 Barely acceptable Dec 01, 2007
By Jason P. Gold
I purchased this notebook (on sale with a printer and backpack) as I hoped it would work as a multipurpose notebook. I need it for school, work and use it as an entertainment PC and occasional internet box at coffee shops. It is inadequate for each of these purposes except as an internet box.
I purchase this as a replacement for a stolen HP DV6131od which I loved. This is similar in many aspects, better in some respects, but its pitfalls well outweigh its good points. I purchased it from OfficeMax and tried to return it within 48 hours. OfficeMax refused to accept its return because I had opened the box. I will probably have to sue them. I will boycott their store forever, and urge others to do the same.
The Good Stuff:
The AMD Turion 64 processor is more than adequate, and comparable to the Intel core 2 Duo T5200 in the DV6131. It has 2Gig of memory, which is more than adequate for most uses. Memory througput is excellent as the system has a very high speed bus and DDR 5400 memory.
The keyboard surface is slightly angled unlike many notebooks, which tend to be boxy. I work as a paralegal and law clerk, which requires a great deal of typing. The angled keyboard makes typing much easier.
The cursor touchpad has an on-off switch right above the touchpad. The cursor pad on just about all notebooks is right below the keyboard, and you can inadvertently make the cursor jump by touching it. This makes it easier to use an external USB mouse and more functional as a work computer. It has a section on the cursor pad which works like a wheel on the mouse for quick up-and-down scrolling.
HP has QuickPlay buttons above the keyboard and its own proprietary software which make it functional as an entertainment PC. I very much like the voume controls and entertainment buttons.
The system has digital optical output (although it does not come with the adapter) for digital audio output and S-video output to connect into home theater system.
The Shortcomings:
The video processor is horribly inadequate. Videos and DVDs do not play as smoothly as I would like. This unit is marketed and sold as an entertainment PC. It is barely adequate for this purpose. Given the speed of the processor and front side bus, this is probably the result of an out of date video processing system.
It only comes with a 6 cell battery. Battery life is short -- about an hour and a half.
Vista Home Premium. Nuff said? Vista is, in my opinion, a major mistake. It is incapable of running much of the business software I use. Further, Vista Home Premium, which comes installed, has much of the commercial networking capabilities of Vista Ultimate and Business disabled. Knowing the problems with Vista, I bought this with the intent to downgrade the software. However, HP does not provide much support for Windosws XP. The drivers are available, but HP does not publish them on its website with this computer. HP does not have XP install disks for this computer.
Benchmarks:
The following benchmarks show the video processor is horrible by current standards:
3dMark2001 = 3315
3dMark2003 = 1036 (It is interesting to note that the CPU tests run the same tests at a faster frame rate than the video processor!)
3dMark2006 = 194
Overall benchmark scores:
Performance Test PassMark 6.1 = 372
PC Wizard = 2422.55
Subsequently, I downgraded the OS to XP Professional. Some very bright customer service tech at HP sent me a list of all of the XP drivers for the system. With the old XP o/sand got the following scores:
3dMark 2001 = 4610
3dMark 2003 = 1132
PC Wizard 2523.64
Performance Test Passmark 6.1 = 398
So, the system does better with a downgrade in the O/S, however, you loose all of the fun stuff (i.e., Quickplay) that is incorporated into this entertainment PC.
awesome!!!! Mar 23, 2011
By R. Peters
This computer is awesome!!! It is great for gaming, searching the web, and anything else!!
I used vista at first, but that's too slow.
So I bought windows 7, that's much better! It does have a cd/dvd drive

By Hayden
perfect first laptop. got at 16. lots of memory but doesnt seem to last long. needs more ram, good for personal use and movies and such. kind of slow over time but that is people i have so much on mine now. have to clean often. would love a nice new computer but for now no complaints, it works for now.
Don't bother Oct 15, 2010

I only buy HP laptops but this version has issues.
After a year the laptop over heats and burns out don't buy.
I recommend getting a laptop cooling pad if you do purchase.
