My son is in college and needed a reliable laptop. We didnt want to spend a fortune yet needed something that could get his work done. So far, so good. No problems, working great, and for all the features that it offers, good buy for the money.It was shipped quickly, and does the job. I would recommend this laptop to anyone. HP is a great alternative to apple.
I bought this laptop for my grandson and he uses it mainley to play games and to look up information on the web. Hes always using it, so I gather that hes happy with it and it works well. I have not heard any complaints from him yet ,regarding any problems.
I agree with the comments about HP support. They are overseas, know little about the product, and are idiots.
I repartitioned the drive (after shrinking the Windows partition with instructions from ubuntuguide dot org) and installed Kubuntu 9.04 Linux within 1 hour. Everything worked right away — from webcam, to wireless, to video, to VMWare. This is one of the best laptops for Linux. I consider myself proficient at computers, so I also installed a few other OSs (on multiple partitions). No problems. I love this laptop. It is fast, and the widescreen great for movies. After 2 months I have discovered no problems (other than that Windows Vista sucks, but we all knew that, and the need to remove all the junkware that HP pre-installs.) But don’t use the recovery disk(s) — it wipes the entire hard drive clean and wipes out all your data. I learned this the hard way. HP sucks at software (and support), even though the hardware is great.

This is my 2nd HP product, 1st laptop. Performs beautifully, and very easy to get running out of the box.
