 Rating:  - Major heat issues caused it to break after a year...I purchased this system in January of '07. It had always given off a lot of heat so I purchased a laptop cooler. However, it still ran very hot. One day, I realized that it would not close all the way. When I opened it up, I realized that the plastic bezel around the screen had expanded from the heat and actually split apart. I call HP technical support and even though it was still under warranty by one day, they said I must have damaged it because "it was impossible" for the bezel ... Read More Rating:  - Works for me!After the initial excitement left and I started loading various products and upgrades, I'm still impressed with the HP's capacity, performance and capabilities. Video streaming has been working well, easy link up to my home router and cable broadband. Been studying the TV links - what was included and the product called Slingbox. Played a few regular DVDs and all has been working as advertised. Minor criticism on the right shift key size but I can see it was a design choice that had little other options. Rating:  - Vista Experience 2.5......This laptop was a very large disappointment after the heightened expectations that developed after reading the product description and the reviews...I think the shills might have been busy on this product. First, it is SLOW. This may be more a Vista problem than a HP problem, but it is slow. The Dell 1505e (1gb mem, 1.6mz Intel Dual Core) that I replaced with this ran XP much faster than this runs Vista. Booting and restarting from sleep takes forever and every screen change is an opportunity ... Read More Rating: - Lives up to expectationsI've had no problem with the laptop to speak of, the screen is quite readable and bright, it plays the various games I've tried at high levels of graphics (Age of Empires III, Battle for Middle-earth I and II, and similar games). Rating: - Good choice for a basic laptopThis is a pretty good laptop that I've been happy with and would recommend. It is sufficient for my basic needs of Web surfing, organizing my music and photo collection, and playing solitaire. This is my first time using Vista, and I'm actually kind of impressed with it's ease of use. The only real problem I've had with it is that Vista would not allow me to install Microsoft Office 2003 until I disabled DEP (Data Execution Prevention) first. You would think, that a Microsoft operating system would be ... Read More |
