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.
