HP DV9655EA, The Modern Life

Advantages: Everything, AMD Dual Core, Graphics, Looks, Performance, Specs
Disadvantages: None

...The HP DV9655ea. As a small business owner (I.T) I have to have a Laptop. It's as simple as that. My old laptop was a Toshiba Equium M70 on XP. Being in I.T meant that I had to have the latest OS from Microsoft in order to help clients when they need help with Vista. Usually when somebody asks me to find them a laptop for their needs, I can do it swiftly, effectively and find them their perfect laptop. This was not to be the case with me, I sat there for hours and hours going through supplier products. The main 3 I whittled myself down to where Toshiba, HP and Acer. I already had a Toshiba and to be honest, I really thought the speakers on their new version looked naff. Acer, a pretty budget make and often need repair. After going through specs after specs, I chose this laptop, Down to the build quality, reliability...

Hp DV9030ea media entertainment system - Excellent but overheats

Advantages: Powerfull, stylish, many featured, Large display with built in camera and full Keyboard.
Disadvantages: Overheating, noisy fan and short battery life. It's large and Heavy.

...The laptop is a powerfull laptop with a 1.8x2 ghz processor and Nvidea Go 7600 256mb graphics card and looks very stylish but has a terrible overheating problem which you can feel if you have it balanced on your legs; even with space for the fan your always jiggleing it about wondering if it has enough air (The fan is quite noisy). It has a large 17inch display, bluetooth and built in camera and touchpad. Full sized keyboard. Touch panel buttons for media centre and quickplay. 4 USB ports, express card slot with tv aereal I like it a lot but it burns out once a year. The graphics card is fixed to the motherboard so when it goes you have to replace the motherboard too. HP did give me a great fast service on the extended warrantly on this problem (see the website under dv9030ea) but the problem is the pain of having to keep replacing...

HP Pavilion DV2130ea made for everything!!!

Advantages: remote control, in-built camera, HP imprint finish, 120GB, Core Duo processor
Disadvantages: didn't find any jet.

...I bought my HP Pavilion dv21360ea in november last year. The advantage to buy new laptop at this time, is that you'll be able to upgrade to new Windows Vista which will be available broadly January 30, 2007. So if you get a new laptop between October 26, 2006 and March 15, 2007 you will be able to uprade for free to Windows Vista. I have already order it from HP site. It's really easy to do and the only fees you have to pay are packaging and delivery (which is around 12£). General & Extras The laptop itself is great. Compact, light enough to carry around and powerfull too. A 14.1 inch widescreen display that is HD ready and features HP BrightView technology makes watching films thrilling. DVD recorder makes writing your favorite movies into DVD's very easy. I really like that little add-ons, for example nice little remote...

The HP dv6238ea (UPDATED REVIEW!!!)

Advantages: elegant, reasonably priced, splendid specifications
Disadvantages: mediocre battery life (6 CELL), WXGA HD display flaws a little under direct sunlight, "quick play" sounds cannot be muted.

...This is an updated review on the new dv6238ea earlier published by me. The pavilion 6xxxx entertainment series notebooks have been one of the most marketed laptops in recent years by the world's largest personal computer maker. The series debut models (the dv6095ea and the dv6021ea) which premiered the current design have been discontinued. Shipped in a compact package as with most laptops, this notebook weighs approximately 3.0 kg without the ac adapter. Certainly 3kg would be considered a little heavy among the mobility enthusiasts; nonetheless the dv6238ea is marketed within the "entertainment line" which makes it one of the lightest in this category. On opening the box and unpacking its contents, most people will make a striking discovery that the package includes no CD drivers and applications except a AOL broadband CD...

EA sports Active Wii, a workout that wil shape any couch potato

Advantages: Strict and challanging workouts but the wide range will keep you interested and motivated.
Disadvantages: The wii balance board would be useful for some tasks (extra cost).

...and hard. So if like me you are not physically fit, you can choose the easier setting and work your way up. But i can not stress enough that easy is NOT easy. The aim of the game is to get you fit and this it does!! EA Sports Active comes with the game disc, a Wii Nunchuk with a thigh band that tracks running, and a stretch resistance band for lunging and weightlifting. Your own wii remote will be used for such things as throwing and punching. The Wii balance boad is not an essential requirement but i find it is helpful with a number of activities. Th package also has a workout calendar, it can track your calorie losses and even asks questions about your diet. Compared to other computer games this is sure to get you motivated and possibly lose a good few pounds!...

DV6552 Laptop - Great Features

Advantages: Good speakers, good sound, overall reliability, many extra features, good value for money
Disadvantages: Battery life, quite heavy

...I have now owned by dv6552 laptop for 18 months. As a university student, I use it non-stop - for writing notes, browsing the web, listening to music, uploading photos etc. It has lasted really well, and despite the inevitable technological developments always going on, still seems up to date compared to newer models on the market. I love the look and feel of this laptop; it is really sleek and a lot better looking than other laptops available. It is easy to use and of good quality. The 15.4" screen is really good, and colours look great on it; fantastic for watching videos or viewing photos. The built-in Altec Lansing speakers are also really good; I have not needed to buy any others, and regularly play all my music through my laptop. The volume also goes quite loud, which is useful. My laptop has been quite robust and durable...

HPDV9030EA Review

Advantages: Full Size Keyboard, Good Speakers, Large Display, Powerfull, Stunning Looks
Disadvantages: Short Battery life, Known issue with manufacturer.

...I have owned the HP DV9030EA for a year now. There is a known issue at HP of this laptop overheating and therfore an extended 1 years warrenty is offered for free via HP. I personally encountered this problem which caused the Graphics card to fail. At power on, you would get no display / external display. I spent around half an hour on the phone to HP and was very pleased with the service i received. They collected the laptop next day and quoted me 14 days to return the laptop. I had my laptop back within 7 days and it didnt cost me a penny! On the diagnosis sheet they identified it was fitted with an entire new mainboard. Most Pleased! Overall This laptop is Brilliant! Some Small features make for a big difference: Full Size Keyboard, Abillity to turn touchpad off easily, How thin the laptop is, 5 in 1 card reader and very...

HP DV6599 Special Edition - Good All Rounder

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

...I bought this laptop in September 2007 after much research into what laptop was best for 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 to damage - simplicity is key I think. The laptop is full of features. As well as the bright screen and touch-sensitive controls for music and dvd, there is more than adequate connectivity and the laptop also came with a special edition mouse and headset - a nice extra touch that made me feel I got...
