There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Its really irritating.
I did not spend £500 on a new computer so that I could not print or scan anything.
This pisses me off to the nth degree.
I have spent weeks on the customer services department with HP... with no result.
I am so pissed
People looking for a quick, reliable and overall solid laptop should definitely consider this. Nothing but praise for it.
I'm using it running the usual office applications as well as the more performance resource draining Adobe Creative Suite (32 & 64bit) and it runs without any issues, it handles large files with ease and I have no issues with its performance. Yes it does come with software you don't want but there again they all do so why pick this out as a fault?
I have also seen reviews saying it's not the best looking laptop in the world, true but nor is it ugly. It's not a fashion statement; that said I just wanted something that works and works well which this laptop does, get an ibook if you want to ponce about and spend twice as much at the same time.
I got mine for lower than the price shown here and I could not find any laptop with an i5 processor for anywhere near this price. I have also owned several makes of laptop including Samsung, Packard Bell, Toshiba, HP and Acer, all of these have been replaced due to component failure except for the Acer which is why I bought another, the build quality is as good and in my experience better than the other makes listed so I would recommend this make.
Ultimately do the research on what your buying and there is no reason why you should be disappointed.
The minor points for it are the small and quiet speaker, no USB 3.0 (but for the price I can't complain) and no bluetooth built in. All of which I can live without or work around quite easily.
The laptop is also very fast to load up and performs Office tasks without halt, which are both very useful as a student. Also, the full keyboard and elevated keys make this laptop very suitable for typing any length of work.
The combination of the i5 processor and Windows 7 makes this laptop highly recommended for a first-timer or an experienced user.
good luck
Unfortuately this model seems to be very slow in booting up and surfing the net. I have not used the hard drive up with pictures, itis not what I expected, i am very disappointed.
