Advantages: lite, durable, fast processing speeds, good for daily business use
Disadvantages: RAM is low for todays business needs.

Its a core Duo processor which means its has 2x 1.6 GHz processors inside it giving you more than enough power to run even the best of 3D professional applications or soft wares. Best is the Duo technology that comprises efforts of 2 processors rather than piling all onto just one which also improves performance and keeps the actual processors cooler as they have to do less calculations between them. Two heads are better than one. The battery time ...
...note that this means of 4.5 hours of actual usage not say if you leave the Notebook on sleep mode in between. 1 GB of RAM is very good on a business oriented Notebook and means you can be using all or most of your daily business applications all at once.

...not miss a thing. This thrilled me because the last laptop (a different brand) I used, the full factory image/settings was not recovered when I had to format it. It came with a trial version of microsoft office 2007 (I did not need to buy MS office for a while), a sixty subscription of Norton Virus and windows vista which can be a nuisance. But I understand that one can request for a downgrade to windows XP professional. ... Read review

...different styles, the anti-glare or HP Brightview displays. BrightView improves the brightness, contrast and clarity of your notebook's screen. The notebook itself is a stylish black machine that weighs only 2.49 kg to make it operate effectively as a wireless machine. The optional DVD+/-RW SuperMulti DL LightScribe drive makes your storage media stand-out with custom labels that you can burn directly to your disc, and also lets you record or watch ...
...vista home edition and installation and ease of use are both perfect. I set it up within half an hour with no qualms. You get 1.6 to 2.2 Ghz of memory depending on which model processor you choose, but every one gets the job done and this machine can't go wrong. ... Read review
