Happy with my purchase so far. I am very pleased with the preformance of the computer for the money. This isn’t a top of the line machine but for the price I think I got everything I had hoped to get with this purchase. The downside is this machince has a body and keyboard (My last laptop was a high-end Sony Vaio which probably rasied my expectations). When typing on the keyboard it feels like some of the keys are going to pop off and the body is cased in shinny black plastic that show all the finger prints and more imprortantly scratches.
I would recommend this a computer for someone looking in the $500-$750 range
We bought this computer as a laptop for the family. Its main uses are as a computer for the kids and to connect to a 1080p television to stream internet content such as Hulu and Netflix. We also use it as our primary computer when traveling. For all these uses, it has been great. It looks fantastic and has a better Vista score than my quad core desktop that is, admittedly, 18 months old. It drives the 1080p television without a problem, has respectable battery life even while watching video and is a great value for money. The multi-media remote control is very useful for the way we use the PC.
I found that speakers could be a little louder, but this is not normally a problem. The 12-cell battery does stick out a bit, but I found that it actually positions the keyboard at a better angle for me.
All-in-all a great computer for the $600 we paid for it new.
This laptop does all I want, excelent battery life and puts the computer in a better way, although heavier. The remote control did not work on arrival. Excelent customer service from HP, sent a new one. The only bad thing is that on the screen there is ocasionally a red extremely small red dot that dissapears sometimes after a few minutes.
Apparently, HP laptops are supposed to have this heating problem. But, mind you, its not smth that should deter you from buying these stylish, great performing computing devices. I bought this on amazon for a great price and I love it! I haven’t had any heating issues whatsoever.
The 12 cell battery lasts 4+ hours, which is really cool! Also, it acts as a stand and lets the heat pass out freely. It also gives your laptop a nice inclination for typing.
PS: You might hate vista, but this laptop works sexy with Windows 7
I have tried my laptop and I don’t have a bad thing to say, except the design makes it a bit big. This is a plus/negative because the battery is kinda big so the laptop has ventilation when putted in a surface. Battery duration is good, and for me as an architect works pretty well. I use programs like autocad, 3dmax photoshop and they work normally and fast. The little control is for me the best thing because you can control almost everything and you can watch a movie and you dont have to move from your bed to pause it. This is a good option to buy, I’m a satified customer!
