Wow!!!!
Very Quickly at this price for me. about Intel Core2 Quad under $1500.
Although 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 Mobile Processor not latest or highest CPU but enough for everything for do.
For Graphics Video, The ATI Mobilty Radeon HD 4650 from AMD is a DirectX 10.1 notebook graphics adapter. Great for gaming performance support most DirectX 9 games (Call of Duty 4, F.E.A.R., or Unreal Tournament 3). HD4650 performance closely nVidia GeForce 9700M GTS,
nVidia GeForce GTX 260M.
For this specs at under 1200 Great Price
(Price only Q9000 about $400 How can)

This laptop is way beyond my expectations! i have had it for over a week and it's a beast!
PROs: the quad core is amazing. not only is it fast, it adds up to 2Gb to video when gaming. the price is top notch! 2 HDD bays(the 500Gb is actually 2x250Gb), eSATA port, great screen! this is the lightest 17" laptop i've held in a while. while i am an nVIDIA gamer, the ATI does a good job withstanding COD4/5, Assassins Creed, and Crysis at almost the highest settings. not bad for a prebuild that is less than $1500!
CONs: beside the fact that HP doesn't include restore discs, there really aren't any... (you will have to create your own restore discs but HP does provide directions on how to do it. it does take a while!)
Other thoughts: i am currently in the process of bumping the RAM from 4Gb to 8Gb and the HDD from 2x250Gb to 2x500Gb. there is nothing wrong with the speed of the laptop but you can never have enough RAM with 64 bit Vista! the hard drives are just for more storage. i love this laptop. compared this one to the latest Gateway FX and the Dell XPS and for the price of this HP, the other 2 couldn't touch this.
Do yourself a favor and buy this from a site other than HP. the same laptop built thru HP was running higher than $2200 for the exact same setup...
Thank for your reviews
I like word "beyond expectations"
and never enough for RAM
Thank
