Advantages: Very fast, reliable, does the job it's made for
Disadvantages: Outer casing on the TFT panel could be stronger.

...at the business market, and to the end it does perform rather well. The combination of the very fast 2.33Ghz Core two Duo processor and the 2Gb of RAM installed as standard makes this a very amicable work tool. For every day MS Office applications the machine performs very well and remains stable. I tend to have several office and other business applications open at the same time, including Autocad. To date no matter what demands I place on the machine, it copes extremely well with no signs of lagging or worse freezing. Display.... The 17" TFT panel is very clear and a pleasure to work with. I have used laptops in the past where the display has a somewhat washed out appearance. The HP display in contrast remains nice and bright and produces a very sharp image. A big benefit I have noticed with the display compared to my old laptop... Read review

Advantages: Great Build Quality
Disadvantages: none

...Pretty good machine - we use it for graphics work and it handles everything well. Plenty of expansion space for additional drives. quality build with excellent case. Hard to fault it really. we added a high end graphic card ( at £350) and it became a dream machine. Renders video and Adobe Dreanweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator with ease. My colleague swears by it and not at it. Wish I could say the same about my Dell laptop. There are some other good workstations out there but I would stick with HP. The workstation quality that was so apparent with the Compaq brand has not disappeared with the HP takeover. This machine will run and run - expect no less that 3 years usable life from this. When it eventually does give out don't throw away the case. It's almost worth the purchase price itself:o)... Read review

Advantages: small, light, inexpensive, fingerprint sensor
Disadvantages: 512mb RAM with 128 of that devoted to graphics card, no infrared

...Laptops are a pretty boring subject to write a review about. We all know what they do, so what makes this one special. Well first let me quickly run through the specs so that you know what we're dealing with here. It weighs in at just under 3kg which is not bad at all for a laptop/notebook. Mind you HP call it a notebook which I would disagree with. There are Sony VIAO's out there that are real notebooks. This baby however is bigger than what I could consider to be a notebook so I'm going to refer to it as a laptop. I do a fair amount of travel on business and this machine is just about right for long distance travel to far away countries. The last thing you want is to lug around a fat heavy laptop along with your luggage at airports. It comes with a standard 15 TFT screen capable of supporting a max 1600x1200 resolution...

Advantages: Stay connected
Disadvantages: Need to buy SD memory card

...suppose that’s the benefit of the detailed handbook, which comes with the HP Rx3715 – if I read it I’ll learn! First impressions are that this will be an extremely useful tool for me, or anyone who wants to stay connected and active while on the go. You will need to buy an SD card to provide extra memory to be able to get the most out of your handheld. There’s not a lot of base memory that comes with any handheld. I bought a 512mb SD card from Dixon’s and managed to negotiate a £10 reduction in price. Would I recommend this to others? Certainly.

Advantages: Small, compact, ideal for on the move, adequate speed and quality
Disadvantages: Expensive consumables, runs on parallel

...to transport, highly mobile etc and when it came out this was essentially a product that few other companies could offer. Therefore HP had the benefit of charging a high price for a unique product which had little competition. Since then however prices have skimmed and the printer is available to a wider market as the market has expanded and much more new printers are now competing. Canon for instance has developed the new i70, an amazing new tiny printer with excellent print quality and high speeds; the two latter of which this particular hp model fails to offer. The i70 has a smaller base area than a laptop and is about the depth of a TFT monitor. At such a size its ideal and combined with its quality and high speeds it makes it a much better alternative to the HP model. However one has to consider that the HP model has been out a couple...

Advantages: Easy access, still enough power!
Disadvantages: Old cases are large, heavy, limited CPU speed

...I bought these desktop from The boxshop in MN, I have a hobby of giving old used PCs a new lease on life and I found the 1 star review sadly lacking in computer knowledge. The PC is old and is far from cutting edge now, and at the time, the mobo dates back to 1998 so expecting 2007 performance is not what one should be hoping for with this Workstation. Compared to Compaq's current parent company; HP, their dual processor Workstations (Kayak) I also bought used... Those are more built around Pentium II support with Intel North and Southbridge were recently heralded by non other then Maximum PC in it's documenting the evolution of Computer technology, and it was nice to know I had the pleasure of using some of the landmark tech. I had an Apple ][ only for many years but fell out of favor with the Mac becoming the only Apple product... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, small, productive and capabilities
Disadvantages: Lacks intergrated bluetooth and wi-fi

...becomes a lot easier. Unfortunatly, being so small, it lacks intergrated bluetooth and Wi-fi but the SDIO slot enables extended capabilities such as LAN cards, Bluetooth cards and GPS solutions, meaning this device can be compatible with all types of wireless communications. Another handy thing about the SDIO expansion slot is it can be used to attach a 1.3 megapixel camera to the PDA, making it another thing the HP iPAQ can do. Featuring Windows Mobile 2003 SE, the menus and functions aren't that different from a standard PC, meaning getting use to the HP iPAQ is no problem at all. However, if you do manage to come across a problem, the 'Getting started guide' will provide the essential information needed to overcome the problem. The generously sized 3.5" 64k TFT screen is very detailed and crisp and using the pen to navigate around... Read review
