| Re: What you think of this Laptop? It sounds like an alright system, by the video cards do have memory. It sounds like a pretty good laptop, especially for the price. I dont know about the AMD processors, i havent looked at amd processors, in a while mainly just because i just built a pc and dont need to upgrade. It sounds like a fast pc, at a good price; the only thing i would do if it were mine is buy it and immediately get rid of vista, and put xp on it. |

| Re: What you think of this Laptop? The bigass 17" screen will sap battery life like crazy, but if you're fine with that, looks like a pretty decent deal.

| Re: What you think of this Laptop? 2 hours maybe less depends what your using it for. mine has a 15" screen and lasts between 2.5-3.5 hours depending on the programs I have running, screen brightness, wireless, speaker volume

| Re: What you think of this Laptop? Yeah, I'd say you'll top out at 2.5 with everything at minimum and it will only ast 1.5 watching DVDs or gaming. You can buy new batteries if its a concern, but they tend to run between $75-$100 each.

| Re: What you think of this Laptop? Well your question was, "What you think of this laptop?" Well its looking wonderful, plus its specs are good. Then you went on about wanting something for college... consider these: if you are not a gaming fan/ you won't playing a lot of games, don't buy. Also, consider the cost, and think would this be ok for just college use- think what a waste/heart break if it got stolen etc.... But if you into games, have a lot of cash on your hands that you don't mind spending go a head, just want a good laptop and one you feel comfortable with then go ahead- plus the design/style looks great. |

 | Re: What you think of this Laptop? Yeah thats pretty expensive for just schoolwork, you really dont need anything that fast. Otherwise, that looks like an awesome laptop for the price. Although i have no previous experience w/ HP but that seems pretty good. That lcd will be a monster.
