5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bang for the Buck, November 8, 2008

By	wanderlust (santa cruz, ca) - See all my reviews

This is an exceptional laptop though it does run hot on your lap so I purchased a laptop cooler just so it lifts it off my lap with circulation underneath and it keeps it cool enough so it doesn't shut down without using the usb fan which is great because I don't want to be listening to a usb fan when I'm working.

The first laptop I purchased would crash when it got too hot because I had it directly on my lap without much circulation.

The laptop I have now with the cooler doesn't ever crash.

Another benefit that hasn't been mentioned is that there is room for 2 hard drives in the chassis. I put in another 250 gb laptop which is great since I am an avid photographer.

Vista handles smoothly with 3gb of ram yet it runs faster with 4 which I put in.

It handles photo editing programs with ease and it turns out that I was a Vista resistor but now I love it!

The only thing I am not completely satisfied with is the sound when playing dvd's and some youtube videos. I don't know if it's the drivers but when playing dvd's the volume is not as loud as when playing music. Perhaps there is a software program that can boost the volume.

I like the webcam and enjoy that it is integrated. I recorded a video of me playing guitar and singing and posted it on youtube and it came out great. I like the software and the hardware.

Do be careful with the ac adapter plug because if it is damaged it's a costly and difficult repair and it's easy to damage if you trip on the cord. I learned this the hard way with a dell laptop.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worst keyboard ever, July 7, 2009

By	Paul F. Love "An Awakening Consciousness" (San Angelo, TX United States) - See all my reviews

If you are a touch typist, DO NOT BUY this computer! Instead of the right Shift key being the normal double size key located directly below the Enter key, the space is now occupied by the Up Arrow key, while the right Shift is a single size key located below and to the left of the Enter key. You will constantly hit the "up arrow" key when you want to capitalize and then shift your typing to the line above; it is very frustrating.

5.0 out of 5 stars It cannot be beat!, February 25, 2009

By	Vanessa J. Ramos "QWEST27" (South Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All I have to say is that this laptop has stood up well to the amount of abuse I put it through. This is my 2nd HP Pavilion laptop and I have noticed with both that after a month or so, there is a little play in the screen hinge. It is a little loose, but everything about the system functions properly and I could not be happier!
