Full review
I write this review on this very laptop and i'm not going to beat about the bush its great. I bought this laptop on ebay a couple of months ago, i'm a student didn't have alot of money and wanted something to help me organise my essays and allowed me to work away from the desk (if your not a student you can still appreciate that sitting at a computer crouched on your desk is rather irksome after a while) and sitting in the garden in the sunshine is A LOT more productive sitting at my desk wishing i could fast forward life past exams so i was free....trust me.
All i required it to do was type and use the internet and was pleasantly surprised when it could do much more. The slowly down in running applications, internet and every day applications isn't really noticeable though dual cored models outshine it when it comes to multitasking. It can handle some games including quake 3, unreal tournament, but don't expect miracles primarily this is a business laptop and is better suited to running word processing application.
Features wise mine has built in wifi, bluetooth, infrared intel speedstep technology and windows xp professional addition. The laptop itself is robust and the materials have a high quality feel to them.
Aesthetically it is pleasing, and is very ergonomic the keys are a decent size and even those with larger fingers shouldn't have too much trouble using it. Battery life is decent i can type constantly and run a media player in the background as well as the internet for 2 hours but the less of the processor you use the longer the battery will last.
Portably it is excellent it is little over an inch thick and is light and very easily fits into a shoulder bag or ruck sack inf act it is barely larger than most of text book.
I bought this for £140 and i recommend it to students who just wants something to work on but is capable of playing games on a casual level, but if your budget allows than splurging on something more recent can do you no harm.

I've recently been able to test this laptop as my stepdad has received one through his work. It's the first time I have seen an HP/Compaq laptop, but I've used many other brands so I'll be mainly using them as a comparison.
