Full review
The HP is a comfortably priced laptop. It is light-weight and features a good quality, glossy screen and comes complete with Vista. This is an excellent laptop to take to and from the office or use generally on the go.
The keyboard and control buttons are light-touched and feels smooth as you type. The laptop's exterior is stylish but keeps a low profile (finished in gun metal) it looks like the serious deal.
When working the laptop stays stable and has an air of quality about it. It loads applications quickly is quite simple to operate. It is also quiet when operating, good in libraries!
There are a few things however that could be changed with this laptop. The USB ports feel flimsy and a little weak. Also there is no catch to open the laptop, so you have to hold down the base to prevent it from taking off!
All in all this is a clever laptop and I highly recommened it to all potential buyers.
