Rating: - Terrible product-be warned!
I had this computer for 14 months when suddenly went dead. I took it in to have it checked out and they said 'the system board is broken' and wanted $500 to be repaired. The computer shop said that he this model in "all the time' for repairs.
I called Hewlitt Packard and they wanted even more than that to 'fix.'
Not only did I lose my data, but I am out a $1,000 laptop. I would not recommend any one buy a Hewlitt Packard.
Rating: - It looks better than it is!!!
To be completely honest with you, this Notebook looks awesome, from the liquid metal finish to the white lighted buttons and HP logo on the top monitor cover, the only bad thing about the look of this notebook is that it gets really dusty real quick and the fingerprint marks will fill every inch.
Some other reviewer mention that the quickplay buttons are buggy and don't work, all I can say about mine is that after I press it takes a second or two to execute the action require.

Rating: - Purchased for my fiance's daughter....tempted to keep it or buy another one for myself.
Purchased this laptop for my fiance's daughter. I will be taking it back to Puerto Rico with me on 10/10 so here is my problem. I love this laptop so much I almost want to keep it(which I know I can't because she truly needs it for school)or purchase another one. I currently own a Dell Inspiron. I honestly feel like selling my Dell and purchasing another DV5-1000US. From the dual-core processor the list goes on....4gb memory, 3mb cache, 250gb hard drive and to boot....a built-in webcam/microphone. ... Read More
Rating: - Great notebook
I needed this notebook next day, and Amazon's reasonable charge for next day delivery (under $20 on a $900 item) allowed me to order it this way. Unfortunately, the confirmation had delivery estimated in 5 days (over a weekend). I called to complain, and was told they were having supply problems. I said the item was in stock when I ordered it, and they offered to refund my shipping. That was nice, but I wanted it the next day. Well, imagine my surprise when it arrived the next day. Nice.
Rating: - great but buggy
I've had this for 3 weeks and am now returning it.
Pros: Sleek, fast, screen looks great. For me the ideal size as a desktop replacement and providing portability around my apartment (too big to take it everywhere all the time).
Cons: This was the kicker. The volume control does not work. I tried numerous calls to customer service, did about 6 different patches (new driver installation, then uninstall quicklaunch then reinstall, restore point, recovery). It worked, then problem ... Read More
