I guess it is safe to say the design will never win any awards. It looks chunky and the color combination (all silver inside and matt black on the outside) doesn't look very appealing.

The buttons on the touch-pad feel rubbery and offer a good touch, but it attracts dirt, is nearly impossible to clean.
Ditto for the silver finish too...starts to rub off after a few months and ends looking ancient.

The specs are decent and well worth the price - but my personal experience with all hp/compaq products (I've had 3 hp/compaq laptops to date) is that they all have a problem with the motherboard.
Not sure if this is a generic problem with all hp/compaq products...or maybe I'm just plain unlucky.

Of course, their after-sales support is quite good, but it doesn't feel nice taking a barely-three-months-old laptop for repair.

Better to spend more money and end up with a more solid product.
