Pros: At this point all I can say WOW! I have tested every port and everything has functioned great out of the box. I looked for well over 2 months and made this my first notebook purchase. I have built several desktops so I have some knowledge in the field of hardware. Mine actually came with a webcam and a HDMI output. Looks great on a 50" plasma. Yah as others have mentioned it comes with a bit of the bloatware, but manufactures have to make some green too. Love the full size keyboard and the numpad on this side. Doin tech support for a wireless company I have a bit of knowledge with wireless networks and was partial to Toshiba Sat. as they were always the easiest to hook up to any wireless network. It was a toss up between this and a Toshiba, yes HP won. I got it primarily for college, thought well it should do a lil gaming on the side too. Plays Crysis, COD6, and so far anything I have thrown at it at medium settings and no lag. Just buy this machine it PERFORMS even with W7.

Cons: The day after I ordered this, it went on sale for $100 off, DOH! palm to face ;-{ after watchin it for almost 2 months the day after I order, murphy's law huh.

Overall Review: Created the recovery media and it took about 2 hours. Alot of features on this model, I like the touch feature of the volume adjustments and the to turn the wireless on/off at the slide of finger. Comes with as others have mentioned a quick start guide, that was it a quick start. No issues at all, overall is a great product, but what do I have to compare too with this being my first notebook. As far as the gaming goes I personally don't feel that notebook are gaming systems but this outplays my desktop as I have not built a new one in about 4 years. Windows 7 is a nice improvement in OS's but I liked Vista so W7 is an easy adjustment. Again just buy this machine it PERFORMS.

Pros: Works like it should. Hardly ever to I get a failed burn from "Verbatim". 1 out of about 5 spindles. Great stuff and the price is even better. Locally it costs about double, I can wait an extra couple days for 50%off. Thanks Newegg for another speedy delivery.

Cons: Not free

Overall Review: Just a personal preference for my rigs both PC and DVD players, DVD -R for movies and DVD +R for data.

Pros: As the description says "Verbatim" they are one of the most inexpensive quality discs that I have used. I personally do a TON of burning, everything from backing up data to movies and just about anything digital. These work better than some of the more popular "Household" name brands. I usually only get 1 if any bad burns out of a spindle of 100. Thanks newegg for the speedy delivery. Ordered on Monday and got them on Wednesday. As always Newegg delivers again.

Cons: Not free

Overall Review: Just a personal preference of mine, I use DVD +R for data and DVD -R for movies, thats what works best for me.

Pros: Samll, but 2 GB of data. Xfered 1.90 GB in under 3 minutes. Great item for the price. Switch blade type USB port connector. So far this little baby rocks. Great for my traveling business, the write protect is an awesome feature that I can rest assured when troubleshooting a suscipioussly virus infected machine. I do house calls for sick PC's and this little thing holds all of my utilities in one tiny little stick, much better than luggin around my software case that weighs around 10 lbs.. Thanks Newegg for the low priced item and as always super fast delivery.

Cons: Manufactured wise, NONE yet. However on a side note there is no cap to lose whcih is great but that leaves the USB connector exposed to the lint in my pocket. I will craft my own lil cap and all will be well.

Pros: Very quite fans. Makes my new case illuminate in blue. Keeps everything quiet and very cool. I ran some benchmarks to test the new fans ability and it amazed me that these fans kept my CPU temp at a cool 33 degrees Celsius or 91.4 F. Pretty good in my opinion. I am going to purhcase a few more of these sets for future PC's. Newegg of course is always fast and very inexpensive.Thanks AGAIN Newegg.

Cons: At this time I can't find any of course only had them about 2 days now so hopefully this trend will continue.

Comments: PROS: Great card going from a AGP 128mb FX5200 to this is no comparison. The graphics on everything is much more detailed and can play any game with out any lag at all. SUH-WEET. Cons: Now with the SUH-WEET card I have to upgrade to an LCD monitor because now I am limited to the capabilities of my CRT monitor, hehe.
