Hello all, I work at several large computer superstores and have access to them all on a daily basis. I Have not purchased these laptops but I instead work with them in order to bring
you the highest quality consumer based reviews. I sometimes ask the opinions of my staff and also of customers to bring you up to speed. So without further interuption here is my review on the HP 530
Well this is power value and for just about £300
DESIGN
BASIC BASIC BASIC is the words but the build quality is high and it looks like a rather expensive machine and it was very popular at recent months. Especially to thoose in
university and thoose that need a basic cheap laptop.
PERFORMANCE
Its not slow but it wont win awards. In fact it was quite nippy dispite the poor and outdated Intel Celeron Chip and the meager RAM of 512mb. It wont be runing Adobe CS3
anytime soon but Microsoft Office will run and so will other less demmanding programs. Even some older games will run but you wont be through the roof with the frame
rates either. The saying " you gets what you pay for" springs to mind. Not bad and great value for the price point.
SCREEN
The screen is good and you cant fault it for the price. Its pretty good, for thoose who are wondering its 15.4 inches which is about right. Its rather clear and sharp but again
wont win awards.
EXTRAS
Not much but everything you'd expect on a basic laptop but it has most of the ports you'd need and wifi so no annoing cards or sticks needed.
CONCLUSION
If you want a first laptop or a simple one as your first computer this is it and would do everything required for university and most jobs. Quite nippy to be honest so my personal opinion is to purchase this laptop if it suits your needs.

Advantages: Have great features like picture quality, huge memory attractive model. Disadvantages: weight is some what similar to other 15.4" models. It s should be less.
