Amazing
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Apr 29, 2004I have owned this system for 3 months & this system has ran everything i have thrown at it. This system is a must buy but keep in mind it is a true desktop replacement.
I love it
(5 out of 5) by Tom S on May 30, 2004 (Syracuse, NY USA)This laptop has been traveling with me in my tractor trailer for a while now and is everything that I expected if not more. It offers an amazing 17" wide screen and a full numeric keypad. These two items set this laptop into a field of its own. It is heavier than many others, but worth every pound. If you a looking for an ultra-portable this is not the system, but if you want a desktop replacement you have found the one.
The software package with this system is just standard, nothing fancy or spectacular. However, everything that was loaded has worked and it has not crashed once yet. HP designed this system for someone who needs a fully functional computer that can move with them as necessary. They succeeded.

Piece of Junk
(1 out of 5) by S. Holmes on Aug 31, 2004 (Gainesville, FL)After about a week of using this computer the entire system lost power. It did it again after two months (two day ago) several times in a row. HP tech support states that I am using too much RAM and this is normal. That is a bunch of bull. Using too much RAM should require your computer to access the hard drive and run slow, not lose power and shutdown. Today the adapter has failed and they stated that they would call me back in a few days. Don't buy this computer. In fact stay away from HP.

HYPER-SNAIL
(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Mar 27, 2004I have owned it for a week and it's slower then my old P2 400mhz desktop,I was led to believe it has the 3.00ghz hyper-threading P4 but you dont mention it above??, the touchpad is impossible to control and the buttons are poorly positioned to click, I keep hunting above and below the dang thing, I have tried all the settings and reloaded the drivers but it quickly goes back to slow and erratic, its going back to not-so best buy for my ... refund what a rip for a piece of junk.
P.S. my old system is an HP Pavilion 7160Z that i changed boards to msi-6163 so I am very familiar with HP after 5yrs with one, should have learned the first time and built my own
