at a price tag of
$1,600(P70,000) this is more of a DTR(Desktop Replacement) rather than a laptop(imagine 15.3 lbs on your lap that has heat output) and specwise is GAMING READY, since I travel Manila-California being able to carry my entire system is a hell of a lot better than have 2 system on both ends
Pros:
-runs way cooler with a 45nm Penryn class cpu and consumes LESS power than your desktop
-more portable than an entire desktop but has as much power, imagine lugging your CPU tower + a 20" lcd not forgetting your mouse and keyboard
-High definition entertainment with Bluray built in with HD 720p widescreen with HDMI ooutput
-Gaming centric Vidcard with dedicated 512mb GDDR3 memory
-4gb DDR2 800mhz Ram that jacks up system and video performance as needed
-4 Altec lansing speakers and subwoofer with 7.1 optical out
-TV tuner with remote for Windows media center
Cons:
-entry level 45nm Penryn CPU(though there is still a much slower penryn that came out)
-not as good as the FULL 1080p HD version
-less portable than a laptop
-limited choices of travel bags/cases
-weight weight weight
when configured at HP.com same exact specs go up for $2300
