    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Slick and easy to use, very good all rounder. Wont break the bank

    Disadvantages Disadvantages System can be a little patronising, bad battery life

    4 Stars Good but could be better design 06/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great look, lightweight, comfortable to use and nice graphics

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No catch for closing laptop, mouse buttons not great

    Hello there I work as an ICT Technician and so far I have come across 20+ of these laptops at different specifications. Overall this is a great laptop at a great value but there are two little pet peeves that I have with this model. They are light, comfortable to use, easy to use and look great. The graphical display is usually very sharp and precise. My only problems with this type is that there is no locking mechanism (catch that keeps the laptop shut) but that is just a personal preference and the mouse buttons can be a pain to click at first but once you use it for a period of time you get ... more

    4 Stars Brilliant but not perfect 10/08/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Robust, value for money, portable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages touchpad scroll 'sticks', screen not too ood in bright light

    I have been an HP follower for my entire IT career (7 years now) and have generally had no problems from their kit. I have had the laptop for over 12 months and I use it for website development so it runs a SQL database server permanently and a number of virtual PC's as well from time to time and handles it all without too many slowdowns. The 6735s was in that category until it started to play up, this was due to an operating system fault (vista busines 32bit) which was fixed by reinstalling vista ultimate 64bit - fault was centered around the hibernate/standby where the laptop would not 'wake ... more

    4 Stars Good value and nice to use with Vista, but not ideal for Linux 27/03/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Value, speed, low power consumption, good screen and keyboard, plenty of disk & RAM

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No 1394 (Firewire) for my video camera. Unusual hardware prevents full use of Linux

    I bought a 6735s for around £400 in July 2009 mainly for domestic word processing, email and web use. Also to experiment with different Linuxes and use as a TV. I bought it to replace a power-hungry P4 desktop but still wanted at least as much power. For the main purposes it has worked fine. It is fast, has been reliable so far and is pleasant to use. It also works brilliantly as a lap-top television, in conjunction with a very cheap USB dual channel tuner and Windows Media Player. It can simultaneously record two tv programmes and play back another one with only occasional glitches. Sound ... more

    5 Stars Fort knox security, in a notebook. 07/12/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Amazing security, durability, fuction, price and design.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages none

    I have just recently bought this notebook and have to give it a resounding thumbs up. It is definately a cut above in terms of design, function, security and price! The first thing I noticed when I took at out the box was design. The notebook looks really cool in shape, colour and design. It is also quite light and thin, with a width of 14.1 in, a depth of 10.5 in, a height of 1.3 in and weighing in at 5.5 lbs. The notebook is also quite durable, it doesn't scratch easily and bumbs have no effect on design or function. It also has a nifty feature called HP 3D drive guard; I'm not entirely sure ... more
