I absolutely love this laptop. I had to make a rush purchase for college with just a day prior to class starting! I do have to say I am very impressed at the speed and options this laptop has. Plus the large screen is awesome and no more squinting to see what I am working on. I included a snippet (included) of what my desktop looks like. Highly recommend!

The HP 17.3 inch was a very pleasant surprise. With the features it comes with such as 8 gigs of ram, a 250 GB sad, and a 2.40 GHZ CPU, I didn't expect a whole lot. The laptop was on sale for $399 dollars which didn't add to my confidence level. I decided to gamble on it anyhow and I absolutely love it. I did upgrade the ram to 16 gigs and this machine is a monster. The video is superb. Extremely clear graphics and very responsive. I am a web developer and use it to do coding. I do not game on it and I'm not sure if it would be good for gaming, but as an everyday business use machine, it is spectacular. Keyboard is not backlit so it becomes a small bit difficult to use in low light areas. Battery seeks to hold a charge for several hours, but not much longer.

Great laptop. Does what I need it to do. Works quickly. Ram is perfect

The graphics arevery good. Speed and responses is extremely good for the price. I am running a secondary monitor with no problems

I am very happy with my purchase. It is much faster than my last HP laptop. The display is very nice and vibrant. The only problem I have is the keyboard is silver and the letters are silver so I have to be careful typing. It is larger than I wanted, but the price was in my range, so all in all I’m happy.
