I love this laptop. The num pad is a welcome addition! I play WOW on it frequently and it has enough power and RAM to handle that with no issues so if you want to use it for gaming, game on! I am not a big Vista fan but this is the best perfomance I have gotten from a computer running Vista thus far. I figured I would be wiping it out and replacing it with XP but it's working so well I've decided to leave it with the Vista 64-bit that comes preloaded. I did go in and delete the "bloatware" that comes pre-installed after I made a complete backup before I even used the system. The finger print reader is PERFECT! It makes signing into the computer and anywhere I want and/or need to have a password to access. The graphics and sound are impressive for a laptop as well. Overall, it's the perfect laptop in size, performance, and price!!! I would not hesitate to buy another HP.
The reasons I didn't give it 5 stars are: It's a power hog, it would have been so much better had HP made the stock battery the extended battery as they did with my last laptop. The laptop runs hot after it's been on an extended amount of time so I do recommend purchasing a chill pad with USB fan to keep it from overheating. Mine overheated so bad after being on for several hours of gaming (12+ hours) that the system crashed stating it couldn't find the hard drive, turned it off for a little while and it worked like a champ again. Lastly, the screen does not work well in bright light so if you're looking to use it outside a lot, you're going to have trouble reading the screen but you could always add a filter to correct this.Get more detail about HP Pavilion HDX18-1180US 18.4-Inch Laptop.
