Almost Perfect
When I decided to purchase a new laptop computer, I did a lot of research. I wanted a unit that would be fast at loading screens and downloading data, but I also wanted to use my unit as a TV. Well, I got what asked for in the HDX. Its an entertainer lovers dream computer. Incredible sound for a laptop...no need for external speakers. The 64 bit dual processors make it MUCH faster than my desktop machine. Yes, it IS heavy and I agree a handle on it would have been a nice feature, but I dont move it out of the house much. I wish the battery life was longer but I knew that drawback when I purchased it. I just leave it plugged in most of the time. But its SO cool that I can watch HDTV with the built in tuner. I do wish the antennae cord was longer though.
The only real problem I am having with the unit is when I use Windows Messinger. The built in cam is dedicated to 2 programs on the computer...Windows Messinger and something called Quick Play (which I never use). When I try to make a video call on WM, I consistantly get an error that says my camera is already in use in another program, which it isnt, This is a frustrating development, as one of the reasons I wanted the laptop was so I could have mobile video communication with my brother overseas. It works about 2 times in 10, which is not acceptable. I know my problem is not unique....I have done some research online and others have had a similar problem. And the problem seems to be not with the computer, but with Vista. If this is true (and I am hoping it is) perhaps there will be future driver fixes for the cam. But at the moment, I am SOL.
However, having said the above, I LOVE my HP! It just a great machine and I dont have that many Vista compatibility issues since I use my peripherals with my desktop machine. I know none of them would work with Vista, so I do my printing and scanning and other such things on the desktop pc. Its only a minor inconvenience....I can live with it. So I wouldnt replace a desktop machine with this unit unless you have a back up computer with XP or plan on replacing your peripherals with new, Vista compatable ones. MS will get the bugs worked out, eventually, so I am not concerned. Its your call. But I recommend this machine :)
Incredible
This computer is simply incredible for HD DVD - We watched Blade Runner on here and it was more than the 5k HD system for this. You felt the theatre experience.
Incredible enough to go purchase 13 HD DVD's -
Everything is just incredible on this machine - I really would like a standard keyboard without the smaller right shift key.
I decided to keep this unit as it is worth it - A powerhouse and a most incredible almost instant 64-bit Internet Explorer.
People were screaming seeing this machine show what high performance HD all in one solution should be as it is showing a stronger experience than the Blu-Ray.
Magical is all I can say. Office is lightning fast on here. I upgraded to 4Gig of Kensington through Amazon and it is getting better and better.
I enjoy using this on my lap would like a cush - Also with a stand with a wireless mouse/keyboard. This system is that good.
Remote brings replace HD TV/DVD with all that is personal hit right on target.
This is a good example of why HD DVD could win the DVD format war and shows why it is only natural to have the HD in front of the DVD logo. This shows for quality, technology of HD DVD as being like the definition and not a purchase to the company to use a format for their media as HD DVD shows by being HD is what this is about.
I only can hope the HD movie theatres will be this good. We deserve this.
I would like a HD DVD/Blu-Ray combo so I can see all the media. Doing the comparison in quality the HD DVD is more - Let's hope partnerships will appear to the combo players will be standard. As HD should not restrict people from having one or the other-
Twister is coming as that was a MUST pre-order. HD DVD shows a greet example why purchasing a DVD is so special again and to not support piracy. You get so much more.
Go pick out your HD DVD, make some popcorn with a loved one for an magical experience you can live over and over again.
Along with a HD TV tuner / recorder - Very user friendly for interaction.
If Warner and the other studios would have seen this display of what innovation would bring to their media with HD DVD. This format would be the one with no price tag for the media to be one can compare to.
For PC production/games - Like a space shuttle of innovations lifting you to new places others/competitors have tried to take us.
Enjoy. This is worth the money and then some.
With this being said this is a H(appy) D(ay for) DVD.
It's a great machine but has one major cosmetic flaw.
I'm happy that HP is finally blazing the trail--and beating Apple to the punch--by offering a 20" laptop, but there is a major cosmetic issue with this unit: The thick bezel that goes all around the screen is warped right out of the box! I mean it is warped every inch or two. This is not a defective unit I have; I even went to Office Depot and saw one in the store and the same thing. It is a design flaw. They used a really thin and/or flexible plastic for the frame, and it has a softness almost like patent leather shoes. It looks nice and feels nice but unfortunately it flexes liker patent leather shoes, too. It being shiny black all of the ripples and warps reflect light in a wavy pattern so you can see this defect from 20 feet away. It's really a glaring defect on their part. I paid $3K for laptop with a warped bezel right out of the box? I am also not a huge fan of the screen arm. I think they could have gotten away with 2 really strong hinges or 3 or 4 hinges. There is no need for the arm. The arm looks OK when the screen is up but when it is down it looks horrid. So really mechanically this is a great unit it's the cosmetics I don't like. Hopefully they will come out with a better revision or hopefully Apple will follow suit with a 20" laptop. There is a market for 20" laptops in my opinion.
