Summary: Good piece of hardware
Comment: As title says, very nice piece of hardware, neat, clean, love the chrome-style keyboard. The only issue i found was the preloaded Windows Vista. It's just pathetic (oh, by the way i'm a Network Engineer with over 15 years field experience, so believe me when i say Vista is pathetic). Anyway, first thing i did was re-partition and re-format the hard drive (didn't care about creating rescue discs, didn't need those), i installed Windows XP (had to do my homework searching for drivers, but at HP Forum i found everything i needed, they all work flawlessly) and latest Ubuntu distro, so now i have a dual-boot monster. It's lightning fast, no crapware, doesn't take forever to start or shut down. Can even edit HD videos on it and work with HDR photograpy using Photoshop CS3. It's really a little gorgeous fast monster. So for the hardware i give excellency rating, of course if you first get rid of that pathetic Vista frankenstein.
Oh, Amazon's service: Impecable. Thanx a lot guys!!

Summary: Nice laptop with good features
Comment: I picked this laptop mainly because Amazon did such a wonderful job posting it on their site. It was so detailed and informative, even more so than HP's website. I've been very happy with all of the ports that this computer has. I like the HDMI port. I've used my Netflix online to watch a movie and plug it in to my flat screen LCD. The picture was a little glitchy which might be from my ISP. Not really impressed with Comcast. The wireless range on this computer is fantastic. The screen is very glossy which gives great sharp clear resolution but at times can give a lot of glare also. Programs on this computer are pretty fast to pull up. It does a good job at running 2 programs at once. My Itunes on my old computer would take over 2 minutes to pull up, this one does it in 6 seconds and it's ready to run. I'm not a "Tech savy" person so take my review with caution. I use my computer for entertainment, internet, and I use it for keeping records and schedules for work. (construction). Everything that I want it to do it does. The only gripe that I have about it is that it is much slower when on battery power. I changed it's power settings but that didn't seem to help. It just made the screen brighter. My advice is try a display model before you buy. That way you know how it feels, looks, and functions. I tried this computer out at my local [...] and then ordered it threw Amazon. Yes, Amazon was cheaper than even [...]. Thank's again Amazon for your wonderful service, products, and great shipping.

Summary: A very good Laptop ... Vista slows it down a little
Comment: A very good balance between size, price, computing power, storage capacity, and cost. Still needed to turn off some Vista features to get it faster. Also, battery doesn't last that long.

Summary: A decent laptop for the price.
Comment: I bought it for my mom about 2 weeks ago. I paid like 450. For the price, it is unbeatable. Boot up is even faster than my thinkpad X61 which has higher configurations, maybe just because not much have been installed yet, but still very impressive. The best part about it is the HDMI output. I connect it to a 24 inch monitor without any problem. It can act like a HTPC perfectly. The noise level is also very low. The wirless connection is 300mbps. The LCD is good for watching movies, but I am really not a big fan of the mirror screen.
The only thing I don't like is the keyboard configuration. Functional keys like delete, page up, page down etc. are placed awkwardly, and since it has not keyboard backlight, I am always worry about strike the wrong key in a dark room. I recommend to use an external keyboard since I think most users will use it as a desktop replacement. As to the BIOS issue, I haven't update my bios yet, so really cannot comment on that.
