Advantages: Does everything
Disadvantages: Noisy

...strong. I opted for a Hp since i know them to be extremely reliable and since the merge of HP and Compaq you are assured of the reliability. This model does everything you could ever want from a laptop with the vesitility of a laptop and the power of a desktop. The large shiny screen makes it ideal for watching movies, playing games and even has the capability to allow many windows to be visible and readable at the same time. The processor with ...
...graphics card compliments it perfectly. I've recently used the laptop for DJing and it was perfect. The sound was great due to the excellent sound card and experienced no problems even after using it for almost 6 hours straight. The specification sheet is huge and it will be hard to find a laptop to match, especially at this price. The built in wireless is extremely useful. The only down side is the weight of the laptop. Carrying it around is a ... Read review

Disadvantages: heavy, less memory when compared to ther

One of my friend have this notebook, it is an ok noteboob nothing great, its good for a normal use where you just need to do some business work or some other official work, but if you looking for more than this not a perfect choice as its heavy, less memory, less hard didk space, so if you look at all other features as well then this notebook is not good for an overall entertainment notebook. but its good for other works. So its a nice notebook in ... Read review

Advantages: Sheer SIZE!!!!
Disadvantages: Sheer SIZE!!!!

...The SILVER finsih and HP logo oozes style and reinforces the quality I was expecting. Opening the lid, you are then struck by the FULL SIZE keyboard WITH numerical key-pad...great for typing in numbers!!! The keys are spread out quite nicely, and it feels like a standard keyboard. It comes with XP Home preinstalled...nice for simple use, but I needed a dual-boot XP Prof./Linux system...which this did, perfectly (espicially the Linux/Fedroa installation...worked ...
...reviews on its battery life, but its still running on about 2 hours, when fully charged....which seems good for the size. The 3Ghz P4 processor seems to be able to cope quite well, but you can't help but notice when the TWO fans kick in!!!! I forget to check for a floppy-drive when ordering, and was a little dissapointed when it didnt have one...but how often do we use floppys anyway? And with the 4 USB2 ports...a pen-drive is much better!!!! ... Read review

Advantages: Features, size and design
Disadvantages: Not good enough for gaming

...me. As a fan of HP products, I chose from the DV6500 range available at the time. This laptop had every spec I required for both using as a station for university assignments, as well as home use for music, film and gaming. Firstly, the design is eye-catching. I was bored of looking at the generic black or grey and thought the white anti-scratch surface was ideal. The laptop is also quite light and the absense of a locking clip meant there was less ...
...more than my money's worth! HP also frequently offer discounts so it's always worth checking to see what deals are to be had. As well as the remote control that is stored away when not in use, another of my favourite features is the fingerprint reader. When you use the internet on a frequent basis, remembering usernames and passwords can be frustrating. For anyone who hops from website to website, I'd highly recommend this feature. Thankfully I ...

Advantages: Good looks, most basic equipment you would need, able to handle most programs
Disadvantages: Not suitable for games, some aspects feel cheap

...However, I will warn that Toshiba have placed quite a lot of branding on the software. The Toshiba wallpaper is easy to get rid of, but there are numerous 'memory eating' programs that Toshiba claim to help your laptop - they do nothing worthwhile. Certainly nothing that Windows can't do better. Separate programs for controlling the touch pad aren't required, and uninstalling all of this non-essential software frees up storage space and memory. ...
...ethernet port for my internet, and have had no issues with either. The ethernet is very straight forward plug and play, and connects to your ISP in seconds. The display is extremely crisp and sharp, and the brightness can be changed to suite your needs (and energy consumption). On the subject of energy consumption, this laptop isn't too bad compared to some I have used. I can run my laptop in high performance mode using wireless LAN for internet, ... Read review
