Well this laptop Truly is Business Power at a Budget!
Please bear this in mind: I Manage several PC Superstores and test pretty much every laptop I wish to. I have used this laptop for two days tops.
Also If you want me to review a computer please send me a message.
DESIGN and BUILD QUALITY
This Laptop is a no frills business machine. HP forget super stylish and instead have made a functional laptop that is durable. The Laptop is extremely robust and built well out of thick plastics. The keyboard is sound and the laptop is designed to fit nicely on the lap. Another great thing about this laptop is how cool it stays. Your wont be radiating your genitals to much with this machine.
SCREEN
This laptop has a screen designed for business. The test machine had BrightView installed and is great the picture is so sharp. A reason for this is business users may have to look at for several hours at a time and it is designed with them in mind. Its 15.4 Inches wide and is perfect for spreadsheets, word documents and powerpoints. This is one of the nicest screens I have seen on a laptop especially at this price range
PERFORMANCE
This laptop has a dual core processer which is pretty standard these days but it only has 1GB of RAM. This is fine for Microsoft Office and the Internet but Im sure it will strugle over time. I do reccommend upgrading the laptop to 2GB. There is a 120GB hard drive in this laptop which should be enough for anybody.
GRAPHICS
There isnt really much point in talking about the graphics in this computer as it isnt for playing games. HP make huge numbers of PC's for that. Instead this laptop has a cheap and cheerful intel intergrated chipset.
BATTERY
The advertised 4.5 hours is okay and I suppose enough for most users. If you require transcontinental flights of use without power then this isnt the laptop for you but if you want to use it on the train in the morning then this is more than enough
EXTRAS
There is minimal things to talk about as this is no frills business power PC but I hate the way it has Vista. I reccommend deleting vista and getting XP professional. It will run a hellofalot faster. Bear in mind there is no Vista Disk.
This laptop also does have a Card reader which is always useful. The inbuilt speaker isnt great but you shouldnt nees one too much.
CONCLUSION
This laptop is a no frill Business Power PC and is at a great price. If you want a laptop that will make it easy to perform your menial office tasks then this is the one for you.
