...side (as is usual for HP i think) is not power connector, but there are LAN, VGA output, TV out as a S-Video. On the right side are from the rear analog modem, optics mechanic and two USB ports.

Up from the USB ports is a card reader for SD, MMC, MS/Pro, XD and card inside always overreaches. On ... Read review

Advantages: size, looks, portability
Disadvantages: ram

...and just shows how serious Toshiba actually are about the designs of their laptops. The built in ram in this laptop is ok, its not really anything special but it will do for most. It has just 1gb of ram, however which can make it seem sluggish when trying to run demanding software which takes quite a while to load, and when trying to play the newest games, this laptop really didn’t respond all that well either. However a solution may be to ...
...do, it is a solution to the slow speed problems and if you choose to do so, you will be able to upgrade the laptop to a maximum of 4 gb of ram, which would really improve the laptops speed dramatically. Its nice however to see this laptop with quite a big hard drive. I would first think, if a laptop only had 1 gb of ram, that it would only have an 80 gb hard drive. However it doesn’t, it actually has 120 gb hard drive which is something you’d ... Read review

Disadvantages: price, amount of ram and hard drive

One thing HP Compaq are good at is making great laptops for business people. This clearly shows in this laptop as it incorporates everything a business man would need in a laptop.

Advantages: Excellent value for money, good spec
Disadvantages: not bluetooth enabled

...that when I compared the Acer to the big boys it offered much much more for the money. The only thing that this particular model doesnt offer is built in Bluetooth but this can be easily solved by purchasing a dongle. It was so easy to set up and i was able to use it immediately, from previous experience this was a blessing and quite refreshing, no sotware cds, anti vrus software to install as it was already pre loaded. I would definitely recommend ... Read review

Advantages: fairly fast, portable, good battery
Disadvantages: havent found any yet.

i know this is no where near the best laptop around or anything and im nto going to bore you with the specs, just my own opinions cause you can get the specs by clicking a couple of buttons yourself. so here goes, i have had this laptop for a while and have found it to be very useful at times, it works like a wonder and for its price its not to bad. im quite happy about this laptop, it will run pretty much anything without stumbling over itself. ...
...trouble playing games nor running high end processor programs. very easy to connect almost anything to it, with plenty of usb 2.0's you can connect almost all high speed devices to it with ease. ashamed to say that i did spill water over it once before and a few keys stopped working for a couple of days, but once i had cleaned it out it worked like normal. if you have any questions or anything you would like to know about this laptop, please dont ...
