Not techy here but my wife's friends are and they pointed my in the right direction. They fed my some techy specs info which led me to this PC. Absolutely love it and the Star Wars element makes every use very enjoyable. The lighted key board is one of my favorite features. Has performed flawlessly.

The speakers are great. Love the 1080p display. Huge HDD. Wish it came with more memory but that can be upgraded after. All the bells and whistles really shine from the death star recycle bin, customizable sounds, screen savers, and wallpapers, to the trench run targeting system track pad.

Fantasic laptop for the Star wars fan, quality product, with lots of special add ons Star Wars sounds, backgrunds, screen savers. Easy set up. Even the boxes it came in were great collectables. The only bad thing about them is so far HP hasn't released a 17in version otherwise we'd have 2 in our household. Haven't figured out the 3D on ityet

Very light, and fast. Battery lasts a long time. Only complaint - for the money it has limited software/security.

I was able to get a great deal on this PC through price matching! Worth every penny. It handles my GoPro editing like a champ. I do wish the RAM was up-gradable but I just use a thumb drive to help boost the memory. Aesthetically the laptop looks awesome! I'm by no means the biggest Star Wars fan in the world but I'm a sucker for red and black things. But definitely a collectible piece for sure!

I was looking for a new computer for school, but one that could also play some games, and this has more than lived up. I was able to get the games I was looking for with the rewards points, and they run perfect

My son got the HP laptop for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. It is a big laptop and he's ten so it may be a bit big for him but he will grow into it. It has red backlit keyboards that look awesome and the quality of the screen is great too!

Disappointment

This laptop is gorgeous. I love every single point that was obviously meticulously designed to appeal to Star Wars fans. However, I'm not just buying a laptop for aesthetics. I purchased this for both a personal and business laptop with a focus on use in the field. I am a network engineer and wanted something for spectrum analysis. I don't need anything too powerful, but need something lightweight, durable, decent battery life, and dependable. Let's talk about the pros and the cons.
Pros:
(1# Beautiful.
#2# Well designed backlit keyboard with Star Wars style font.
#3# Star Wars themed interaction sounds pre-customized in the OS. This is the first time I haven't immediately removed all of the "bloatware" on a system after purchasing it.
#4# Trackpad has a cool reticle design. Moderately fast, but nothing to write home about.
#5# Even the packaging is well designed with little Tie Fighters etched into the foam holding the laptop inside the box.
Cons: Here is where it becomes something that I cannot keep for work.
#1# The monitor flexes inwards with very little pressure on the back, sometimes even just from holding it and moving it around.
#2# HP tried and failed to replicate the "forcetouch" on the MacBook lines. The mouse flexes anywhere that you press on it, but does not actually click down 30-50% of the time. This becomes especially frustrating when trying to multitask and clicks aren't going through frequently.
#3# The whole thing is top-heavy. It feels almost like it'll fall backwards when I put the screen at a comfortable viewing angle #about 30 degrees back from vertical#.
#4# The battery is difficult to put in. I work in the IT field, I have put thousands of batteries in laptops and never have I had to take seven runs at it because it didn't latch easily.
#5# They keyboard, while well designed and gorgeous, has very little travel on the keys #less than many netbooks and ultrabooks I've used# and frequently does not actually enter key presses when entered. I had to correct seven words in this section of the cons alone.
#6# The graphics on the inside, while also beautiful, are cheap stickers that you'll find at a mall stand. Instead of electing to etch these black and white images into the plastic and using a matte material as was done on the outside of the casing, they used a sticker that I can only assume will degrade over time. Not to mention that it's super smooth and resting my hands on it while typing has made them uncomfortably sweaty.
#7# The entire system feels fundamentally cheap. The material is cheap, light-weight plastic, the screen is thin and flexes, the graphics are pictures instead of etched in. This all amounts to feeling like I wasted my money on a "premium" product and received a "gotcha" back from a college art student who decorated their laptop to look like the official Star Wars laptop.
Bottom Line: This laptop is about details. I wanted to love this laptop, I still do. Unfortunately, there are some fundamental flaws that I won't be able to get over on a laptop being used for work purposes. It's too flimsy and doesn't respond as it should on either the keyboard or on the trackpad, and to top it off, it isn't even premium on the graphics on the inside. Unfortunately, this all adds up to tall glass of disappointment. It will be going back within the week.
