Hewlett-Packard Pavilion Notebook with Itel Centrino Duo mobile technology

I'm getting a laptop for college and I do not want to suffer screen size wise by going with a 15 inch. I really enjoy having the number pad on the side (dont ask me). So, going with a 17 inch laptop. I'm really wanting to have a desktop replacement and still beable to move it around, even if it weights 7.7lbs. I'm going to school for architecture as well and I have to run Autocad, architectural autodesk, and 3ds max. So 3d rendering is important...

Is this good for the price, and has anyone reported any problems with this laptop?
