It looks very nice, my pictures don't do it justice.
Here are HP's pictures, they do a better job of showing the design.

I've always preferred HP's laptop's over most brands.
I quite like, xbox.

I'm generally not a fan of laptop designs, but that's a very cool one you've got, xbox.

$1,500 including a $200 rebate.
Ketchup is correct, it is a HDX18t.
They change around the specs on this laptop every few months, just to let you know if you see something you want on it now.
Its got Blu-ray, a fingerprint reader, Nvidea 9600m GT, and 1920x1080 resolution.
Fallout 3 stutters a bit on ultra and high settings but it still runs well.
It doesn't weigh much either (for its size).

Yeah it wasn't recommended when it reviewed my computer but I changed it anyway to see how it looks.

Hey xbox, want to do a little trade?

My laptop has an outdated ATi graphics card, a broken screen, almost a gig of ram, 1.9GHz, a slightly dented keyboard, a CD drive that pops out sometimes, a broken microphone jack (bent it while a mic was plugged in), 70 GB HDD..
Did I mention it has a 'Play CD without booting up windows' feature that I never use?

It still works :3 In fact, I'm posting on it right now.

2 monitors makes the best setup. Work on one side, procrastination on the other. Nothing better.

With a 17" screen, why use another monitor? Isn't that big enough?
