The hinge has also broken and HP tells me that it came with a faulty webcam. At the time, this was around $5 or $6k I believe. Anyway, I'm not saying this because I don't appreciate the laptop, I'm just saying that it's disappointing to say the least because they built up so much hype. Anyway, even if it is broken, it still runs - has some OS issues too. I still couldn't do what I do today without it so I can't really say it's a bad machine. I dunno.. Please don't take this as me being unappreciative, because I really am appreciative, it's just that they built up so much hype just to have it brake on me 4 times (hinge + above the webcam) within the first few months of use. PS: The breaks above the webcam are unrelated to the faulty webcam.

My goal was "I want the fastest laptop you have". 12 lbs. later, I have one. It is worth a boat anchor and my 1st gen MBA is faster, with OS X. Sorry, but if I spend that amount of money, I would expect to get more than a couple of years out of it. I spent $2,200 on a 17″ HP laptop at Microcenter 2 years ago.

Even the Microsoft Mouse does." The first microsoft keyboard I got broke (actually, my sisters) and the second microsoft keyboard and mouse I got was horrible, I couldn't type on an angle due to it's design, as in, the buttons had to be hit directly from above. This wasn't cheap either, defiantly worth the extra cash to get a Logitech - IMHO. Just sharing my experience, that's all. "If you want cheap - download Linux - use a free OS." Who said that you have to pay money to have a good operating system? Ubuntu is pretty damn good! “Quality always costs more. Even the Microsoft Mouse does.”
