HP Forum Section Info - *PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE POSTING*

Welcome to the HP forum section at NotebookReview! If you're wondering where to start, you've come to the right place!

The HP forum section has grown tremendously over the past few years and since there is limited space for stickies, this thread will serve as the one-stop shop for the forum's most important threads. Stickied threads will still exist but will only be limited to the most popular ones.

Comments & suggestions are encouraged! Please PM me or any of the section moderators with suggestions that you might have.
