HP Pavilion dv7-2170us
$1,375.00
Released June, 2009
The Pros:Can run video games smoothly with some at higher settings. Applications open very quickly and stay quick and responsive. Integrated mic is sensitive and makes VOIP calls clear.
The Cons:Battery won't last much longer than an hour. Feels very heavy and cumbersome to carry around. Comes with plenty of bloatware that needs uninstalling to get the most out of the system.
