In most all respects this an excellent laptop. However, the wifi card is a poor performer under windows and the lack of free drivers under linux is sad, but the deal breaker is it's not possible to change this card. HP will provide only identical replacements as the system requires an embedded electronic serial, without it the system will not initialize. Had I known about this before I bought the laptop I would have gone with Toshiba. You can remove the card but you can't replace it with a non HP card, it simply won't work.
