I'm a web developer who's stuck in bed due to a lower back injury. Since it looks like my recovery is going to be very long, I was searching for a fast laptop that's not too big and not too small, and which would allow me to work efficiently. My wife helped me in my research and found this laptop sold by Eluktronics Inc. The configuration seemed different than on HP's website. After some research, we found out that Eluktronics Inc. is an official HP reseller, and they are specialized in customizing high performance laptops. We decided to order directly from their website (they use Amazon Pay which is convenient). Since I needed it very fast, we chose to update the shipping to two day shipping, and we sent them an email asking if they could expedite the shipping (keep in mind that we ordered on a Sunday afternoon). They responded within minutes letting us know that the laptop will be shipped Monday morning. We received the laptop Wednesday. So two thumbs up for fast communication and for keeping their promise.
I've been using this laptop for about a week now. Here are the pros so far:
Speed: It is blazing fast. I do a lot of multitasking and the laptop handles it very smoothly. I love the fact that I have a 240Gb SSD as primary hard drive (I repeat, 240Gb SSD, it's not a typo!), and 1Tb of space for my data.
Screen: The 15.1 inch screen is great. I love the 10 fingers touchscreen which is very responsive.
Keyboard: It has a numpad, is back lit and the keys feel great.
Audio: The speakers (Beats audio) sound fantastic.
Weight: Not too light but not to heavy. The laptop is pretty thin too.
Touchpad: I'm not a big fan of laptop's touch pad, but let me tell you that this is the best touch pad I have ever used. It is also very customizable. It has swipe features too (so you can swipe like you would on the touch screen).
Gaming: I haven't played any games yet, but I'm sure this laptop can handle gaming very well. Note that the 2GB memory on the video card are dedicated (which means that the video card memory isn't shared with the laptop's 16Gb of memory).
Bottom line: If you are searching for a fast laptop and you can afford it, this is the one.

Beware, I noticed that the HP website lists an optional 24GB SSD for this computer, not a 240GB SSD. They call it a "Hard Drive Acceleration Cache". If you want to buy this computer make sure you verify that it actually has a 240GB SSD, I suspect that it does not.
