More than just adequate.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am a wildlife artist and I just needed something to catalog my Photos for further references to paint. This has adequate space, more than needed plus a great, crispy clear screen to display my pics in detail. I am also pleased it still has a CD drive included. Lastly, the price was very reasonable. I am definitely getting my money's worth with this one !

This HP laptop is excellent for my business
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the 2nd HP 17.3 inch Pavilion that I have purchased in the last 7 months for my business. Because the 1st one was reliable, I purchased another one so that I can be on the internet with one and type the data that I need into the other laptop. I use these laptops in my own business for legal forensics and utilize a wireless hotspot in my mobile office which is a RV. Using a HDMI cable from 1 HP laptop to a 29 inch TV allows for the images to be much larger for my viewing and data entry into the 2nd HP laptop. The TV can be put into portrait mode and the TV bracket swiveled to the portrait position since most legal documents are on legal size documents so the diversity of these 2 HP Pavilions is excellent for viewing and typing while away from the home office. The battery life appears to be sufficient although I rarely am not plugged into either 110volt or while on the road, utilize a generator or inverter to power my laptops and TV.

Perfect laptop for above average uses
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for the best laptop between $300 and $450 that would run moderate games such as World of Warcraft, and games that are pretty much equal or older. I mostly use this laptop for school, and it works perfectly. The CPU and graphics processor exceeded my expectations for a $400 17'' laptop. The chassis feels a tad on the cheap plastic side, but they had to cut costs somewhere and I'm glad it wasn't on the internal components. This laptop is perfect for those needing a 17'' screen for videos or games, and the keyboard is a good size, and includes a numeric keypad which helps me tremendously. The main thing I don't like about the laptop is the DVD drive. It is noisy, feels very flimsy when it is open, and it seems to load slower than any other DVD drive I've ever owned. Easily replaceable, but some people would like to know this kind of info. I use a wireless trackball mouse primarily, and the built-in mouse pad is ok. It gets the job done, but I don't like them. Best performing laptop I could find brand new for under $400, plus I upgraded to a max of 8 gigs of ram for about $75 and now I don't have to worry about anything else for a very long time.

Awesome bargain
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome find for HP lovers especially, but great for anyone who needs a laptop and doesn't want to spend a whole lot of money for quality. Lovely large screen, decent built in speakers, and bright display. I upgraded my memory to 8gb and geek squad installed it quickly and my new laptop was ready for me the next day! The battery could last a bit longer, but it charges up fairly quickly. I would definitely buy it again.

Awesome laptop for the price!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hardest part for me was getting used to winders 8. It has been fun! This laptop is great for surfing my 40+Mbps wired cable connection but the wireless works just as well at 10+Mbps on my old wireless router, but that only shows up on speed-check, not the screen. I use it for surfing, email and TV/videos/movies as well as music. The speakers are OK but I recommend headphones. An inexpensive wireless mouse is a good idea too. I may even expand memory to 8 gig in the future. Video is great too. I just hope this one lasts longer than 3 years like my last HP that overheated and died.

Not the fastest but definitely a good one...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After losing a high end laptop after only 3 years I decided the quality on these things have gone waaay down hill, so I didnt want to spend too much on a brnad new one. Was going with a 15 inch that was a little faster until I found out the APU cant be upgraded but on this machine it can. So IF the video chip ever goes on this one (like my last laptop) I know that it is all integrated into one APU (a cpu with graphics for those that might not be aware what an APU is) so it can be replaced. Not all APUs on the current wave of laptops can be replaced but this is one of the last few that can. So my plans are to eventually get a faster A10 in here. But it is what it is and for the sale price it was worth it. Nice screen, low glare, AMD and not Intel graphics, etc etc. U have to settle for an i3 with intel at this price point which is not that great. Guess i said enough. Over and out. OH YEAH...almost forgot...GREAT touchpad! One of the few last Synaptics touchpads around at this pricepoint. Do NOT buy a laptop that has the Elan pads. They are AWFUL!!! Now...over and out.

Very Good But Needs Some Love
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a solid laptop for e-mail, web surfing, and light gaming. I bought this laptop for gaming when I travel. I didn't expect a "gaming" pc but I wanted to run games a little bit above minimum settings and get at least 40 fps. This laptop cannot do this out of the box. I spent about 1 day cleaning the bloatware off, installing windows updates, and my apps/games. I tried some of my regular games (Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2) and they ran better than I expected! I ordered a 4gb ram upgrade and when I installed it, it made all the difference! It cost $45 altogether from an online site for the ram upgrade. After the upgrade, Diablo 3 runs pretty flawlessly and I am able to play PvE in GW2 without worry. This is exactly what I expected! I feel like I got a pretty good deal because I got it on sale. The cost of the RAM upgrade did not exceed the normal retail price so I still got it for an ok deal. I did not (nor will I ever) use Geek Squad for the computer clean up. If you are unsure of how to perform these diagnostic steps there are always tutorials online.

Good laptop for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop cost less than the comparable HP laptop that is smaller. It is great a desktop replacement for my ancient desktop but kind of large for a laptop. The display is awesome and the speed is adequate for my homework/social network needs. If you watch a lot of movies or videos, you may want to opt for something a little more powerful. All in all, it is a good laptop at a really good price.

Q: Questionhow hard is it to add RAMSpecs say it has 4GB DDR3L SDRAM For multitasking power, expandable to 8GB. Never done this before is it difficult?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer No, it is not difficult. Take the battery out, then loosen one screw, slide the panel out toward the front of the laptop and you can access the memory right there. One memory card is in there already, then there's a free slot. Took me longer to figure out how to get that panel off than it did to insert the memory. I did this before i ever powered on the computer the first time--windows had no trouble recognizing the added memory.

Q: QuestionDo I need a separate wireless device for this laptop?Just trying to figure out if it has built in Wifi.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer Yes wifi is built in. You do not need to buy anything else. Hard to imagine any laptop not having built in Wifi these days. It has 2.4 GHz wireless N (which is pretty typical). Some laptops offer dual band (2.4 and 5 GHz) options. The 2.4 GHz gives you better range, at lower speeds. HOWEVER. These lower speeds probably still dwarf your actual internet connection speeds (they dwarf mine) so for internet related stuff it will always be plenty fast. The only time you might miss the 5Ghz band is if you were, say, copying files from one machine to another over your local wireless network. But for regular internet use, it won't make a lick of difference.

Q: Questionwindows xp supported?ms will not know about the hardware just the software side so i need to know if it will run xp. anybody tried installing xp on this laptop? will it work?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer XP will NOT work on this machine. Nor Any laptop or pre-built PC manufactured after win 8 has been released. It just will not run an older OS. You can install it, but the drivers aren't there. The internal components like the BIOS with not recognize the drivers from older OS peripherals. Each on-board component has it's own bios chip, this is why it will not run anything older than windows 8. I have already tried it. So unless you are building a brand new tower type box, then you can put what ever OS you want on it, there just is any way to get it working just right on a new pre-built retail tower or laptop machine. That is the story.
