This laptop is a great piece of gear. The 802.11 B,G,N wireless picks up my linksys G router at the opposite end of the house and up one floor as the strongest possible signal. The unit it replaced couldn't connect at all unless I held my mouth just right. I have no trouble printing wirelessly to either my Brother laser printer or Epson all-in-one inkjet after installing the right drivers. Both printers are attached to a 32-bit Vista desktop that's hooked directly to the wireless router and shared. HP gives excellent phone support. I was on the phone to them when we discovered the HDMI hookup problem mentioned in Cons. The tech support phone rep worked with me for almost an hour, and he did a very good job.

Decent Video Card, processor and overall great specs
Nice Crisp Screen, 14.1" Widescreen with 1280 x 800 resolution
Small and fairly lightweight
Looks good and the finish doesn't show off fingerprints
Nifty little extra was the remote that came with it. I have yet to use it though, but it stores easily in the side of the laptop.
I was on a budget to find a laptop for classwork. I really only needed something relatively cheap, but wanted to spend that extra bit to find not so much a desktop replacement, but something that would easily serve as my computer while I'm away from home for long periods of time. The vid card is designed for entertainment media. It runs most of the games I installed on medium settings just fine. I haven't had any trouble with any of the drivers for any feature included. With 4 gigs of RAM I haven't had any problems with Vista either.
Overall a very solid little laptop for the $600 price tag I paid for it ($550 once the mail in rebate arrives). I doubt I could get much better in the way of pre-made laptops for that same amount of money.
