Graphics cards - Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with up to 224 MB shared system
Network - Intel 82562GT 10/100 Network Connection
Wireless - Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG; Broadcom 802.11 b/gFor the price i paid for this laptop i got more than i barganed for,the screen is excellent with the Brightview technology,A DVD Writer and 80gb Sata Hard Drive all for just Ł350 from ebuyer.
First thing i noticed when i opened the box was the size of the laptop it is quite and quite heavy, It came preloaded with windows vista basic edition all i needed to do was enter what username i wanted.
The main things th HP have done wrong is they have only put 512 DDR2 in to this laptop and i think that this is not enough for windows vista to run smoothly,would be ok for Windows Xp .After a few days i upgraded the memory of the laptop to 2gb ddr2 this is very easy and was cheap only Ł30. After i did this the laptop was perfect.
The touch pad is made from the same plastic the case and i think it is very good.The Graphics are Intel GMA 950 with a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800 will handles videos ok but will not be enough for games.The wireless on the laptop works about 80metres away from my router which is excellent range i would say. If the 530 had more connections on it such as memory card reader i think it would be perfect but you get what you pay for i suppose.
After testing the DVD Writer i found that it failed a lot of times using Nero Express it also failed using the HP Backup Software,Worked perfect when tryiing to copy music disk.The Lid on my laptop has got 2 scratches after only 2 month of using.One more problem i have found with this laptop is that the power cable is in the wrong place always seems to be in the way.
i would reccomend getting this laptop if you are on a tight budget and if you are not botherd about the size of the laptop(would reccomend Ram Upgrade).
...just a quick download from HP and Bobs your uncle or ndiswrapper perhaps. Only problem I had, that the machine comes new with 3 partitions already on it, for backup and stuff for Vista I suppose. PClos wouldn't partition it, but Ubuntu had no such problems. 3D desktop runs wonderful, showing the intel graphics card is up to job. Theres no firewire and only 2 usb ports, but at this price what do you expect. You could also grumble at all the connections ... ...the back which is taken up by the battery location. The screen is very clear and colours are beautifully rendered.Albeit there's only 512MB installed as standard, linux makes good use of it and dosn't feel more would be and advantage, but I think I will anyway. Nice machine, and I'm very pleased with it. ...

Advantages: Cost, Reliability, Battery Life, WIFI Range Disadvantages: Display not best, memory - not enough
So what's it got and is it worth it.
My 530 come with Vista Home Basic 32 pre-installed with the option of the Business 32 version for a little extra. It's powered by an IntelCore Due T2050 processor at 1.6GHz with 2MB level 2 cache and 533MHz FSB. The memory let's it down at only 512Mb, which struggles to keep up woth the demand of Vista.
The good news is that the memory can be upgraded to up to 2Gb, however we opted to trash Vista in favour of ... ...reasonable 80Gb SATA Hard Disk Drive and a combi DVD/CD RW drive wth double layer capability allows for essential backups, and writing speeds that won't keep you waiting.
The screen is 15.4 inches with WXGA Brightview technology.
There is a wired network adaptor as well as a wireless connection via a Broadcom 802.11 b/g, allowing complete mobility around the home or office.
We trialled this laptop in the home, using it for small business needs. ...
