    I bought the HP 8510p for roughly $1400. I love the feel and appearance of this laptop - it's solid, has a durable feel to it, and yet it's suprisingly light. The first time that I ran a game on this laptop, a problem with the gpu occured. The screen was jagged and I could tell that it was a hardware issue. I went to HP's online support website, ran an online diagnostic, and they determined that I would have to ship it in. HP sent a box that arrived quickly (last Fri, the 22nd). I shipped the system and received it back earlier today (Mon, 25). I've installed the same game that exploited the problem (Warcraft 3) and it ran smoothly, in fact it runs it better than my desktop! This is a great system for anyone who wants a laptop that looks professional, but also wants a little gaming power. I love this system, I would buy it again (even if I knew it was going to have a problem) and the warranty that came with it is a lifesaver (3 years!)

    Thank you,
    Jason
