Star Wars Special Edition Notebookby HP
PROS
- The design is eye-catching, and HP's attention to detail shows. Even the foam packaging is cut to look like an Imperial starfighter.
- HP's Star Wars Special Edition Notebook doesn't cost much more than a normal 15-inch HP notebook, making the purchase decision easy for Star Wars fans.
- Performance, even on the entry-level model, is relatively good.
CONS
- Rated at just seven and a half hours, battery life on this limited edition notebook is, well, limited.
- The NVIDIA GeForce 940M discrete graphics card is OK for basic gaming, but not for much else.
- The matching Star Wars protective sleeve and mouse are not included in the purchase price.

The best thing about this laptop is undoubtedly its design. It doesn't scream Star Wars at you, but has a deliberately roughed-up finish that speaks of many battles. The top surface features a black and gray Imperial style, with the HP logo at its centre, and Darth Vader sitting in a black and red large window, looking serious.

The appearance of the machine is not only unique, but also tells the tale of one of the most beloved Sagas – Star Wars. We should also note that the design isn’t the only thing being Star Wars themed about the device – its software is, too.
