This Laptops give to us some advantages, like this :
1. 4.5 stars, but a very nice laptop
All in all, we are very pleased with this laptop. My wife's vision is getting a little worse as she is getting older and is buying reading glasses in order to see clearly. However, this laptop features red backlit keys that are so easy to read that she has no need for them while working on Girl Scouts, etc.

All of the computer specs are clearly labeled in the product description above (i5 processor, 500 GB hard drive, etc.), so all that's really left to discuss is how well this laptop operates. In a word, fast. Even for my Alienware i7 quad core, this laptop takes its run for the money to startup and shut down VERY quickly and that is after some fairly heavy browsing, installation of Microsoft Office 2010, a formal installation of Norton Internet Security 2012, etc. With all the little, obsequious add-ons that proliferate just about every web page these days, this laptop takes it all in stride and works quite well. Even with the 5400 rpm drive (a disappointment, but...

2. Very pleased for the most part - until THIS!
I have had my Beats Edition HP for about six months now. For the most part I have been very pleased with it. It's a nice compromise between thinner, newer 'Ultrabook' style computers and the older behemoths that are still around.

Pros:
The backlit keyboard is great and a must since everything is black.
Better than average audio without external speakers.
Having a built in optical drive.
Cosmetics - it's unique looking.
Low to non existent fan noise - very much appreciated.
Fast boot up and decent battery life.

Cons:
Had to have my touchpad replaced under warranty.
Should have been designed with a fixed optical drive. Opening the tray is a hassle.
Easily Shows fingerpints from handling.
Hinges on case seem a little flimsy and you worry if they will last.
Wish it was a little thinner and a little lighter.
Battery life is really closer to about 4 hours than what is claimed.
