Bad choice for development...
Buy at least 7200 RMP hard drive. It's very important if you want to work on
this laptop..
I was able to customize if from me on HP web site.
Usually laptops have 5400 RMP (revolutions per minute) hard drives. Saves
battery time but really bad for application development. Compiling will take
forever plus working with SQL is hard drive intensive work.
If specs do not say RMP for hard driver then most likely it's 5400 or 4800
(which is even worst).
-----------------------------------------
Just another note.... If you do not really need laptop they do not buy it..
get yourself nice desktop system...
You might get a problem like carpal tunnel from using tiny keyboard (besides
it's inconvenient and your typing speed will drop).
If you do need laptop, like for travel, then it's better to invest into
full size keyboard/mouse and preferably monitor bigger that 15 inch. so you
could connect to your laptop... Docking station is an option but pricey...
