I've used a fair number of laptops. This one comes close to being the nicest one I've ever gotten my hands on. Let's see;1. Great video, both dedicated ATI and on-board Intel, depending on your need and power source. Watching BD's or full HD movie trailers and the like is an amazing experience.2. Very good audio.3. Great display - full HD, LED backlit. Nicest 17 inch display I've ever seen.4. Fast SandyBridge I7 mobile processor. 4 cores with HT. More then enough except for some gamers. Add a mouse and keyboard and you have a great desktop replacement (except for doing video imports which do better with a hardware based digitizer).5. 2 USB 3 ports (though I don't know which ones they are yet - none of the docs I've seen say which they are. Very odd.6. Good LAN - 1gbps. Works very well so far.7. Super quiet - it takes really pushing the unit hard to warm up the cores and get the fan's going (as confirmed by coretemp). And HP modified the case layout to not have most of the air suck up or down through the dirt prone bottom of the unit. HP also says essentially that this laptop is designed to avoid burning people's laps!So what's wrong? the WIFI.1. 2 antenna wires only. Wierd because my DV9933CL (turned in to HP under warranty) had 3.2. A really cheap, lousy wifi card - the Intel 1030. When I tested my 60mbps internet connection from Cablevision, I only got about 30. Between wifi card crashes (apparently a mobo problem), my old DV9933CL could handle the full 60mbps (with an actual connect speed to the router averaging 243mbps).I've read numerous complaints from other 1030 users who note that when BlueTooth is active, the wifi pretty much dies, though to tell the truth it barely functions with no BT turned on. Oddly, it does not use the 5ghz band, supposedly gets 300mbps down (in real life about a quarter of the download ability of the old Intel 4965AGN card), and is supposed to get 150 mbps up.Further research suggests that many DV6's and 7's with very low end wifi cards were shipped to many now very unhappy laptop owners. The official spec sheets don't tell you what wifi card is used and that it won't support 5ghz or the newer 450mbps routers.When some owners looked to swap out the card, they ran into the HP BIOS white lists. Mind you, the DV7 manual shows that the Intel Advanced N 6230 is on the list of available wifi cards; BUT people who have installed a stock 6320 bought on line find it won't work because HP requires one they've 'adjusted' to be accepted by the BIOS. If one uses the part number from the manual for the card, they apparently now get a completely different ralink card (fun surprise).As of Feb 8; HP shipped me one of their 6230's; as expected it did not work. I've asked them to update the bios to fix this since the 6230 was supposedly tested in DV7's as per Fed requirements. In the meantime, HP case management agreed to pay for my costs in buying an external Trendnet adapter which I have gotten and which overall works quite well (I am often running 450mpbs).I have raised my rating to 4 stars with the external wifi adapter in place, because with it the unit works very well. Just understand that without it the wifi is nearly useless. But with it this is one of the finest decently priced laptops on the market today!
