Great build quality


I like my laptops to have good build quality: nice keyboards with good "travel" when you press the keys and a good "click" feel so you can type in the dark. I like the two separate mouse buttons instead of the single button where you can click each side or the (terrible) trackpad with no physical buttons at all. The keyboard light is really handy, and I find myself loving the features like the fingerprint reader which I didn't think I would ever use.One suprising thing that I like is that the mouse buttons are made of plastic and not aluminum like the rest of the body. This is nice because they have a textured and soft feel. The aluminum body seems to keep the machine quite cool even when I'm running a really cpu and disk intensive task.I bought an extra 4GB DIMM to install and I was pleasantly suprised to see that the body opens up quite easily just by unlocking a few latches while still feeling like a quite solid build. It appears that the designers made a concerted effort to make all of the parts of the machine easily serviceable.When I buy a machine, the first thing I usually do is repartition/reformat the HDD and reinstall Windows clean. But there wasn't really any need to do that with with this PC. Usually there is a ton of junkware installed but I found that all of the preinstalled software was quite nice and useful. It didn't seem to impose any tax on my machine in the background either. I did wind-up using the included recovery media to reinstall, though, because I didn't like the way the HDD was partitioned and the partitions couldn't be resized to suit me. It was a breeze to reinstall of the preinstalled software and get it right back to the factory state which was really nice (a welcomed change from most PCs).I have only seen two minor drawbacks:1. There is no hardware volume control. Most HPs have hardware volume controls but this one only has a mute button. It is extra fustrating to me because the mute is indicated by a red/green LED and I (like a lot of men) am red/green colorblind so it's pretty much useless. Most HPs have a blue LED that is easier to see.

2. The "function" keys (f1, f2, f3, etc) are evenly spaced on the keyboard without any tactile indicators of which ones are which. Most laptops have a subtle spacing between the f4 and f5 and f8 and f9 keys that you can feel when you type so that you can easily find the right key without looking. You probably don't realize the suble space until it isn't there and then you find that you have to stop typing at look at your keyboard to figure-out which function key you are hitting. I am considering putting some sort of sticker or something on the f5 and f9 keys so that I can use them without looking like normal.
