Pros
- Espresso Black Imprint and Moonlight white Imprint on the surface is cool and stylish
- Fast Response with choice of AMD and Intel processors
- Graphics card to play heavy 3D games
- Great Entertainment Features and speakers quality is world class
- Complete keyboard with number pad is really helpful
- HP ProtectSmart technology to prevent data loss in case of system crash
Cons
- Low Battery Backup, should have been 9 Cell
- No Bluetooth is the biggest blunder
- Windows 7 is still buggy and some softwares may not be compatible with it
Conclusion
The notebook looks are great and offer you complete entertainment with Altec Lansing speakers and 15.6-inch screen. Good configuration, external graphics card and fast processing makes it perfect for Internet browsing, videos, gaming and personal use. If you want a notebook for your desktop replacement and don’t use Bluetooth then it’s fit for you. I would not recommend it for mobile use as it’s a bit heavy and BIG in size. Still I am not sure why this notebook has no Bluetooth ?
