After about a week of troubleshooting with HP on why it would lock up after two hours or so, they reported that he had hardware failure. First Impressions (FINISH, Tranquility, Heat) When I took the box and fed her, I loved it! The aluminum finish is the biggest advantage for me. After an hour or so the creation and installation (and removal) software, the whole (the heat of plastic to save) was still cool to the touch. It was incredibly quiet. I do not think I've heard that the fans end up in the week I had. The low setting they were in was barely audible. SCREEN The screen is bright, although vertical viewing angles were impressive. Colors were great out of the box. I chose not to play with the settings of ATI. The 1600x900 resolution is a good choice for this screen size I would not go down, and while I could still go higher, it is only to satisfy my greed. Keyboard The keyboard has an overall positive feeling. I had no time to get used to the keyboard layout. I'm used to my HP DV4 not a numeric. And the fact that I used for debugging purposes DV4 most of the week did not help. One of my favorite features is the integrated action buttons you find on the Mac. The function keys are up there, out of the box, mainly used for functions such as play / pause, volume up / down, brightness up / down, etc. You do not have the Fn key to perform functions. If this is desirable, there is a toggle in the BIOS setup. The touchpad The touchpad is a serious design problem for me, though I knew what I was getting into when I ordered. I'm pretty easy to adapt to the keyboard and touchpad, so I thought it would not be a problem. Honestly, I would have no problem if I keep it It was just a nuisance. Let me clarify: When I use the touchpad, which I keep my finger on the mouse button while my middle finger is the tracking system. Because the touchpad is a complete unit, integrated with the buttons below the touchpad sensitivity, any movement of the index finger of the cursor in a rush to send all over the screen. It would not take very long to get used to it, though. And pressing the upper left corner twice to activate or deactivate the touchpad, then accidentally move the cursor while typing is not a concern. AUDIO sound quality was a big factor when choosing this laptop. It was a fire nicknames (apparently well respected, he told me), so I thought it must have been something special. Let me be clear on the front: If you are looking for sound quality, you will not find here. Own portable speakers sound good with a subwoofer to bring some of the lowest frequencies are not normally found in a notebook, but that does not mean that the unit looks good. There is a filter applied, so I could not find the life of me, I was very compressed sound (increasing soft sounds, while drawing back mercilessly loud sounds). I was listening to music with the speakers on board, literally, painful, sometimes (a song by Atreyu with many dishes and sounds as if under a volume of dramatic cuts in the helicopter with each stroke of a dish). I looked everywhere, and even re-install Windows, and updated drivers, and nothing solves the problem. On the other hand, the sound was great through the minijack. The output was strong, although it seems that the average low was driven a little bit about my dv4 with IDT HD audio. This whole thing blows, although complete gimick. Out of the box, the bass and treble controls in Windows are designed to promote the whole, it sounds like shit by setting the "Beat" (Fn + b), is just down the full height of (a) or all the way .
