yes, its an HP
kidding my over all opinion of HP's isn't very good because the one im using is a hunk of crap. the only major issue ive seen is lots of HDD failures. and a few GPU failures. but over all they run fine. just make sure you get the warranty.
-
damn i cant decide which i should get because the desktop im getting is way better than the laptop and cheaper while i want someing thats portable so i dont know whcich to decide? :dntknw:
-
my friend has this and took a crap on it, trust my opinion dont get it, it looks good, yet feels like a loosened hunk of plastic. build a computer with mino-atx case and its portable, and way cheaper.

if u want one of those get the first one, lenovo makes decent pc's and they are upgradable, the gateway will die on u(once again personal experience) the only thing is the processor speed is low but that is always changeable, lenovo is great
