Advantages: cost
Disadvantages: none

I bought this laptop 3 years ago and have had not problems with the stability of the computer. Since then I have increased the memory by another 256 Mb, this was easily completed by removing a bottom flap and inserting the new memory in the spare hole. The battery has been replaced this summer due to battery only lasting 20 minutes, if you buy an original battery it will cost in the region of £120 but I found many sellers on the internet selling ...
...lasts the same as an original battery. The computer came with windows xp pro which is better than the windows home addition. The computer did not come with wifi but I added a wireless card in the PCMIA port and this works fine connecting to my wireless broadband router which is located upstairs. The sound is good and can be adjusted either by the buttons on the left hand side of by key strokes on the keyboard. The computer has 2 usb version 1.0 ports, ... Read review

Advantages: good little system
Disadvantages: mouse can be a little dodgy

...then press it again. HP deny this error exists, but i've sold 10-15 of these through my business and they all have the same fault. it's no biggie, but it could get annoying. anyway, other than that, like I said, no real faults. the tft is unusually bright and clear, the speaker system is superb. even has a good attempt at base, which for a laptop is something to shout about. the keyboard is situated perfectly for touch-typing and can be used very ...
...machine absolutely flies. only other problem i've ever had is that the hard-drive can die after about 12 months, but that is based on the usage I gave it. It was very very very overused :-) so, for once, credit goes to HP for a superb machine ... Read review

Advantages: Compact, value for money
Disadvantages: no USB ports for mouse etc!

Had never heard of the Acer brand before but as the laptop was on special offer in shop and appeared to be a bargain, we gritted our teeth and went ahead. Over the first few weeks after purchase we realised that the laptop has no USB ports or ports for mouse etc so you have to use the touch pad, like it or not. However for a basic, home use laptop for the average user it does what it needs to do! Would not recommend this model for any business use ... Read review

Advantages: Good spec, excellent value, nice looking.
Disadvantages: Some minor niggles, spec could be better.

...this review on my new hp Compaq nx9005 laptop which I'm well pleased with. I settled on this laptop after a fair bit of research into laptops at around the £800 mark. I was very impressed with this machine's specs and also the excellent reviews I'd read of it. I picked it up on the brilliant ebuyer.com for the bargain price of around £810. SPECIFICATIONS Processor: AMD Athlon XP-Mobile 2400+, a great processor which has the distinct advantage of ...
...closed, there is a large hp logo on the back of the screen. This is one area in which the plastic feels a little flimsy but otherwise it feels pretty solid. The screen is opened by the usual sliding catch on the front. It is quite weighty but not prohibitively so. Its about standard for a fully featured 14" screen model I guess. When open, you're presented with the large matt black screen and little else on the top half. On the bottom, the speakers ... Read review
