I bought this laptop a year ago, it has served me well, I am a computing student currently studying games. The laptop's design itself is a little plastic for my tastes with the track pad not being too great, the scroll bar on it often decides not to work. But on the plus it has a fingerprint scanner which is great for security. This being said it is good for the money you pay, the processing power of the laptop is good and has served me well when making games 2D games, the hardrive is quiet, the screen is large and bright with a good colour ratio, if you are after a laptop that does a lot of graphical work then this is not for you as there is no dedicated ...  Read the complete review

This laptop is pretty good in day to day business use, with a decent battery life, variety of features and functions there are lots of good points about this laptop, but it isn't the best. So if you're after a higher end laptop then I would recommend that you look elsewhere. It comes pre-installed with Windows Vista, but with a good operating system (e.g. NOT Vista) this laptop runs like a gem.

Due to the screen size it ...  Read the complete review

We bought 4 of these laptops 2.5 years ago for business use training people on CAD products.

This decreased over time as the battery deteriorated. As with most major manufacturers the laptops came encumbered with pointless HP brand antivirus suites, backup software, disc writing software and also Symantec trials ...  Read the complete review

I got this laptop for christmas, over two years ago and since then i have never been away from it. My beloved laptop can sometimes freeze, but i guess all computers do occasionally. It has an impressive, neat design and is very compact. The laptop is easy to carry around and does not weigh much. Windows Vista is ready built into the PC and includes many programmes within the computer eg paint, notepad etc. The letters on the keyboard of the laptop are of a reasonable size and has very easily understood images on the keys. However, the laptop gets extremely hot and caused red blotchiness on my leg after having it on too while which made me have to buy a heat absorbing ...  Read the complete review
