This laptop is perfect, it handles everything without any problems. there is no back-lit keyboard on this model(j020us), but if that's what you need then i don't recommend it. the screen size is perfect for watching movies/videos. Windows 8 is honestly not even as bad as people make it seem. it took me about 20 minutes to figure out everything. the only bad thing is the 5400rpm hdd, which isnt a super big deal. the laptop boots pretty quick and the battery life isn't terrible, but what do you expect out of a 17.3-inch screen with 1600x900 pixels and a beast processor. the sound on this laptop is pretty good the beats audio is alright, you can definitely hear the base. there is bluetooth on this model. its build quality is pretty nice it doesn't feel super cheap but its nowhere near Apple quality. it doesn't seem to run too hot it stays around 40-50 degrees when running most applications which is decent. browsing the web it gets around mid 30s to low 40s. I bought a 2 year warranty from Square Trade and its way better than paying for an HP warranty, so for people complaining its pointless never buy a warranty from the company that makes the product as they will take their sweet time. Overall this is a pretty good laptop that will handle just about any application you throw at it. I wouldn't recommend it for gaming as the GPU is pretty weak, so if you're a gamer on a budget I'd recommend the Lenovo y410p which has been on sale for quite some time and the specs are more gamer oriented, but it will take them forever to ship it.

Fast but great battery life for day-to-day tasks. Only gripe is the slow 5400x HDD, but I understand what I was getting from the start, so I can't complain.

This item came quickly, set up quickly, and I was using it right away. Windows 8 was a little confusing at first, but that would be the only (small) complaint.

Seems to work well enough..some setup issues, and on line support didn't seem to be very knowledgeable about the product. Works well now, though.

We've had this notebook just a couple weeks. Setup was easy. It boots up fast, but login is disappointingly slow. It came with Windows 8 and the upgrade to 8.1 is now available for free. We haven't done the upgrade yet, but plan to do so. We understand there is an option in 8.1 to boot to the desktop and a start menu, which will resolve most of the issues we have with Windows 8.

Like another reviewer remarked, the edge of the notebook is tapered and isn't as thick as a network (RJ-45) jack. I don't find it an issue when plugging a network cable in, but it can be darn near impossible to get it out. Good thing the WiFi works great.

HP's touchpad is very "touchy", plus the buttons are integrated into the pad. We are using a mouse with it.

The size of the screen is great until you take it on the road. It's nearly impossible to use on a plane. It's heavy, although not nearly as heavy as another HP 17.3" we have that has the bigger, longer-life battery. We call that one the "aircraft carrier".
