well, i got this laptop as an upgrade after my samsung was stolen, and, at £100 more than i paid for the samsung, i cant complain. marketed as an entertainment laptop, which means that it is great for films, music and photos, a whole new menu opens at the touch of one of the special glowing buttons on the top, near the screen.

its fan is loud, but not overly so. the screen is nice and big, perfect for films. one of the only downsides is the battery life, which seems to go faster than it says it will. multitasking is brilliant, only the occasional crash with very power intensive tasks, nothing major. the keyboard is slightly angled for better typing, and it certainly seems to help (or so im told by hp)

well worth looking at for a good, not too expensive, and reliable laptop that works, and, with 4gb ram, damn fast. brilliant storage space, i get about 287gb out of 320, so altogether a functional, stylish, fingerprint-attractive laptop, that is well worth considering
