      I replaced the hard drive with a Crucial M4 SSD (both the ssd and laptop came from bhphotovideo in 2 days, very fast shipping). Doing a fresh Windows install without the HP bloatware and on a SSD makes this thing unbelievably fast, it boots right away, programs load instantly and I can't make any complaints. I record music and the DPC latency is pretty decent, plenty of ram and the cpu is as good as you can ask for at the time of this writing.

        This notebook is for personal use. It screams with speed and the HD display is just plain awesome. What's not so great is it is HUGE. But that is why I bought it! I want HD graphics and easy read text. I'm older and my eyes need big and beautiful. This is it!

        I'm new to Windows 7 but it appears to be a very good operating system. I don't like not being able to backup to a network drive. That is a Windows 7 Home Premium issue.

        I've have great luck with HP laptops/notebooks. Long life with no issues.

          Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv7-6c80us 17.3" Notebook Computer (Dark Umber):

          I'm an aging baby boomer who generally has an adversarial relationship with computers, and my entire knowledge of computer technology consists of the internet and Photoshop. In other words, don't think I'm a qualified computer reviewer. Nevertheless, when my desktop began showing signs of entering the end of life phase, I decided to try to find a laptop that could both travel with me and do all the Photoshop work I need. This one seems to be fine. It's fast, runs Photoshop well, and the keyboard isn't as awful as other laptops I'd tried. For tiny built-in speakers the sound system is more than adequate. I know there are more expensive models with higher-resolution screens available, but this 17" screen looks outstandingly sharp to me. I even plugged the monitor from my late desktop into this computer, and I can have my Photoshop palettes and my email on the second monitor, just like real computer people do.

            This is a great laptop for 'entertainment' and general use if you aren't too worried about the graphics. I mistakenly purchased one, thinking the graphics could be upgraded. Alas! No video slot or any way to upgrade. The integrated on board graphics is an old version and probably at the bottom of the barrel.
            I couldn't exchange the unit due to freight costs Still for home use it's a reasonable laptop for the price. Now I know why its labled 'entertainment' laptop.

                Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv7-6c80us 17.3" Notebook Computer (Dark Umber):

                This notebook is for personal use. It screams with speed and the HD display is just plain awesome. What's not so great is it is HUGE. But that is why I bought it! I want HD graphics and easy read text. I'm older and my eyes need big and beautiful. This is it!

                I'm new to Windows 7 but it appears to be a very good operating system. I don't like not being able to backup to a network drive. That is a Windows 7 Home Premium issue.

                I've have great luck with HP laptops/notebooks. Long life with no issues.

                  I'm an aging baby boomer who generally has an adversarial relationship with computers, and my entire knowledge of computer technology consists of the internet and Photoshop. In other words, don't think I'm a qualified computer reviewer. Nevertheless, when my desktop began showing signs of entering the end of life phase, I decided to try to find a laptop that could both travel with me and do all the Photoshop work I need. This one seems to be fine. It's fast, runs Photoshop well, and the keyboard isn't as awful as other laptops I'd tried. For tiny built-in speakers the sound system is more than adequate. I know there are more expensive models with higher-resolution screens available, but this 17" screen looks outstandingly sharp to me. I even plugged the monitor from my late desktop into this computer, and I can have my Photoshop palettes and my email on the second monitor, just like real computer people do.

                    This is a great laptop for 'entertainment' and general use if you aren't too worried about the graphics. I mistakenly purchased one, thinking the graphics could be upgraded. Alas! No video slot or any way to upgrade. The integrated on board graphics is an old version and probably at the bottom of the barrel.
                    I couldn't exchange the unit due to freight costs Still for home use it's a reasonable laptop for the price. Now I know why its labled 'entertainment' laptop.
