Pros: I have been a HP customer for about a little over 10 years now and this laptop does not disappoint! Beautiful styling with a power line up of features and performance will make this a wonderful laptop for just about any use. There is so much detail to HP's design of this laptop that maximizes it's functionality (i.e. the quick play keys, pointing device on off, etc). The Blu ray drive is a really nifty addition as well as the tuner card and convenient remote controls for DVD and TV playback. I was slightly worried that the 1.83ghz processor would be as fast as I would have liked but it pleasing fast. Coupled with the 4gb of memory this Core 2 Duo processor has given me no issues. It runs normal applications even video editing software very quickly! The large hard drive is also an extremely nice feature. 320GB will be hard for to fill up even with all the video and pics that I will be running through this laptop. The 17" screen is very nice and has a produces a beautiful image!

Cons: Cons were hard to come by for me with this laptop so the only one I could come up with is battery life. It just doesn't last to long. Then again when you factor in the large screen it makes since. Size is a problem for some but not for me. If you will be traveling a lot this may be a bit bulky.

Overall Review: This laptop is really a great one and I highly recommend this to someone who wants a high performance high feature laptop for a great price!

Pros: A great laptop either as a desktop replacement or 2nd computer. Great features included, excellent specs. Very quick and efficient. The keyboard is fantastic, the keys are fast and smooth, it was an easy transition from my desktop keyboard. Excellent laptop for travel, paperwork, and entertaintment. For the price you cant ask for a more complete and powerful laptop.

Cons: I was concerned about the processor rate (1.8 ghz) but it proved to be a non-issue. Computer runs programs and games flawlessly with speed.

Overall Review: Hard to beat

Pros: Overall this is an excellent product. You can easily multi task with this laptop. Do not be mislead by the 1.83Ghz 2 Core processor. Its very versatile and performs very well. The screen is also another plus. the 17" wide screen is marvelous. The TV tuner and Blue Ray disc drive also add this laptop's multimedia capabilities. Very light, sleek, and will definitely turn heads. Highly recommended.

Cons: The batter life is its only downfall i believe. When i am either mixing music, or watching a movie the battery life is drained rather quickly. Maybe an upgrade would solve those problems.

Pros: Wow, where to begin . . . I'm a soldier deployed to Iraq and I was looking for a good, quality laptop to replace my old one of 3 years. I searched on the web and gaming magazines for about 3 months before finding this on Newegg's site and then comparing it to other laptops offered. You really can't beat the specs on this for the price (4gb of RAM, 512mb dedicated video card, core 2 duo cpu, and 17" widescreen display to name a few). Out here laptops are an easy lifeline back to loved ones at home and I think I made a killer investment with this one. Big thanks to Newegg. Shipping was a breeze as well, I ordered it on the 21st of May and picked it up at mail call on the 1st of June.

Cons: I can't really think of any cons for this. I didn't buy this laptop to use as a stand-alone: it's always plugged in, so I don't have to worry about the battery life. I'll be ordering a cooling unit for it soon because it does get kind of hot out here. Other than that, I haven't found any shortcomings as of yet.

Pros: Fast processor, high capacity memory, great graphics, huge hard drive, blu-ray disk, huge 17'' screen

Cons: none so far

Pros: This is one of the best deals in a mid-priced entertainment laptop. It comes with mostly good hardware and the Blueray is a steal. Lots of RAM and a good graphics card for gaming is nice.

Cons: The design is somewhat flawed and it does get very hot when running high-end applications. Given all the stuff in this thing it is silly to have a 5200rpm hard drive. It is too bad it is not 7200rpm.

Overall Review: Great computer if you use a laptop for either movies or gaming overall, even if there are some silly things missing.

Pros: This laptop display is great! No problems with any of the components and the cooling fans are alot quieter than my previous laptop.

Cons: Vista 64bit is not compatible with all software and hardware, you might want to research any older products before buying. Documentation is a little lacking but that is the way of modern times with everything being made electronic.

Overall Review: Overall a great purchase, especially for the price.

Pros: Big screen, tons of ram, great graphics, Blu-ray, HDMI, Core 2 Duo... The list goes on and on. This is my first laptop and I can't say that I will ever go back to a desktop after this. Runs everything fast and with little effort. The Blu-Ray is great! Easy to hook up to the big screen HDTV and watch movies.

Cons: As others have said, battery life is kinda low... Plus, this thing can get hot, especially when playing a blu-ray movie... I have to prop up the back end and let the fans get more air other wise it gets too hot and I lose the signal to the TV... A cooling pad is a good idea for watching blu-ray. I would also like to see a 7200rpm HDD.

Overall Review: Easily the best deal in laptops right now... Fast, feature packed and at a great price!
