HP Pavilion decision?

Hey guys, i need a laptob around $1500 for college, and i found this one on www.notebookreviews.com

What do you guys think about it? Any other suggestions? Thanks

HP laptops are nice :]

I had a HP compaq laptop solid it was 5 hours battery, but they're discontiued now,

Dad was going to buy a pavillion laptop but he got my old pc instead

I've heard good things about Macs but they can be quite expensive ;x

Im gonna get a Lenovo T61 laptop for college next year.

That is a very nice HP and is certainly loaded. The 2 gigs of RAM is especially nice. I've been researching HPs and I like their quality.

The only thing that saw was that the HD was a 5400 rpm and there is certainly a lot of software installed.

I am wondering if you could go directly through HP and do your own customization where it would come out around $1,500 (or less) but with a faster harddrive and/or better warrenty/protection.

Its a fine machine. You may be able to find a similar spec machine for less at Bestbuy, etc.

If you don't plan to game with the machine, opt for integrated graphics. They will give you longer battery life. And current IGPs are powerful enough for everything you need to do.

If you do game, a 7400go may not be powerful enough.
