I found this laptop at a TigerDirect retail store for $650, same exact specs. Boots up Windows fast, and also comes with Windows 8 OS discs (which i'm not using anytime soon!). Keys are soft-touch, but PF keys are a little more to the left than I am used to.I'm sure i'll get used to this.

The touchpad is a bit iffy though. sometimes moving the pointer is not as responsive as my old laptop, and most of the time to 'click' on something (especially to close out a screen), i have to use the left touchscreen button. Moving to the 'red X' and thumping the touchpad, even twice, will often not 'click' the X. however, i've gotten used to this quickly.

I am an old mainframer and not a laptop guru, especially when it comes to software installation, networking, etc. At my office, we have 'people' for that. But I've had no trouble setting up my wireless network, installing the security software, and other tasks which permit me to log into my workplace network.

I had a 10 yr. old HP with Windows XP. It is just wonderful to have Windows 7. The machine is a powerhouse for me. I am not that knowledgeable about computers and was afraid I would have problems setting it up. It was a breeze. It is so quick. It WOWS me. The touch pad is so so. I bought a wireless mouse and I am very happy now. I highly recommend this product. I am so happy I made this purchase.

I have an 11 yr old with special needs. He uses his elbows and as such can't use a touchscreen electronic. He used to have a WinXP desktop that WinXP support ends next year and needs a new OS. So this Hewlett Packard computer with Windows 7 was great. I got him this in place of Windows 8 which he can't use his programs on. Great laptop

I have a 17.3" HP laptop and should have stopped there. I have had so much frustration from my first computer, in fact, I had decided to replace it. I spotted the Pro Book with 8GB of RAM and wondered whether I should give HP another chance. Wow, this one is a piece of crap. It worked long enough for me to load all my data and pictures and then quit on the second day. Nothing. It quit. The 17" crashed and I tried to back up my data. Nothing saved. No more chances for HP laptops.

The computer runs great after I took all the HP security tools off. They were not compatible with recognizing my printer and running my real estate programs. Wish they would not be automatically installed. Things are running smoothly now with a great picture. Hate the tiny delete button though. It is in a hard to find position and should be larger.
