subjects refer and you can conclude from that. However form the reseach and from my past dv6 & probooks exp, i can conclude that, this laptop is at least powerful, while its elegance is unmatched. It features an Intel Core i7-820QM quad core processor running at a frequency of 1.73 GHz and 1333 MHz FSB. 3 GB DDR3 memory (2 Dimm) offer a boost of performance. The SATA hard drive works at 7200 rpm and offers 320 GB of storage space. You also get the HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection. If you are a gamer, the 1GB Nvidia GeForce GT 230M will surely impress you. It runs all the latest games (most of).

major downgrades >>>
- standard 6-cell Lithium-Ion batter offers just 4 hours of battery life.
- sound is below expectations and it tends to loose quality at high volume.
- webcam is also below our expectations

It's powerful laptop but rating will goes 4.2 out of 5 stars.
