I actually bought this model [a few weeks ago] w/ the I-3 Core Intel processor at Best Buy [online] for $499 w/ free shipping. I'm a IT/Network/Computer professional so I knew that the difference between the I-3 and I-5 processor is not all that great, and just boosting the RAM up to 8Gb [on this laptop] gives you plenty of operational efficiency and speed. Also the 7200 rpm hard drive gives much faster data transfer than the [standard] 5400 rpm found on most laptops, so [with the HP 4540-S] the extra cost of the I-5 is a waste of money AND if you're going to "step up" you should really go to the I-7 processor.

The features on this laptop are very good and the authentication/security software is excellent. I especially like the efficiency, speed and added security of the facial recognition and fingerprint authentication, which is uncommon for a laptop in this price range. I will also point out that most of the "problems" people have talked about here with the 4540-S are very easy and fast to fix by those with a reasonable knowledge of computers/software/hardware/protocols, but most people have minimal [troubleshooting/resolution] skills [and] "bite the dust" when confronted with the simplest difficulty.

NOTE; This particular item has the 5400 rpm hard drive, so find one with the 7200 rpm HD

So all you need to do is add 4Gb more of RAM [$40] and you're good to go with this laptop.

After my beloved $300 toshiba satellite died I spent weeks researching windows 7 laptops and ended up with this computer. It seems well made and has some good features. Processor is pretty fast as well. This problem is with the mousepad. This is by far the worse Iv'e ever encountered. Some of it may have to do with my skin? I say that because the pads that are really smooth and shiny like my toshiba had and the asus have work really well for me. This one sucks. Can't use it. It has no response to my fingers. Sometimes I have to hit it 7-10 times before it will click. I will move my finger all around and the cursor won't even move. I see why people over pay for macbooks.
