What a brilliant laptop, i'm glad I got this. I got so many good things to say about this that I could just start blabering... Instead, I think it best to break things down lol.
Screen:
The 15.4" WXGA screen is excellent, whites are brilliant white, darks are dark and the screen is bright enough for anyone! Also seems to have a great response time when on games.
Sound:
The speakers on this laptop dont have the best bass (but which laptop does!) However the speakers are good quality and are loud enough for pretty much anything! You can clearly hear music from another room
Keyboard:
The keyboard is good quality, keys are very responsive and feel nice to type on. The small shift key takes a bit of getting used to but all in all the keyboard's layout is very good!
Wifi & Bluetooth:
I haven't actually got a Wireless N router but the wireless card in the laptop is great, can get a decent signal mostly anywhere in the house. Bluetooth also works very nicely and i've had no problems transferring pictures and songs to/from my phone.
Graphics:
The HD3200 does a good job with games on the laptop, bear in mind it wont play the most demanding games but for stategy/simulation games (such as Simcity, Railroads, Tropico, Sea Dogs) it works very well! Think of it as an entry-level gaming laptop.
RAM:
The ram in the laptop is quick and windows reflects this in it's speedy loading times and loading of programs. Windows Vista (32 bit) that comes with this laptop picks up the 4Gb of Ram in the system.
Processor:
The processor handles pretty much anything i've tried on this laptop so far in it's stride! Is quick at loading up programs and even handles (in conjunction with the gfx chip) 1080p video files!
Trackpad:
The trackpad on the laptop is pretty much the same as any other, it works well and is responsive. The botton design is quite nice too!
Battery Power:
Using the "HP Optimized" setting I managed to get almost 3 hours battery life out of the laptop (bluetooth turned off, wireless on downloading, screen at 60% brightness and speakers at 75%). So in my opinion this battery is great! Considering my Toshiba Satelite Pro it only managed 1.5 hours, almost double the battery life!
Overall:
I would recommend this laptop to anyone purely because of the price and the amount of laptop you get for that price! Is great all around for pretty much anything (except high end gaming that is) and can do most things your PC can do (probably better if your pc is more than a year old!)
