Big bright screen, full keyboard, the power to do what you want. This laptop should be called a portable desktop, it will make you get rid of your desktop as it has the power and performance of a midrange desktop

i wish the usb was on the back, but hey, you cant have everything from a porsche

Very Slick design. I like the large keyboard. Video graphics are great for my games, and the WebCam is great for me to see my child when i am away on business

Has Vista. I do not like the Vista on it and too lazy to switch to XP. Also the Blu Ray player can only play 1 layer disc until Hp comes up with the Firmware to make it 2 layer. So in the mean time i am stuck with disc that will not play

This seems to be a great laptop for the money. To answer everybodies' question, YES it does read and write CD's, although NewEgg failed to mention that

Vista Home Premium, wish it were XP although on this machine it does seem to run pretty well. The 4gigs of ram does really help the speed
