HP EliteBook Mobile Workstation 8530w

Advantages: feels really sturdy.
Disadvantages: the steel may look good but picks up prints way too easily

...The new elite books from HP offer a real power house of a computer in a fairly portable casing. The laptop itself comes in a steel case, this not only makes it look good but also makes it feel really sturdy to hold and really robust. One downside to this is that it does show up fingerprints really easily and you do find your self having to clean it quite often if you don’t want it to look a bit messy. The screen size of this laptop is 15.4 inch, which is the average size of a laptop. This is about the size you would want if your just using a laptop for internet browsing, doing work on and playing those occasional games and videos. However if you like to watch a lot of videos on your laptop you might wish you’d bought a laptop with a 17 inch or bigger screen as this may be just too small for you. However video quality...

Mobile Workstation, new thinking

Advantages: Good processing speed with some advanced features
Disadvantages: DDR2 RAM with only 667 MHz speed

...Mobile Workstation ************************** Basic Idea HP is a well known name in consumer electronics, especially in computers and printers. Workstations from HP are most popular due to most advanced features and time to time updates. Some of workstations are really rocking with ultimate processing speed and advanced features. Workstations are generally considered as highly configured desktop PCs, but the tradition has been changed now. People wants a good workstation but they also want to carry it while traveling. I also think that, these should be a good workstation PC but it should be like notebook kind so that I can carry it with me. HP has its solution and they really caught the inner thinking of consumers. After rocking success of desktop workstations PC, HP has now decided to enter in mobile workstation market. If...

HP C4480 Printer - Great all-rounder

Advantages: High text and image print quality; prints, scans and copies; good value for money
Disadvantages: Not got wireless; software is a bit complicated

...; it is rather complicated, but is ok once you've figured it out and got the hang of it. Changing the cartridges is really simple - this printer takes HP 350 black ink cartridges, and HP 351 tri-colour ink cartridges. These are also available in 'XL' sizes, which provide a lot more ink for your money - really good value. Special HP 348 photo cartridges are also available, for those wanting to print high-quality images. The front flap folds in completely flush with the rest of the printer, which is great for saving space when it's out of use. Whilst the printer offers fantastic value for money and all the features you could possibly want, the software is probably the main thing that lets it down. The software is slightly fiddly to use and not overly logical, however you soon get used to it, and personally I do not often need to use it...

Review of HP Photosmart C4480

A great workstation

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)...

HP 1220C

Advantages: a good solid professional printer
Disadvantages: none

...I have to say in writing this piece that I have always been a fan of Hewlet Packard and that this printer is my third Printer from them, I started with the HP 560C in 1994 moved up to a HP 870CXi in 1998 and then this beauty in 2000 I have had this printer for a year now, and have put it though its paces well and truly....it is very kind on both the tri-colour and the black ink Cartridges.... Setting up the printer was very easy, being able to run on a conventional printer cable or linked via a USB cable ( as in my set up), printing is very fast and with Photoret III near photographic quality colour printing is possible...the included CD was easy to use and set up the software in a few moments, a new feature to me was the 'myprintmileage' in the 1220C toolbox, this links to your own personal area at HP on the web and once...

Review of HP Deskjet 1220c

HP Deskjet 845c Printer

Advantages: Compact, easy to install, good quality
Disadvantages: A bit fussy about some print cartridges

...An inkjet printer is a compact and I would say essential addition to any home computer setup, and HP make, in my experience, the best home and home office inkjet printers. As you may or may not know, unlike laser printers which work by effectively burning an image of the data to be printed onto the paper (usually by means of a "fuser unit"), inkjet printers work by spraying ink directly onto the paper through a specialised nozzle which paints the data as it goes along. Inkjet printers are generally much cheaper than laser printers and more suitable for home use. The HP Deskjet 845c is a typical HP (Hewlett-Packard) inkjet printer. It is light, has an attractive shape and simple light grey colour, is easy to install and fairly cheap to buy (ours was in the region of £100). It will print sizes of paper up to and including A4 (you can...

HP 930C Versus 950C And Epson Equivalents

Advantages: Does all types of printing quickly and quietly
Disadvantages: Replacement cartridges can be expensive compared to other manufacturers unless you buy overseas (Spain)

...Okay, to start with I work in the computer trade, so I see products come and go. At work we do lots of point of sale displays, which are usually A4 sized with a large colourful header and some bullet points in large black text. I can without hesitation recommend the Hewlett Packard 930C for its excellent print quality and speed. The documents are printed directly from Photoshop 5 and the results on cheap copier paper are fantastic. But for a real test I printed out a picture of my baby son (for testing purposes, honestly!). The picture was taken on a Kodak 200 Plus at high resolution and printed directly from internet explorer, on copier paper with the HP cranked right up to the highest print quality (1200 DPI, I believe). The finished picture was excellent, and I now keep it to show customers how good the printer can be even...

A Leap in Technology - the HP Photosmart C4585

Advantages: Wireless printing and scanning saves time and money for business
Disadvantages: Sometimes needs turned on/off when scanning lots of documents

...I received the HP Photosmart C4585 as a Christmas 2008 present and so am not sure how much was paid for it- though I know it was bought from Curry's. To sum up in the first paragraph all I can say is that this in an incredible piece of technology- the freedom of not having to plug in printers and scanners into my laptop is a great asset that I did not think I could appreciate to such an extent. The product was found in excellent condition upon opening the packaging due to the strong polystyrene inserts that fitted the box like a glove. Inside all the relevent user manuals, quick start guide (for both windows and apple), warranty cards and sample ink cartridges were included. When paired with my wireless-g network this printer/scanner/copier took approximately 30 minutes too set up. I am quite computer literate so perhaps a complete...
