What's great about it:?the screen, ports, built in webcam What's not so great:?hardware, touchpad, weight, battery life and VISTA!!!!! "This machine has a hardware configuration that should make it a relatively powerful machine, unfortunately the specs just don't add up to that. First of all, I owned a Gateway about 2 years ago and loved the AMD processor in it, except that it overheated WAY too much. I upgraded to an Acer a year ago with an Intel and didn't really notice it, which I now know is a good thing. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Amazing Video. What's not so great:?Performance. "I bought a DV7 about 7 months ago and It is very, very slow. It has 4gb of ram and a 2.0GHz AMD but my 2004 dell 4700 with 1 gig is faster! from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Everything!! The setup is so easy and your up and running in no time What's not so great:?yea right its awsome "The hp pavillion entertainment laptop is really great!! It was my first time picking my own laptop and i am very pleased with the results. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Love the 17" screen, color, price "I've had this computer for almost 4 weeks now and I haven't had any problems or trouble with it. I was going to take it back to trade up for HP same 17" notebook but the trade up has 6 gigs 500 hard drive, and the best intel processor out there at the moment but decided to keep this one because I didn't want to spend $500 more . from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Display, everything runs really fast What's not so great:?really low battery life and lags a little "I always wanted a laptop because my old computer was old and really slow. Once i saw this laptop and saw that it had 4gigs of RAM and a good video card i wanted it. Yes I did like it it ran World of Warcraft pretty smoothly with very little lag. But sometimes the processor is not that great. from Bestbuy.com What's not so great:?Keyboard can be very difficult to see in high glare or low light situations. Battery life is only about 2 hours. "The display is very nice; however, the processor speed is not what I was expecting. Programs open and close slowly. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Stupid fast pc What's not so great:?AMD processor "I have had this pc for a little over 6 months or better and not once have i had a problem with it.. although i am a bit more advanced inthe pc field than your average user it suits me just fine .. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Very Simple What's not so great:?A lot of problems, had to send it to HP more then 3 times within 5 months "First of all, the laptop looks great. But looks can be deceiving. from Bestbuy.com I just browse the web, user office, and e-mail. That being said, I expect my machine to do those tasks flawlessly. When reading the reviews for this machine, the one thing that kept coming up, over and over, was the underperfomring processor. That was definitely the first thing I noticed. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?screen resolution and size. speed and handsome designe! What's not so great:?battery could last longer "I did some research on line for an upgrade from our desktop and came up with two options which i saw on bb website, however, when i got to the store and saw this laptop i was ga ga over the size and attractiveness. I have always been skeptical of amd processors but so far the performance has proved to be excellent: fast downloads, webbrowsing, multitasking, excellent gaming, movie graphics and resolution. from Bestbuy.com
