Looks nice except for the Integrated graphics. When is HP going to get a clue and put something other than integrated graphics in their AMD laptops?

 

If only they made it 14"

 

7-in-1 media reader and no CF support. I could understand more except that they support smartmedia, which is a lot more dead than CF. High-end photography still primarily uses CF.
