I might have just hit the HP Support Jackpot. But it was hands down the best experience I have had between machine manufacturers - HP/Sun/S76/Dell/Apple etc...

I was completely dumbfounded when HP just said "we are going to send you a new machine, at no cost, please pick from this list...

And I picked this dope Omen machine and when I opened it up to look at the guts and put in a second SSD, I was taken aback by the elegant symmetry of the design. The only downside is that even though the sound is "bang & olufsen" - its a bit too quiet.

However, the support guy on my case was dope, and I love this machine

Yes it is amazing, EVEN for the lower end E series.

I bought one, and didn't like the keyboard. Send to a relative overseas. Months later the Mobo died a few weeks under warranty. Called HP and told i was overseas. They provided a local support number. ship by local post. upgraded new mobo. no charge.

This was a non-business $300ish laptop.

sadly, their shopping experience is abysmal like every other PC manufacturer :(
