This is a new laptop from HP and I'm not able to find any reviews. Can anyone please help me decide whether it is worth buying for $1149?
Anyone having experience with this or any other similar latest model of the dv7 series?

I'm buying from Amazon. Actually i'm limited to my choice since i need a quick-ship laptop. I'm getting it through my friend in USA who would be returning by 10th June. So I can not go for customised models.
Throough HP Direct it is $1049 and a coupon gives me further $30 discount. But it is not in my hands! My friend would be getting it for me.
Anyways, how about the specs? Do you have any experience with HP?
