 I Love to Use this Laptop February 1, 2010

I bought this to process 1850 video clips and slides from our African mission last June and to make DVD's for public presentation. It does a fantastic job and it is fun to use and looks cool.
 Good computer after the Windows 7 Upgrade December 11, 2009

I have had this computer since July, and I am happy with it. The display is beautiful, good battery life, huge hard drive, etc. It comes with Vista Home Premium 64-bit, and I bought it just in time for the free Windows 7 Upgrade. There were some minor performance issues and glitches, but I suspected that this may be Vista-related. After recently installing the Windows 7 Upgrade, I found out that I was right...performance is greatly improved, and no more weird lockups or errors.
One concern I had is that the computer runs a bit hot in the area around the exhaust fan. To an extent, this is normal with any computer, but I was wondering if this was hotter than usual. It's possible that AMD processors generally run hotter than Intel, which is not necessarily a problem. I did call HP Technical Support about this, and they had me do a BIOS upgrade. I believe this improved the temperature slightly, but it still runs hot in that one corner of the computer. By the way, I downloaded a temperature monitor program to see the actual numbers and location of the heat, and the hard drive runs very cool. Heat is the worst enemy of a hard drive, so if it was running at high temperatures, I would be very concerned...but that is not the case.
I had no problem with the color of the keyboard and seeing the white letters. I think many people are making too big of a deal out of this. Granted, I do type by touch (the normal way) rather than by hunt-and-peck. When I need to look to reach special keys, I have no problem seeing the labels on the keys.
Overall, this is a very good computer. However, I highly recommend upgrading it to Windows 7 immediately. I noticed that after installing Windows 7, the "Windows Performance Index" of this computer went from a 3.3 to a 4.2. That is proof that Windows 7 is better for this computer.

The keyboard is as shiny as a mirror, in fact, the whole surface. I cannot see the keys and anywhere you touch you leave a mark, a smudge, a fingertip. Try to buy one that is not shiny like this one.

I am very pleased with my new HP. The large screen makes the difference. I trust Hp, having more of their products. S if you want to buy a very nice, good price, laptop, this should be it.
