Recently, I was graced with a HP DV7T laptop.  To start off, here are the specs,

• Net Price: $887.18
• 17.0″ diagonal WXGA+ High Def BrightView Widescreen Display
• 4GB DDR2 RAM
• Intel Graphics media Accelerator 4500MD
• 250GB Sata HDD
• Webcam
• Fingerprint Reader
• Integrated 56k Modem
• Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N Mini-card
• 6 Cell Lithium Ion Battery
• SuperMulti 8X DVD+/-R/RW with Double Layer Support
• Vista Home 64bit

With that covered, I’d like to say that I was quite pleased when I received the laptop.  Not only was the computer slick with the black glassy exterior but it had a catchy interior with a light up display that allowed me to control my media center by touch.  It also had a neat light up display on the back (Letters HP light up).
