HP StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager OmniBook Server - P4-M 1.6 GHz - 14.1" TFT

Advantages: Looks good, feels well made
Disadvantages: USB ports

...Having used various laptops over the years, the HP Omnibook xe4500 laptop stands near the top of the pile for me. Just handling it, it feels well made, something you really expect from a brand like HP. It's not too big and feels substantially right (compared to some cheaper brands) sat on your lap. The keys are well spaced and feel solid, with everything laid out intuitively well. The colours of black with touches of silver work well and give it an "expensive look". My version came with a 20gb hard disk, not massive but as I use my HP as a secondary PC thats not a problem. The memory installed (256mb) is adequate but again I don't really play games, but it does handle Photoshop and Dreamweaver well.

...was happily working. Over the past year they has been many BIOS updates that fix problems, and create new ones. At the moment my laptop seems stable, and I'm not experiencing any of the ususal laptop problems. So why do I like this laptop so much? Well, it's extremely light. It has a removable CDRW-DVD combo drive which is exchangeable for either a blanking plate (reduces weight further) or a floppy disk drive. It has 256MB of DDRRAM (Double Data Rate Random Access Memmory if you were wondering) which means it has plenty of memory to play with. The memory is also in a one chip chunk meaning there's room for more under all that casing. The graphics card is a non-shared 32MB ATI card. This is also DDRRAM so it's pretty nice and fast.
