HP Pavilion dv5

Advantages: Good quality laptop, great appearance
Disadvantages: Games are a no-no.

...A well designed, high quality affordable laptop, the HP pavilion dv5 doesn't fail to please in looks, performance or price. In terms of look and design, flashy is a good word for it. It has a glossy black case which shines in the light, then you open it. The keyboard-surround is split horizontally: the bottom half is very light silver with a white check pattern, and the upper half perforated silver plastic. Around the edge of the laptop, there is a chrome-effect strip which sparkles and shimmers. Even the mouse pad has a finish that is so reflective you can see your face in it. This is the 'bling-bling' of the laptop world. It also feels pretty solid, I don't think you would be able to break it easily and I have faith in it's durability and robustness. It is also quite light, weighing 2.65kg, not bad for a laptop it's size. Ok...

The Hp Pavilion dv6500t

Advantages: Design, speed, durability
Disadvantages: battery life

...I am the proud owner of one of these hp pavilion dv6500t laptops. It has a 15.4" Brightview display and the processor is an intel centrino duo (core 2 duo). The quality of the images displayed on the screen are excellent and overall the processor is very fast (one of the fastest laptops i have ever used). It has a memory of up to 2GB RAM which is more than enough for normal use (work/leisure). Another benefit of this laptop is the number of external connections it has - 3 USB ports, a s-video port, memory card slot (very useful if copying videos/pictures from a camera or video recorder), hdmi slot and some others that i have never used. There is a port for an external microphone and two headphone slots. It also has a webcam which records videos in a very high quality. It is also very easy to use, has a beautiful design and is quite light...

HP Pavilion DV6625em - high spec, shiny; questionable quality?

Advantages: Nice to use; wonderful screen and features
Disadvantages: Appalling customer service; cracks on lid; poor A/C adaptor reliability

...I purchased my HP Pavilion Laptop (model number dv6625em) in January 2008 after my previous laptop finally stopped working (and was beyond repair after 4 years of use and multiple failing components). I did a lot of research in order to find the best laptop at a reasonable price (I had £500), because I have heard lots of horror stories about unreliable laptops, or ones that are unpleasant to use. I chose the HP dv6625em because it matched my requirements and was available from John Lewis. They have a good name as a retailer and provided a free 2-year guarantee, which seemed sensible. I do not have a branch of John Lewis nearby, so I ordered it online. I?m going to write mainly in the past tense, just as a style of writing. I do still own the laptop but I?m not currently using it, as I will explain later. The laptop specifications are...

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 DV6000 - Great value for money!

Advantages: Sleek, solid performance all-round.
Disadvantages: Slightly short battery life.

...offers several Internet options; Ethernet, modem or firewire. I was delighted to find that my local area overseas had wireless coverage and was able to enjoy a high-speed connection immediately. The mouse and keyboard is a joy; light-touch and silky smooth it felt far more up-market than the price I paid; again I have gamed without needing an external mouse or speakers and found the experience none the less for that. The DV6000 is great for DVDs and listening to music - recommend headphones when playing CDs though, as the speakers do lack punch in this regard. It also has a built in web cam and the speakers work as microphones, enabling you to phone people for free over the Internet (just install the free software); video conferencing is also made easy. It has Firewire, VGA and S-Video ports and 3 USB ports, as well as Micro-jack and 2...

HP dv9000 review

Advantages: Good keyboard, nice screen, memory, hard drives and graphics for money
Disadvantages: Unfortunately this model doesnt have the HDMI which newer ones do.

...A value for money laptop. Good 17" widescreen, loads of memory 2GB, Good hard drive size and I have the AMD 64 AthlonX2 processor. All this combined gives reasonable speed for the cash paid. I use mainly for home use ie internet, word documents etc and it copes easily. The speakers are a little weak but this is to be expected. The laptop is also quite light and therefore confortable while sitting on your knees. As a previously mentioned the camera can be dodgy at times but if you dont use this facility like me its not of great concern. Its also good to keep the system updated with the with the HP updates and the Microsoft Vista updates. This will ensure stability and the most up to date security and drivers....

HP Pavillion DV 6355

Advantages: Remote, Bright and Sharp Screen, Lightweight, Large Hardrive
Disadvantages: 1GB Ram, Only 3 USB Ports, Webcam Incompatability with Vista

...that the lid slams shut to secure closing. HP includes 3 USB ports, including an ExpressCard slot and a 5-in-1 card reader. A remote control is included to allow controlling of power, volume, DVD controls etc allowing you to watch a movie in bed and turn the machine off without getting up. This is a useful feature. Performance from the Intel Core 2 Duo T5300 with 1GB of RAM is satisfactory, but struggles with Vista\'s aero interface. The laptop is a compact size, comparible with all 15.4" models meaning its easily transportable. I paid £699.99 for this product and all in all I am pleased with the Notebook. I would recommend this product to others....
