By 

Dino, My goal was to find a PC that is equivalent or better compared to the internal parts of a MacBook Pro i5 2nd Gen, and this was the only computer I was able to snatch up during sale for $499 with such components, and in many cases better components. I wasn't expecting to be blown away, but I have been pleasantly surprised with this laptop.

First of all, it looks great. The glowing HP logo is reminiscent of the glowing Apple logo, and the brushed metal-type backing just makes it look that much better. The keyboard and the surroundings are very clean, no additional unnecessary buttons and the keyboard is solid and easy to type on. The trackpad has multifinger functionality for scrolling, pinching and rotating. At first, the trackpad was hard to scroll on as my fingers did not glide, but eventually it broke in and it was easier.

In terms of previous reviews saying that the software is terrible, that must be an exception. This was a rare time for me to find a laptop with such little bloatware -- just Office and some HP games at most. Usually I do a clean install of Windows when I buy a new computer, but with this one, it was unnecessary. The i5 processor is very speedy, does not heat up a lot, and the fan is relatively quiet. The battery is also decent, going around 5-6 hours on regular use.

Overall, I think this is a great purchase for someone who would like a decent sturdy laptop for an affordable price and would enjoy telling their MacBook Pro friends how they paid $1000 less for a PC with better components :)
