I'm sure you guys remember back when I purchased my Asus lappy with the i5 CPU in it. It was a great lappy however the GPU was a little lacking. It's too bad I can't build a lappy like I build my desktops. Well my old HP lappy is on it's last leg, the disk drive (CD/DVD) was dead and won't open and the computer is just slow. So I talked to the wife and her and I decided it was time for a new lappy.
We headed to BestBuy and started looking around. I found 3 that I liked, but in the end the HP Pavillion DV7 won out. It has an i7 CPU, 8GB of memory on a 64 bit OS And a decent graphics card. I'm hoping with this one it will do what I want it to do. It's a 17" screen running 1600x900 and has a full 10 key on the right. It is a multi touch mouse pad but I think I can get used to it.
Unlike my last one that was silver as well as my old HP, this one is black. I wish it had a back lit keyboard, but I think I will live lol. I have only had it for a few hours but I will see what I can learn about it in the coming weeks. I'm really hoping it will run my video editing software so I can get some work done at work lol.
Here is the link to the computer.
