HP Pavilion dv7-1270us Laptop User Review:

Pros:

• Great spec’s for the price. FSB at 1066 MHz, Blu-ray, 4GB RAM. Fast Boot-up (once you delete all the preloaded junk). Unlike the other reviewers, I actually really like the color. Lots of USB ports. This laptop does not get hot after hours of use.
• I used the blu-ray once and it worked fine. I think I would enjoy it more when I hook it up to an HDTV. I’ve watched iTunes videos on it and hooked it up to my larger HP monitor. It works just as well. I truly don’t have any issues with it and I’m very pleased.
• The screen is beautiful and ample. Colors are well defined and properly saturated. The nVidia 9600GT might not be able to play Crysis maxxed out, but it surely runs my favorite games in high with no overheating whatsoever. CPU (Perynn) with 1066Mhz FSB is (are) very snappy and and perform very well.
• Real nice laptop. Owned a decent laptop prior to this one, but it doesn’t even compare to what this one has. All the controls are real responsive, nice quiet keyboard, and no dead pixels on the screen.

Cons:

• 5400RPM hard drive, still acceptable for me.
• Finger print magnet.
• Power jack is in a bad place, could use Right angle plug in instead.
• Bluetooth and Wifi switch both in one touch button, you cant use one or the other.
• The keyboards are hard to see especially with low light, especially numbers, a serious hassle.

HP Pavilion dv7-1270us Laptop Other Thoughts:

• All in all it’s a great buy & you will not be sorry. Seriously folks, I can’t think of any reason why this wouldn’t be a perfect desktop replacement even at retail price.
• Gamers, you won’t be disappointed! The Altec Lansing sound system with the 3D subwoofer and SRS premium sound is crystal clear at any volume! HP, you got something here! GRATS!
• No operating system CD’s come with the package. There is a "Recovery" partition that contains about 12 GB of stuff (not 100% sure what exactly is on there)
• The laptop comes preloaded with a ton of junk and is heavily integrated with Windows Live stuff. Messenger, Live toolbar, etc. It comes with a trial of Norton Internet Security and a trial of Office 2007. My advice: Get Norton off the computer ASAP and install another anti-virus product.
