Advantages: VERY POWERFUL, great screen Disadvantages: Cost?
...This hp takes everything you can expect from a laptop and with most specs....
DOUBLES IT!
Not only is this laptop spec'd up to the max, but it is from a truely great company.HP. I own many hp products and have not yet found one hat doesn't do its job fantastcally. I am sure this is no exception. Also with the HP rand, you get a fll one year warranty that covers all f the system from failure.
Now... where to start on such a fantastic product?...
Well, the laptop has a beautiful 17" anti-glare WUXGA screen which is perfect for gaming, buisness, or home entertainment.
The prosccor is increadibly fast offering a blistering 2.6ghz and 6mb cache, this allows almost any function to work seemlessly, from gaming to movies, to graphic design, this procssesor will not let you down.
It also has a mega 4gb of ram, this allows the laptop...

Advantages: Slimline, only takes a few U's in the Rack. very reliable. Disadvantages: The new HP Smartstart is not as easy to understand as the original version.
...For those of you who aren't aware HP have taken over Compaq and rebadged compaq Servers with the HP badge.
This is just an upgrade to the Compaq Proliant DL380 G2.
You are still getting one of the most reliable servers in the industry for the right price.
They have also rectified the problem on the last model where there was only 4 bays for hard disks , there are now 6 bays, a FDD and a CD drive.
The server is a slimline model and for those of you who rack their servers, this is ideal as it only takes a few U in the rack.
I have built several of these without any real problems and all have been stable once built.
The only critisimn I can make is that Smartstart, a compaq utility to assist you in building these servers, has been rebadged, HP smartstart and given an overall and so far im not impressed, the screens don't flow...

Advantages: Good battery life Disadvantages: None yet.
...I have had this laptop for over 2 years now without anything needing to be replaced. The battery life of 4-5 hours is great in a laptop as well. Also, Windows XP will run smoothly on this laptop. I doubt that it will be able to support Windows Vista, but I will try. I mostly use my laptop for school and is perfect for home use. This would make for the perfect investment for your childern or yourself, as it is inexpensive and durable. My mother bought the same laptop when I did and her's still works as well. Compaq has a wealth of troubleshooting and driver downloads available on their website. I will continue to buy compaq in the future....
