Due to convenience reasons, SHS will no longer be operating on this site! We are now located on facebook and are using discord for the chat. For information, our discord chat is here: https://discord.gg/84ue8Vv. It has been a pleasure meeting and serving everyone on this website, but if we wish to move on, we must start fresh in a new location. I hope everyone understands and we hope to see new and old faces. With all that is said and done, SHS is officially up and running again and we had our first tournament on 2/24/2017!! As discussed, we can still hold the 10 year anniversary party. - Thanks for you understanding! With love, Pijy

I dont have it yet but i hope it was a good buy as i got it with SHS in mind. I was very happy with my other HP computer so i decided to stick with them again. My lastl laptop as easy to take apart for upgades, and i enjoy the overall quality and design of HP. For you tech junkies, I will show the specs. Keep in mind that my budget was under $1000 so some things had to go. Otherwise, im very happy with my purchase.

With black friday discounts and the $50 2 day shipping fee with taxes and everything, i paid $986. It was right under my budget

PROS:

Windows 8.1
4th gen intel core i7 2.4 GHz (up to 3.4 GHz)
Full 1080p touch screen LED display
16GB memory
1 TB Hard drive 5400rpm
NVIDIA GeForce GT 740m with 2 gigs of dedicated video memory
Fingerprint scanner for passwords



CONS:
No Solid State Drive
No internal dvd/cd drive
no backlit keyboard

Indifferent:
Beats Audio Speakers with Subwoofers on the bottom

Im thinking that im going to replace the hard drive with an SSD (solid state drive) as it really does help with hard drive speed. Even if you have to get rid of some hard drive space. As for the dvd drive, it is some what of an issue, but you can find some fairly priced external blu ray drives that can be used as a normal blue ay player.It would be nice to have a back lit keyboard, but i can type fairly well without looking at it. Finally Beats audio is great but its nothing to write home about. While it does have fairly good sound, it doent have the greatest quality and really all it does is increase your high and low sounds while mids either stay the same. Over-all this laptop will be better for photoshop and video editing which was hindered on my previous laptop. You guys might see more media being pumped out of this machine.
