Bought one for a relative months ago at Radio Shack. Same price and specs minus the blu-ray. It's a great value. Says Pentium, but it's based on 1st generation Core i. As with most HPs I've owned, it's probably up-gradable to i3/i5. It's screen is one of the better budget LED screens. Just use Win7's 'calibrate display color' to knock down the bluish color temperature. It's major annoyance was the borderless trackpad and very plasticy keyboard. Without a border, I was frustrated trying to scroll. The good news, it's multitouch and two finger scrolling can be enabled.
