Overall this product is a great deal for the price. Only con with this laptop is the mousepad. It locks up coming back from sleep if the gestures are turned on. Also its surface leaves less to be desired. It's metallic surface is not smooth enough and leaves it feeling "sticky".
Quick review - purchased this laptop for a friend. Wanted something fairly light but powerful -- this HP is a great blend of the 2 needs. I looked at the AMD chip version in a retail store and got this one (faster and more RAM) for less... it is Amazon after all!

I am (and more importantly, my friend) very pleased with the performance. The screen height is short, so using this laptop to remote onto another machine (Remote Desktop or GotoMyPC) have presented him with some "getting used to" -- otherwise, it's peppy.

Take special note on the specs -- this HDD is the faster model, which makes a big difference in performance.

Overall - great buy! If I was shopping for one for myself, I'd buy it if I wasn't a Mac fan :-)

Cheers!
I've just recieved this computer after a long research for a good laptop. aND I can assure it's awesome, for the price... it's an incredible value, I've just seen one identical except that it had just 3GB Ram here on Guatemala on Sale at Q9,500 which is about $1,200, and I bought mine at less than half of that. Also its gorgeous, really gorgeous. It has its own flaws, but non that are really really bad. I haven't had any trouble with the pad at all, its fast, its slick its a great laptop overall, also is incredibly quiet and cool. Way better than anything of this price.

If its lower than $550 dont think about it, just buy it.
