Honest reviews on Dell Latitude E5530 15.6" LED Notebook Intel Core i5-3210M 2.50 GHz

I am a 67 year that is not very good with the computer but had an old desktop that has become outdated. I recently gave up internet dial up service and have since come up to the latest.....I love this Dell laptop Windows 8 but probably should have bought one with touch screen but this is quiet an update for me so will be happy with it. I did purchase it with the number keypad because I am use to using that feature. I felt the price was very good for this unit. It has been a challenge for me to learn Windows 8 but am determined to proof to my grown kids I can do it! They tried to discourage me from Windows 8 thinking I would never be able to use it. So far so good!

Acer is a good quality product and the i3 is fast, but definitely more affordable than the i5 or i7, which is why I chose it. You will have to buy a Microsoft Office, as it does not come with the computer, but for the price, it's still good.

Got this for a Christmas present from Walmart.

First the good part: it weighs much less than my old Acer, it cost $338.00, has a webcam [works fine], it is very quiet, and everything seems to be working normally.

Second: I received some vista cd's [btw this is a windows 7] and I can't seem to download them and so far they will not allow XP either.

That's about it right now will see about it in about a month. Anne from Indiana

Cheap Acer Aspire V5-571P-6464 15.6" Touch Screen Laptop - Intel Core

Customer Ratings:

I bought this because I wanted a touch screen for Windows 8.

It includes Windows 8 and the touch screen is wonderful. Once you use Windows 8 with a touch screenyou'll get it. The keyboard is backlita first for me and something I find it convenient in low light.

The touch pad is huge! I'm not sure why, but it doesn't have a scroll region. At least, that I've found. I'm downloading the manual now to find out how to enable it.

Speaking of downloadingthis is one area of Acer support that is frustrating. I'm attempting to download the 96MB manual form the Acer US support site and it's so slow. The estimated download time is over 30 minutes! Come on Aceryou can do better than this.

One of the other reviewers mentioned that the plastic case flexes and it's true. To me this isn't a big deal I don't need an industrial strength case and would rather they use the minimal amount of materials to make something that (in the US) will eventually end up in a landfill.

Overall I'm very pleased with this notebook. This is a slim design that's lite weight and is convenient to carry. It's very quiet and runs cool.

My friend bought this for my eight year old daughter. She insisted on having a touch screen. I had some misgivings on this one due to the other reviews on Acer products having internet issues. This does have some issues in that regard. It isn't consistent though. My daughter uses the internet for school. (she is home schooled) There were days when she'd have to reconnect 3 times in an hour then not again for a few days. Frustrating but not a deal killer. It would only be a real issue if you were playing an online game. I tried to download the new driver, which it did but it won't find it when I search for it. To be honest I haven't tried it again; my daughter doesn't complain about it that much.

The case does seem flimsy but she's had the computer for about 3 months now and it's holding up fine. The touch screen works well, even if it doesn't get used much. Even my eight year old prefers the mouse for most things. The screen itself is very bright and movies look good on it.

The touch pad doesn't work as well as the one the HP I had did. It doesn't seem to be sensitive enough to catch the Win. 8 swipes. I don't know if that can be adjusted or not. I haven't looked.

The keyboard is a typical island keyboard and the back lighting is good. It can be turned on or off; so that is helpful. I only wish there was a light or notice if you turn on/off the cap or number locks. The only way to know if either of these is on or off is to just start typing. It resets the number lock to off when you turn off the computer or switch users. Frustrating, all my other computer default to this being on not off.

Once you get used to Win. 8 this is a good computer. It plays the games she wants to play; specifically Sims3. It also plays a few others but as they weren't designed for Win 8 there are a few glitches. This isn't an issue with the computer though, I know it would play them fine if not for Win 8.

We got this computer when it was a little cheaper and my daughter is very happy with it. I would have preferred it to have more RAM memory though. That was a trade off though for the touch screen. All in all it is a decent computer.

Cheap Dell D620 Laptop Duo Core with Windows XP

Customer Ratings:

The Dell Latitude line of notebooks are well built business machines. The Latitudes and XPS lines are a tier higher than the entry-level Inspiron Series.

The case is constructed of metal with plastic trim along the LCD monitor. There are 4 USB ports which allow for a variety of peripherals to be attached such as portable hard drives. There is a headphone and microphone jack and an outlet for a monitor. The keyboard is comfortable to the touch. In addition to the mousepad, there is a pointing stick with 2 buttons below the space key, allowing for either to control the cursor. The 'spill proof' keyboard is one of the biggest assets (I have only spilled a drink on it once, where I just wiped off the keyboard without a problem in function).

The WIFI capabilities is reliable and easy to set up. The hard drive is quiet, as is the optical drive. The strike zone hard drive is resistant to light drops.

Performance of the notebook is excellent with the Dual Core processors. This notebook easily handles virus scanning, working on a MS Office document, internet browser and listening to music without any problem. The integrated graphics allows for basic games like Tiger Woods Golf, Mafia, NHL Hockey, the Godfather, for example.

Battery life is very good for the 6 cell (about 4 hours).

One of the greatest attractions that I have for this line of notebooks is the lack of 'bloatware' unnecessary programs that are installed into your computer (trial programs, multiple internet service providers, advertisements, etc).

Overall, with a spill resistant keyboard and drop zone hard drive, this notebook will take the daily knocks of the regular commuter. This is no Panasonic Toughbook but it will survive your daily use.

VERDICT

Highly recommend this notebook.

I purchased the D620 for my daughter in college when her 2 yr old HP notebook died due to an overheating problem (long story). After verifying that the D620 worked properly by connecting to the internet and installing XP SP 3, I moved over one of the RAM chips (for a total of 1.5 GB) and the harddrive from the HP. I then installed Windows 7 and recovered her data files (I didn't really expect a college student to use the flash drives that I gave her for backups). Finally, I installed software including Office 7. Throughout the process the D620 performed flawlessly. I tested it by running DVDs, Office apps and videos over the internet (after I set up a wireless connection). This is one fine notebook, very fast and with a good display. Its only "short comings" are obvious from the specs, i.e., no web cam, no media slots and no DVD burner. But these are clearly minor issues given the price.

I didn't have a lot of money to spend on a computer and all of the chain stores that I had gone into to buy a computer did not have the service or the selection that I wanted. I was hesitant to purchase a computer "on-line" but now I am glad that I did. The computer was exactly what I wanted (Amazon gives you more information up front on what you are purchasing than any other place that I had tried), and I received it within two days. I have not had one problem or complaint. Well done.

Honest reviews on Dell D620 Laptop Duo Core with Windows XP

I used the same laptop at work for the about the last 3 years, and it is a work horse. I can buy a brand new commercial laptop for couple hundred bucks more, but I wanted the reliability of the professional business laptop. I have to say this used business machine Laptop works well except for 3 problems: First, the battery only lasts 5 minutes, second, the DVD burner drive work sporadically (DVD door doesn't eject consistently, and it doesn't always detect the DVD or CD in it). Handed the laptop to my 11 year old daughter few weeks after purchase (Christmas gift), so I did not find out about these problems until 2 month after purchase. Contacted the seller, but the warrantee had expired after 30 days of purchase, so I have to buy a battery and drive on my own. Third thing, the XP pro operating system was loaded on the computer, but the recovery disks were not included; I hope the hard the hard drive doesn't crash sometime soon.

To read one of the other reviews one would think the reviewer is talking about a completely different machine. My family has two of these and we have experienced none of the problems that the other reviewer has mentioned. XP is a very stable platform and we'll see if Windows Seven will live up to the hype. As far as poor sound I wonder compared to what? I've had several different laptops and netbooks and they sound tinny compared to the D620. Besides, I hook the machine up to external powered speakers to listen to my music library.

Let's face it. If Dell built poor quality equipment they wouldn't be in business as long as they have been.

This is one great piece of equipment.DELL LATITUDE D620 14.1" WXGA

I order a 14" Ibook, and i am stunned! This Ibook may be considered out dated...BUT is really great for every day use! Sure you may need to set up for your first Internet's use... but when every thing is all done and put in it is well worth it! I used to be a windows person, but now that i found what i have been missing for rek. time, it feels fun to be on a computer again. AND to top things off most of the service i have been receiving on this product is AMAZING! I ran into a bump with the product its self(battery was no good)i am currently working on getting one...is on the way not at my expense... This is a must have laptop at the price along with uses... This lap top comes with the software you need... you don't need any other software... because its everything you need. I was really hoping this thing wouldn't replace my windows and something to give to my older brother for school. but this devise belly's up to the bar, now i just want to throw away that windows 7. it my be a down grade of software, it is smooth it is speedy.

The product its self comes neatly packed, BEAUTIFUL and clean... devise which i expected had some usage on it but grate. i really appreciate the seller: Narby-Ken I am in-pressed. JUST SO EVERYBODY knows i am not being paid for this review.

Besides the fact that the iBook did not come with the Classic Environment installed as advertised, it has run flawlessly for three months.

I love the keyboard, it works perfectly with a two button mouse and scrollbutton, and it does a bootable backup to a Firewire external drive using Silverkeeper.

Tiger is a very nimble operating system and runs in 1/3 the ram as my iMac and actually surfs the web faster than my iMac.

This isn't the perfect laptop. I know it and it's my first one. There are many this it can't do, so make sure you know the details before buying it. But i find that it is perfect for my needs. I has Microsoft office, I can watch youtube, movies (with the dvd) surf the web and the seller even had final cut pro which was a bonus.

Recommendation for future owners:

Consider updating to mac OS 10.5 and up (preferably work it out with your seller) Mine came with 10.4.11 which works, but a lot of software I've tried to download require 10.5.3 or so and up which gets frustrating. Thankfully Sims 2 works with even lower software than 10.4 which was something short of a miracle but do your research when looking for games and other software

Buy ASUS G46VW-DS51-CA Republic of Gamer (ROG) (14.1-inch, I5-3230M

Customer Ratings:

I will touch on some pros and cons, although i'm not sure why i'm the first person to write a review on this particular model. Odd. If you're worried about the size, don't, this thing has the exact same amount of power and performance as it's big brothers. And you can actually get it cheaper elsewhere. The corners that Asus has cut are as follows.

-Many people are turned away by the "mat" type screen, and lower resolution because of it's size. But honestly this makes for maxed out performance on today's games because of it's limited resolution. Even though it's 720 don't let it fool you, it makes consoles look very bad, still out does them by a long shot.

-Another corner that has been cut (for price) is there is no optical drive, so you'd better be a "digital" gamer, or purchase yourself an external burner (like I did), to load older game discs. There is actually plenty of room on the right side of the unit for one to fit, but then again there is a lot under this hood, so it may have been to crammed.

-This laptop only has the standard 5400rpm HDD that 90% of laptops today come with. The bigger models seems to all have the 7200rpm drive. You'd think we would have surpassed these speeds now, or just have all laptops come with a Solid State drive. Which some do have both. This cuts cost as well. It doesn't slow down gaming all, but you may find windows 8, and surfing the web to not be as quick, even with the 2.5 I5 3rd gen processor. Slightly sluggish, but not a deal breaker.

-Terrible terrible Intel Centrino Wireless, which has been the cheapest adapter on the market for years. Ahteros and Broadcom definitely being the best. Why they continue to use this even in some of the more expensive models is beyond me. I've worked on countless laptops with this adapter in it, and they all have VERY weak signals, or drop a lot. So i already had a netgear adapter for my gaming desktop. So i decided to use it, which works great. No fluctuating speeds now.

So that's mostly the cons, now onto the pros.

-Metallic brushed finish now replaces the one rubberized material on the hand rests. Which use to peal off in small chunks. Although the top is still made of this material it's a lot tougher than before.

-No flex to be found on the keyboard. Although having a 14 inch takes some getting use to, for typing. And the backlit keyboard with 3 different brightness options is great.

-All 3.0 UBS ports, though i would have preferred 4, since I now have the adapter plugged into it. And use a small gaming mouse on the other. No big deal. Good fast transferring of files.

-GTX 660m 2 GB DDR5 is actually overkill for this little beast. But thats a BIG plus, runs everything on high smooth as silk.

Checkout NOTEBOOK CHECK . COM for more specs on it. It also has the Intel HD 4000 GPU, and when you left click it gives you the option of which one to use on each game.

-Awesome speakers, just right for movies, music, and extremely good for games. Actually has an HD surround sound to it. Very good panning.

-The overall fell is very sturdy, no it's not an ultrabook, but it is small and "semi" light. Much better for totting around than the big 17 inch beasts. Great to take anywhere, and game.

-Battery life is great, and depending on your tasks anywhere from 5 to 8 hours. Even though i'm not thrilled about the battery being built it.

So that's about it, with a 750gb hdd, the card, speakers, 8 gigs of ram, and all the other bells and whistles, this is the best portable gaming laptop on the market. I think Alienware is pretty decent, but a big overpriced, and it seems everyone goes for those. And Dell makes them now, so i'll pass.

On one last note I had a few quirks or odd experiences. At one point after bringing this out of sleep mode, it automatically just shut off. But never did it again. No idea why. Also sometimes the Nvidia card will deactivate itself randomly, but never during a game. Could be a windows 8 or driver issue. Nothing major (yet). So while it has it's flaws, to me the good definitely outweighs the bad. And Asus rated number 2 this year right under Mac Book for reliability. So hopefully that holds true. Get one while you can for a good price. It's really worth it considering some of the "other junk" in this price range. Later.

I purchased this product last year at best buy. The next week it wouldn't turn on. I returned it to best buy and they informed me that the entire product was I quote "fried". They then kindly provided me with another laptop. I took it to my home and decided I would test its gaming performance. This is not a product that was ever meant to be unplugged the atrocious fps that I received while running games low settings was shocking. I then proceeded to plug it in and watch my fps increase by at least 65. The computer broke again a month later I brought it into best buy where they informed me that my ac adapter was not properly functioning and they had none in stock. I then contacted Asus who had me send in my laptop for quite a large fee. I received a new ac adapter and my problem was solved or so I thought 2 weeks later and now my laptop wont turn on I have no conception of what the problem could be this time but let me tell you this. This is by far the most flawed product i have ever purchased Asus customer support is awful and I now have to purchase a new laptop. I lost more money on this product than it was worth. It may look impressive but don't let that fool you its a cheap flawed over priced piece of hardware I wish I had never encountered.

Discount Acer Aspire 7738G-6006 17.3-Inch Notebook PC

Customer Ratings:

The laptop looks very nice, doesn`t look like a cheap made to me and it's almost perfect.

1.Fingerprint doesn`t work very good. You will have to slide your finger at least 10 times so it recognizes you.

2.Somehow the fingerprint is activating while you're using the touchpad and the touchpad buttons. Sometimes very often, which is annoying.

3.The laptop speakers very often are making bad noise, even if it's not that high(50% volume for example)

4.I don`t know if it is because of the laptop or the OS(which is the original one it came with), but sometimes it just freezes, and you have to force it to shut down and turn on again. Never happened while playing games, so I think its because of the OS. Not very sure about this one.

For the price I bought this product I am still very satisfied, all other features are fine. The graphics are great(better than expected), CPU is working great(doesn`t overheat), sound quality is really good(on headphones and/or digital sound system) and etc.

I recently purchased an imac 27" quad core to do some video editing only to realize I couldn't burn 3 hours on a SD-DVD 4.7 Disc. When I tried to use Roxio's Apple Version of Toast and Popcorn I could; but, they would only burn the videos and drop all of my formatting. So, I was really feeling frustrated.

This is where the Acer comes in. I talked to some computer experts (and did my own research) and they understood my pain and frustrations and recommended that I get back into a windos environment to do the video editing. They recommended this machine because of the space, graphics, sound, and overall good looks.

While I have not used a laptop before let me say I like this one because of the construction (it doesn't look cheaply made), price, and what I needed to do some video editing. Having already put more money into the Apple imac than I wanted to I just purchased this machine and only added Roxio Creator 2010 Pro edition. I've added an external speaker to boost the sound a bit and I am now doing my video editing with little are no trouble and burning how much I want on a disc.

The overall weight of the machine is just right. It is network ready for those who travel and need wireless. The screen has one of the richest colors that I've seen on any computer screen well next to the apple. The keys have the right feel to them considering they're compact and the feel is extra nice when keying.

Operating Roxio with Windows 7 has not been any problem at all. The only critical down load I needed was an update for my video capture device so that it is recognized by window 7. I did add the virus software bitdefender(?). Transferring music either by flash drive or disc is a breeze as well. The speaker sound really nice; however, I prefer to use an external speaker. The Intel Core 2 Duo Processor T66002.20GHz is fast and really handles things well. This is the amount of space I have: 4GB (2/2) DDR3 1066 SDRAM /320GB SATA hard drive although I have only 225gb free. Roxio is a rather huge program. I haven't worked with this much; but, the Fingerprint reader built-in is a nice touch.

I've mention that speakers. This is the only con that I have as that they don't blast you out of the room. However, I am glad I have the NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M Graphics graphics card so I would expect a sacrifice somewhere.

Once again, I plan on using this for video editing; but, hor those that travel and need a laptop for video presentations as well as wireless and space to hold things this is it. Acer has been around for awhile from what I've been told so I'm glad I took the plunge.

Honest reviews on Acer Aspire 7738G-6006 17.3-Inch Notebook PC

This Acer laptop is the second one I've had and as the first one (6930G series) it provides a huge set of features for the price: bright and hi-res scree, acceptable processor speed and most important, an acceptable GFX card. Both laptops are used for designing in 3D Architectural programs, as like as light work in 3DS, and light gaming. The bigger screen of the 17.3" really adds to this role, as it provides a huge improvement over the widescreen 15.6-16" panels with just 768p being glossy is not a great feature, but most of the competitors have similar or worse panels (believe it or not) selling for a lot more $...

Unfortunately, tho my 6930G running vista had no stability problems, this laptop did crash in several occasions. I really cannot say if there is a hardware problem or a problem specifically related with this laptop running Win 7...i'm really tempted to return it, tho i will miss it...

EDIT: like many other laptops with early versions of Windows 7, this machine will become way more stable once you do a clean install of Win 7

First of all, this is a budget laptop -this is not a monster that cost nearly a grand, so you have to keep your expectations in check. This laptop works quite well for daily tasks. The screen is low-resolution, but that is par for the course for this price point. The processor is quite adequate, and the graphics performance is nice for light gaming. 640 GB hard drive is nice and roomy. Really, I found only two negatives:

1) The CPU is capable of handling dual-channel RAM, but it only comes with one RAM module. Add a 2nd module to get a nice memory bandwidth boost -this should make the CPU and the graphics just a little bit faster. Note that mine came with a low-voltage 4G module, so I had to hunt for another low-voltage one to put in there (I added a Samsung).

2) The optical drive does not handle marginal-quality discs as well as other drives do. How often do you use an optical drive, though?

If you can grab this at a good price, go for it.

Apple Macbook Pro quad-core Intel Core i7 2.3GHz 4GB 750GB DVDRW BT Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This is the first review that I'm writing and, I feel this machine deserves every word.

Recently had a Mac Book Pro which had a history of several hardware issues, and, ended up replacing the unit through Apple Care with a Mac Book Pro 17" Quad Core i7 with 8GB of RAM.

The unbelievable power of this machine had made my Power Mac G5 Quad 4 officially obsolete. This system is best describe as a portable desktop. As a commercial photographer I am pretty demanding when it comes to graphics and graphic software, and this machine certainly keeps up with anything and everything that throw at it and, more. It's also hooked up to Cinema Display and, the footprint compared to a desktop is minimal. Power wise, I use to have to wait for CS5 to open, now its almost instantaneous. Processing 40mb images are a breeze, in addition to being so quiet it's hard to tell whether it's on. I will say through I ordered a shell cover for it, seems that the case is much more prone to scratches and dents due to what seems like a thinner skin.

Again if your looking for something that has the power of a desktop but, need portability, then I would go with this latest in Mac Book Pros.

If you have the cash, I would suggest spending a bit extra to get this fantastic machine.

This is as much computer as anyone is ever going to need. I worked in graphic design for 4 years, and I upgraded to this laptop last year. Huge improvements, works like a charm since I've gotten it. And since the announcement of the Retina Macbook Pros, this is one of the last and most updated 17" Macbook Pro's that anyone will be able to get!

Reviews of Toshiba Satellite C655-S5195

Customer Ratings:

Don't listen to the other guy. Maybe his standards are really high, who knows. Not many Dell owners are that smart. Anyway, I've owned this laptop for about seven months and it's treated me well for it's price. Plenty stable, fine battery life, multitasks like a dream. I don't know what kind of stress you put your system under, but I can leave my video editing program open, convert massive videos and still carry through multiple operations without any lag or screw ups. My only complaint is that it comes with loads of Toshbia software to try and make things easier. Who knows? Maybe your mom or little brother would get something out of it but I can fare just fine on my own. Not a bad idea to strip it down and just run what you need. Believe me, the price is right and this guy does well for himself; you won't regret it.

This laptop is amazing, especially for the price! I don't know why one reviewer had trouble doing multiple things on his laptop, I don't know what programs the person was using... but I am able to run a browser, burn a DVD, edit a movie, and listen to iTunes at the same time with no problems at all.

The family really enjoys using this computer. It has great storage capacity. The built in number pad was an excellent plus that I did not realize it had until it came!

Honest reviews on Toshiba Satellite C655-S5195

I have had this laptop for a few months and it is one of the worst computers I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. It is horribly unstable, has poor power handling, and fails to be able to multitask at een the simplest level. I will be going back to a two year old Dell that was more stable and ran better once Windows 7 was installed. DO NOT BUY THIS.

This laptop has amazing capabilities for the price. My only complaint is that I have not been able to install Windows 7x64 Ultimate, and HP's response is that it does not support Win 7x64.

I am a technical co-founder for a health tech startup. I needed a laptop for road warrior demos of clinical data warehouse analyses, and this fit the bill.

I bought it in the following configuration: 1080p screen resolution with internal 32GB SSD, 125W power supply, 2GB video card, oversized battery, 8GB RAM, 750GB 7200rpm disk. I then upgraded to 16GB RAM and added an additional 1TB 5200RPM Hitachi internal drive. The second internal drive required purchasing an OEM drive caddy and cable for $45.

The backlit keyboard is ever so cool... I have wanted something like this for years.

I replaced the existing 2 800MHz 4GB DIMMs with 2 666MHz 8GB DIMMs. The BIOS recognized the lower-speed DIMMs, and adjusted the interface appropriately.

I'm now running a 16GB RAM/1.75 TB disk laptop.

My workaround for Windows 7 compatibility is to run a Windows 7x64 virtual box client on the machine.

The machine runs MS SQL Server 2012 without a problem. SQL Server database performance is on a par with comparably-equipped desktop machines.

Network data transfers: with Jumbo Frame support set to 6KB, I get 118MB/sec network transfers over a gigabit switch; best I've seen in a notebook-class computer.

The USB 3.0 ports transfer data from an external Seagate 2TB 7200RPM drive to the internal 750GB 7200RPM drive at 100 to 125MB/sec.

The internal 32GB SSD consistently transfers data at 191MB/sec.

The internal 750GB 7300rpm drive transfers data at 70 to 125 MB/sec, averaging 97MB/sec.

The 1TB 5400rpm drive that I added to the second drive bay transfers data at 50 to 104 MB/sec, averaging 82MB/sec.

I haven't tested the BluRay movie playback capability.

Does everything the description says. Runs very smoothly. Most of the Windows 8 kinks have been worked out already. I personally enjoy windows 8 more than any previous operating system. The learning curve is small for anyone tech savvy, though it may not be the best OS for business purposes. Love the fingerprint reader combined with the HP Simple Pass. Truly a desktop replacement. Should last me many years with the current hardware, though I'm sure Ill drop and break it before it is outdated, as is when I usually upgrade.

Honest reviews on HP ENVY DV7-7212nr Windows 8 Notebook PC

I did much product research on notebooks prior to this purchase, and finally settled on this one. The biggest reason I was shopping for a new laptop was to handle the loads of graphics work in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. I work occasionally on very large .psd files, and my former laptop would really bog down. This new HP ENVY is indeed as advertised and as expected. I have done a considerable amount of photo editing work, and it is superb. I do plan to upgrade the RAM to 16GB, but haven't encountered a situation where I really needed it yet. This notebook is a very competent system, and better than most for the price. The only feature I wish this laptop had is Lightscribe capabilities.

There is much hubbub about Windows 8, and here is my two cents: I have been well-experienced in every Windows platform since ME, so I feel I have a pretty good grasp of both consumer-level interaction and tech-level interaction. From a consumer point of view, I think Windows 8 is very good. While having a touchscreen would be a big advantage, I find that the multi-touch pointing device does a considerable job, and makes W8 very easy to use. Before purchasing or upgrading a PC to W8, make sure it has either touchscreen or multi-touch capabilities in my opinion, a must!

I am 99.9% pleased with this purchase, and recommend it highly to anyone looking for a desktop replacement processing power on a budget.

This laptop is beautiful, thin and loaded; lightning fast, 32 GB Flash Cache, 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M graphics, Blu-ray player, Backlit keyboard, incredible 4 speakers 1 subwoofer, and exclusive 2-year warranty.

I want to thank Eluktronics Inc for a perfect transaction. You have to love these guys, Eluktronics Inc at Amazon. 4 hours after placing the order for the HP ENVY dv7-7212nr, the order was shipped, free shipping. And what a pleasant information exchange, email messages about all the process, right when it was happening; it doesn't get better than this. The delivery was the next business day, unheard of. If you want to feel secure about your purchase and, more important, your money, buy with total confidence from Eluktronics Inc at Amazon, I highly recommend them.

There's something I want to mention that HP forgot to do. To let you know that the 9-cell battery makes this thin laptop a lot taller in the back, something you're not expecting at all. If you need the laptop to be flat in the bottom, you will be better with the 6-cell battery. Eluktronics Inc have a 6-cell battery with 5400 Mah (5.4 Ah) that last longer than the one at the HP website with 2800 (2.8). This 6-cell 5400 Mah battery last around 6 hours.

The HP ENVY dv7-7212nr is a magnificent laptop, supreme in its class. Believe me, this is the third one I've tried.

Cheap Dell XPS M1330 13.3" Tuxedo Black Laptop Computer

Customer Ratings:

I purchased XPS M1330 on March 2008. Based on a year of usage, I do not recommend this product.

Let me layout the good things about this computer first. The screen quality is very good and shiny (I bought the Slim light-LED display for additional money). The colors are very good. The system does not come with a load of unnecessary software and does not slow the performance. The keyboard feel and comfort is excellent.

However, the hardware integration of this computer is weak. In less than 8 months, the graphics card was completely dead. The mother board was replaced by Dell. Worst of all the problems is the audio skipping and stuttering during just about anything, playing DVDs, listening to music (either from the harddrive or from an external harddrive), or just working. If you search the web for XPS M1330 audio skipping, you'll notice that many other individuals have the same problem. There is a resource conflict between the sound card and the other components of the computer. Dell is aware of this, yet, they still ship out the computers with this problem. Apparently, the Sigmatel, the sound card for Dell, and its drivers are responsible for this. Even if you remove the Sigmatel drivers, you'll hear the audio skipping. My motherboard was replaced second time after consistent errors by the sound card. Still, I hear the audio skipping. I tried all the temporary workarounds that were suggested by many people in forums. But to no avail.

In sum, I do not recommend this product. This is one of the premium lines of Dell products. It is supposed to be highest quality, because it is the highest in price. Yet, the hardware integration is sloppy and poor in quality. I personally regret going with Dell. Next time, I will seriously consider other options, such as HP, ASUS, Apple, etc.

I am now on my 3rd mother board. Each time it takes 5 to 6, 3-hour phone calls and at least a 7-10 days to get fixed (but usually not for long).

Deal with Dell at your own risk!

This is a solid laptop with great performance. I too was disappointed with the very dim display when running on battery until I figured out that Dell has set it that way in the system BIOS to persumably extend the battery charge. If you hit the F2 key while the laptop boots up you can enter the Setup and correct this. I moved it from a default setting of 3 to 6 and the display dims only slightly now on battery.

Be careful not to change other settings while in setup unless you know what you're doing. You could cause major problems.

Honest reviews on Dell XPS M1330 13.3" Tuxedo Black Laptop Computer

These dell laptops seems to have really bad hardware integration. Purchase at your own peril. This is my 4th or 5th laptops in the last few years, and by far the worst. I purchased the dell thinking it would be relatively decent, but I guess I missed all the posts of touchpad issues that should have served as a serious warning.

In short, the touchpad integration in these dell laptops are awful. Less than 90 days after purchasing this laptop, I started having issues with the touchpad being frozen resuming from standby. I'm relatively computer savvy, but nothing seems to fix it -I've replaced drivers, done a system restore to an earlier point, and done a full reinstall of vista, at a cost of close to a day. You can also find stories of people having dell replace motherboards, trackpad hardware, etc., and still can't get to the root of the issue. It's pretty scary. Just search on dell touchpad problems for more details on the variety of issues. I've also had problems with the DVD "disappearing", requiring a reboot to see the drive again. Dell has a community forum for issues, but it is worthless -there are many more unsolved issues than solved ones.

Overall, this is a very nice laptop, but with all the random hardware/device bugs, it is not my idea of a functional piece of hardware. I wish that I had read more negative reviews myself before purchasing, so maybe this advice will help others. Unless dell releases new drivers/BIOS, etc soon, it will be the last dell I ever buy.

This is the sixth Dell computer I own for work or home. I also own a couple macs and Thinkpads at work. This computer was purchased in Jan. 2008 and the mother board has been replaced three times, and the power adapter twice. None of the other computers I own have even needed service, just one Dell desktop that needed the hard drive replaced. Luckily on both I purchased the 3 year warranty (a must with Dell products). But the replacement and repair is slow and given the millions of problems experienced by other XPS 1330 owners just like or worse than mine--Dell is negligent in still marketing this product. Please don't waste your time or money.
