@xFightingFalcon really? damn. I though because they make the same model with the i7 in it it would work. does this mean there are two different mobos for the same model?
im going to wait for windows 8 than upgrade the ram to 8gb, slap a second 500gb hard drive in it and she'll be golden. if not im going to upgrade her to an i7 but hopefully i won't have to. all the reviews on my model seem pretty good as for games i play minecraft lol so yeah graphics aren't gonna be a problem.
mine is nice. About a year old now got for christmas in 2010. So yeh. I use a regular mouse. I hate the mouse pad thingy. Not use to it. I like mine as well, because it comes with a BluRay player so I can watch movies 10 times beter then on TV! So yeah. It is nice.
@mabhekaphansi I' watch for same moddel. So You are desapointed about this ? The one I see in offer , its HPDV7-6199SL Intel Core i7-2670QM/2.2 Ghz - RAM 8 GB Hard disk 640 GB SATA AMD Radeon HD 6770M/2 GB . Your it's same model ?
I stupidly bought a HP DV7 Pavilion, win 7 professional; biggest load of rubbish EVER produced! Bluescreens and crashes daily. Only works reasonably if I use linux.
