    I can't seem to view the page. It seems like the URL was shortened incorrectly?

    Overall it's not bad.
    My qualms about it: I don't like HP at all. People generally have had bad experiences with them and their customer support is severely lacking. And you'll probably want to get a dedicated graphics card. It speeds certain applications up quite a bit.

    Um, is that bad? I thought 2.4 GHz is supposed to be okay...

    i3 isn't the greatest, but it's not bad.

    Also, I have an HP; their customer service is TERRIBLE. TERRIBLE. And my laptop gets insanely overheated, insanely fast.

    Yeah yeah. I was hoping you would let those 1 or 2 exceptions slip by.

    I have to agree, I had a problem with my HP Entertainment HDX, and I had to online-chat them 5x and call them (2x) before I got the solution myself. They all gave me different answers, and it was all shit. :( Eventually, I just went poking around, and I had to solve it myself T___T.

    If you don't have any problems with HP though, the computers are great.

    Yeah, mine has great specs for a nice price. But I had a problem with BSoDs, and the customer support was just terrible.

    Wow, these laptops are really good. Too bad they're kind of heavy. If only there could be lighter laptops with comparable specs, but I guess those would cost at least $1000...

    I wouldn't buy a dell. They suffer from planned obsolesence. HP and Asus are the best brands imo.
