Well to continue with the review .....
The laptop build quality is excellent. The laptop is feature rich as you see and HP really delivered with this one.The total cost works to be 67k after taxes and I found after a in depth search that for this range this model gives it all compared to dell and lenovo.
The screen is a tru-bright 15.4 " screen and does well for designers (i would know....i am UI designer).Gaming exp is ok I guess(I am light gamer so cant really comment).
The keybord and touchpad are easy to use.
The system is pretty fast even with 12 windows open(been there...done that)
The wifi and bluetooth are contorlled by a single button below the screen.The wifi is sooper easy to configure.(done wifi networking @ home ....with nil networking knowledge)
It has all the usual Lan card ..modem ...multi video output...firewire.
Its best for ppl who wanna to exp adv computing power on ur lap :D ....
The one touch recovery is sooper you can recover only apps/drivers or reset sys to factory settings.(ur files not disturbed)
The power duo processor gives a very smooth windows experience.
The dvd writer is lightscribe model and works pretty well.
The Batt charges for an hour and gives ard 2&1/2 hrs of usage more if you dont use music while working on it.
Well cant think of anything else than to say...Its a very good buy Buddy!!
Chao.
