    WOW those are some eye popping numbers, I am spending a lot of time shopping for a new laptop. That pavilion sound really nice. Best of luck with it. Did you get full HD screen, is the KB excellent + is it backlit? I was ready to get a Dell precision ( and still may) but now you have given me another candidate! NICE
