Too pricey for what is being offered.

Lack of warranty and the other cons make this one not worth the price point.

We're disappointed that no HD-DVD-RW was included, but if there's no media what's the point? The new look is nice and the other enhancements make this notebook a better choice than its predecessors. We'd certainly recommend this model over the previous G30's, even though its performance hasn't really improved.

There's a definite premium for all of this desktop functionality in a portable, notebook style machine. However, if you're willing to spend the money and need a less fixed computing solution, the HP Pavilion HDX9003TX is a great choice.
