(More customer reviews)First off, let me point out that this is the HP Envy 17 3D series laptop, the best that HP makes. One pair of 3D glasses are included, and the 3D demos included with this Laptop are amazing. I haven't had a chance to fully test this thing out, just got it about a half an hour or so ago, but so far, I'm very impressed. The audio is the best, by far, that I've ever heard in a mobile platform (this coming from my previous gaming laptop: Gateway p7811fx). I have not tested any games with it yet, but will follow up when I've tried a few out. The 120hz screen is stunning, that's the only way I know how to put it. The touchpad is finicky, but its something I will try to get used to in the coming days, if not, Ill include that in my follow up. Did I mention the sound quality yet? Another plus to this laptop is the layout of the keyboard. I have large hands and the amount of spacing between the keys makes it more comfortable to type than any other laptop I've used.
To sum it up:
+screen image is amazing
+audio is the best I've heard in a laptop
+excellent keyboard
+3D
+Super Fast!!!!!
The only con I can think of is getting used to the touchpad, I'm sure it wont be much of a con with time.
Ps. The photos don't do this laptop justice.EDIT-----------------------------------

I have installed and played a few games so far. Farcry 2 runs great in 3D on high settings, and looks breathtaking, it's hard to describe but it's a definite must see. The touchpad no longer bothers me as I was able to turn down the sensitivity in windows. In addition, I was able to return the F keys to their original function in the BIOS screen, so no big deal there.
In addition, I have been able to play Farcry 2 for hours without experiencing any overheating, the bottom left area gets slightly warm, but no where near uncomfortable.
A few things to point out:
The two 500gb hard drives are not in raid from factory
The photos on Amazon are the wrong laptop, they look similar, however this one says ENVY 17 3D in the top right corner.
The 3D glasses work great, however I have discovered they will not work properly if you are facing a TV that is turned on (I assume IR interference)
Overall I am very impressed with this laptop and feel that it is worth investing in.

This laptop just up and died on me while playing a game. The screen started to flicker like an old black and white tv. I attempted to restart it, however it will no longer boot on. I contacted HP for an RMA, so far the staff has been very nice and helpful. However, paying this much for a laptop, there is no excuse for it to fail after 3 or 4 months of casual usage.
