    Thoose look really nice actually and I like them much better than recent HP designs where they seemed to overkill the gloss. Only thing I have to say is I dont like the 16:9 wide screen. On a 13" screen that feels like no vertical work room.

    I would have gotten this had it been out a few months ago. I love the new design. I got the DV4T instead, which I think is a little bit too wide. My old 14" Dell is much much smaller, then again, it is much much slower.

    Cheers,

    ^ racist! lol

    Ill stick with the dv4t. looks exactly the same but a little bigger screen plus its a 16:10 insted of 16:9. I swear anything under 15" shouldnt be 16:9 it just looks stupid.

    Looks sharp and able to do some gaming, hopefully the price is reasonable.
