I got this laptop in December. Its a nice big screen and lovely (dare i say mac-style) keyboard, which is great for not getting crumbs in which i destroyed my last laptop with.
The battery life has been..ok, but has recently started dying down to about 45 mins at full charge. Which is annoying, to say the least.
The fan is LOUD AS HELL, all the time, and if you touch it you will burn your hand 75% of the time. There are a couple of sockets over the fan, which heat up and burn as well. The speakers are awful, especially for a 'entertainment laptop'. The graphics card is decent, I'll give it that, but if theres more than two people watching a film on it, you can't hear anything. Nobody in the room can talk while it's playing anything. So annoying.
Hp always have problems with the same few things. I ashamedly fell for buying this laptop regardless. Sigh.
