HP ENVY 17-2280NR Notebook Intel Core i7 2670QM(2.20GHz) 17.3" 6GB Memory DDR3 1333 1TB HDD 7200rpm BD Combo AMD Radeon HD 6850M

This Desktop replacement is amazing, CPU power is all you could hope for from an Intel Quad Core, I Upgraded ram to 8gb PC3-12800 with Cas 11-11-11-28, tried the 9-9-9-28 and the laptop started freezing ; Blu-Ray drive is awesome, comes with Cyberlink...

Weight, rest pad by touch pad warms up a bit when playing graphics intensive games, but it never burns or become uncomfortable

I bought this primarily for the nights in motel rooms when I had run out of ideas to amuse myself...I could play some games...this machine is a beast....I've Got WOW, COD Black Ops, Skyrim, Civilization 5, and afew more on it and they all run balls out...

Weight....that's it. The battery is really only good for 2 1/2 hours, but I'm WAY happy with that! (A "FULL" 2 1/2 hours) ; The weight is really not a con for me....I saw the weight when I bought it and knew such a machine would have to have some heft...
