this from a guy who really does need to use a true blue PC from time to time, not a Mac running Windows. The value versus Mac laptops is outrageous. If you are on the edge deciding, it is really worth it and is a bargain in some ways. Lastly, listed a rebate, but it had to be scrounged up on the HP website and wasn't a simple elegant link or form. I haven't had a chance yet to really push the graphics card or see how it responds with some of the 4 GB Ram assigned on top of the 512 dedicated.

I went with Kaspersky instead of the trial Norton, and loaded a new version of Home Office.

As someone else may have said, there wasn't too much junk to uninstall. I haven't tried the wireless yet, and don't have need that I know of for the Bluetooth, but it automatically linked up to my wired and wireless home office network. You didn't have to type in parameters, etc. All you had to do was launch it, and it did its job. The odd thing is, the bug fix worked automatically and not like the HP page described. Maybe it was due to downloading Vista SP1. Fortunately, a good/lucky search term search of HP's site had a bug fix. Not that I really care about that or the media control, but we'll see in time about the latter.Īlso, very alarming, was that my C drive showed up as 50 GB or so. If you provide two headphone jacks, why not two earplugs? Literature somewhere may have described it as a Lightscribe machine, but it doesn't appear to be. I thought the latter a gimmick, but it is seductive in its own biometric way.

I've had one other freeze while at the log in/swipe fingerprint screen. A bit disconcerting, and I don't know whether it was Vista, or the machine. Vista crashed the very first time during its boot up after going through the set up screens. the keys are hard to distinguish and must be viewed dead on. The way my office is lit, and I sometimes do presentation work in dark areas. (I gotta say though, those huge IMacs at Best Buy look incredible, but I'm spent out for a while.)Ī few comments/constructive remarks: A backlight keyboard would be great.

Time will tell as eventually I'll face the decision of a potentially serious change to an Intel Mac or see how well I adapt to this. I described this beauty as a "foldable desktop machine" to an associate. Strange but true, my desktop is an aging G5 Mac (!) and this ALMOST makes me want to switch over to Wintel as my primary platform.

I don't have Adobe CS4 for Windows, but do own a Photoshop CS3, and again, the screen size on contemporary menu and tabbed software will be great. I also have written music as a hobby using Reason software, and this has plenty of screen space, power, and hard drive space for 50-100GB of samples and music files and won't even sneeze. It may prove to be useful in occasional presentation work as the world goes HD.

(I bought them reconditioned direct from HP, because of presentation work a primary driver was name brand and a dedicated video card.) I returned a 17" lesser HP to Staples unopened as I justified the price increase on this model with more drive space, the subwoofers, and of course, a true HD screen which provides great real estate. I bought it because I wanted to be "wowed" - I have aging HP laptops over 3 or 4 years old. Even the power supply/brick and power plug into the computer are over-sized. The screen is very, very impressive, and Internet photos on HP's AOL portal were magnificent. As per someone else's review, when part of the initial personalization had a pulsing logo in the center, I was mesmerized.

Apparently is has also been sourced elsewhere.
