this is a good looking and feeling unit. I especially like the fact that the key labelling is sharp, clear and large. The unit runs very cool and quietly. It has been performing well so far. The graphics are sharp and clear.

The big issue I had was the work required to get it under control. I like to manually set up a new machine including Internet setup so I don't get a bunch or redirects when on line. This is the first pc I have experienced where you have to go online thru their portal, the unit will not allow manual Internet setup. There were plenty of startup apps to get under control as well.

Once all that is done you have a good performing pc which also looks quite nice in my opinion. It is noticeably faster than my previous unit.

Recommended if you are willing to spend some extra time on setup or you don't care about that kind of thing. A good value.

Best Deals for Dell Inspiron i14z-2200sLV 14-Inch Ultrabook

This review is not about the Inspiron 14z since I never received one. I purchased it as "used, very-good" from Amazon Warehousedeals. It looks brand-new and well packaged. HOWEVER, mine will work only if plugged in, because of "battery not detected" error! It came with BIOS A04. Based on forums, I tried to update to A06 but it won't flash bios without a battery pack installed! While using service tag on Dell's website, I realized that I received an inspiron 13z (5323) instead of a 14z, thus a different product with smaller screen size!! Really?! I never had any problems with Amazon warehousedeals in the past, this time feel scammed and waste of my time. Return already on its way.

Discount ASUS U57A-BBL4 15.6" Laptop, Intel Core i5-2450M CPU, 6GB DDR3 RAM

Customer Ratings:

I bought this product about 2 months ago, strictly for school. I needed a laptop that had the storage room to hold all of my pictures, music, videos, and school files. All in all I've wasted about 150GB in just that, and to still have about 580GB to use, is GREAT. I also needed a laptop that could run editing programs, because of the i5 processor I could run multiple internet windows, iTunes, Photoshop CS5 Extended without it even slowing down a bit.

I don't mind that the keyboard is NOT back lit, like the previous review I also misunderstood and read that it WAS back lit. But at the end of the day it really makes no difference, yeah it would be a lot nicer but if you know how to type (which I'm assuming a majority of buyers know how to) it won't make a difference. It has a full keyboard so when I'm inputting numbers I don't have to go to the top row and input them horizontally. I personally, prefer inputting numbers vertically, I don't know with cellphones being that way, calculators and a heap of other devices to me this keyboards number pad feels great.

Don't get me wrong, not all of this laptop was shimmering gold to me. Let me begin by saying that none of these things I'm about to point out make me change how I feel about this laptop, the mouse pad is a little TOO sensitive. The first few days you find yourself being frustrated because you might close your windows because you grazed the mouse pad, or realize that you're no longer typing where you intended to. The good thing about this oh so sensitive touch pad is the fact that because it's so smooth and sensitive it responds EXTREMELY well.

The sound on this laptop can be a 9 to me, it handles all of my music well ranging from death metal to Chopin, or whatever I feel like listening to. The reason why I say it CAN BE a 9 is due to the fact that the speakers are, wait for it.....on the bottom. What? Yes, the speakers are on the bottom. As a student at first it really really pissed me off because what do students love to do? Do their homework comfortably on their bed. And if you don't have those little laptop stands like I don't, your sound becomes muffled and sounds like it's underwater. If the speakers weren't on the bottom it'd be a 9 but because of this I will give the sound a 6.5-9.

I want to touch one LAST thing before I conclude my review, the day I went to go purchase this laptop at Best Buy there was a disgruntled buyer returning this EXACT Laptop. He was complaining that the product description was false and that it did NOT have a memory card reader. It does, don't fret, it's a little hard to find but it's RIGHT BENEATH where the little stickers of INTEL and HDMI are. Just lift a little bit and you can see it there.

In conclusion, don't let the little flaws of this laptop stop you from buying it, I am actually considering purchasing another one for my Mom. You get your moneys worth and it will handle everything you do well. Oh and I know that there will be people looking for reviews on how well it handles games, the best it could handle (that I tested) was BF3 on normal settings.

I wouldn't call it the most sophisticated tech I ever bought, but after downloading Microsoft Office Home and Student (purchased separately), it's an affordable option that meets my needs. I think that's the key to any technology purchase--know your needs. Mine are emailing, writing, research, surfing, shopping, socializing, and other pretty low-level uses. If these are your needs as well, this is the machine for you.

I purchase this after getting a used acer 10.1" netbook and found the keyboard to small to do any real typing on it. This netbook has a fantastic 11.6" display that gives sharp video playback. The keyboard is good size and allows for easy typing. The weight and size make it very easy to carry around. On the negative side I wish the battery held a better charge and the touchpad can be a little over sensitive. I ended up getting a wireless mouse which solve my problem with the touchpad which I think is more me than the netbook. I have my netbook set up to dual boot into Windows 8 & Linux Mint 13. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.

This compact computer is efficient for simple needs such as surfing, letters, blogging and a few hidden games/solitaire. I love the color (Red) and how lightweight it is. I loaded StarOffice (thanks amazon) as not to purchase another expensive license. Star office is compatible with all office programs and it works similar to office XP (good enough for me). I digress, battery life is efficient for me and my needs. I purchased my system through Wal-Mart during a sale for $198.00 which is what I think this system is worth. Not good for high powered games or extensive wear and tear. Further, I hate Windows 8 who tested that thing. Its awful and after experiencing it on this computer, I'm definitely not upgrading even if they gave it to me for free. In addition, I agree with the mouse pad being sensitive and did exactly what another rater did, purchased a mouse and disabled it. It's a little slow to start and shut down hopefully, upgrading memory will help that.

All in all, I like my system. I took a star for Windows 8 hated it...

I like this laptop. The new windows 8 is really difficult to navigate but acer gives you the option of the acer desktop which is what non-windows 8 users are used to. it is light, quick and compact and is perfect for blogging and drafting documents. A good buy and worth the money.

This model was chosen for its combination of performance and price. It's great for home and small business use where portability is desired. Functions best with at least 4GB of memory (has 2GB stock). It's not good for high demand gaming as there isn't enough "horsepower". Battery life is about 4 hours, depending upon internet use. Complaints have been made about the wireless card dropping the signal frequently. My unit has the Broadcom wireless adapter. The driver provided is poor. Merely go to the Device Manager in Windows, select the Broadcom wireless 802.11n and replace the driver with the one provided by Microsoft (5.100.245.20). In addition, in the Power Options go to the Advanced portion and set the wireless adapter to "Maximum" on both battery and plugged in. This change avoids internet drops if the wireless is unused for several minutes. Very pleased so far let's see what the future holds.

UPDATE Aug 2013. This unit functions well for business use using programs such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc. It slows a bit if several programs are open at once. If that's a task parameter you need, get the I5 processor version which my wife uses. Internet function is fine with very good range and no drops. As noted previously, it's not good for demanding games. Nice and light for traveling. I'd buy it again for sure.

got this from a friend who had an issue with the secondary better power going bad which caused the screen to not turn one, fixed it and is working perfectly. Works good with what I need(online gaming). Some times a little slow when you first turn it on but it's a 5 year old laptop running windows 7 along with world of warcraft, that's not bad. The issue with the screen not turning on seems to be kind of common(seen a lot of people posting about it on other forums and stuff) but it wasn't a huge issue, boyfriend fixed it in a few hours after taking it apart and removing the bad part and now works like nothing was ever wrong. I love this laptop.

Buy HP Pavilion dv6-3150us 15.6-Inch Laptop PC - Up to 4.5 Hours of

Customer Ratings:

I previously had a refurbished HP that I purchased in 2001 and it finally passed away 2 years ago, and for the two years since I used a Dell laptop that I acquired through a Masters program, the Dell lasted a total of four years. My HP laptop lasted about 7 years total. Thats durability!

I was very impressed with my previous HP laptop and after doing my research purchased this HP dv6 3150. My main reason was because I wanted my laptop to boot up and process other things very quickly, and the Intel I-5 processor gets things done very quickly. I like the large screen, and am looking to purchase one for my mom for christmas. When I bought this, I didnt pay too much attention to the other perks, I was just focused on the screen size and I-5 processor. This laptop comes with a backlight, so if I'm working in dim light, I can turn the backlight on and my keys light up. And I didnt know that it also came with the finger print identifier, so when I log on, I can log on using either a password, or just swipe my finger. I think my mom will get a real kick out of that when she gets hers.

As of this date, I havent tested out the web cam features just yet.

My reason for purchasing this laptop is for home use. I plan on taking classes next semester and I know that creating powerpoints and other documents isnt going to be a problem. It's a great laptop and I'm very happy with my purchase.

I've been looking all for for a laptop with reasonable specs. I wanted a 15" screen, 4GB memory, an i5 processor, and 4+ hour battery life for under $800.00. I really thought this HP was going to be the solution. On paper it looks great. Unfortionaitely after unpackaging it and using it for a while I was really dissapointed. The touchpad on it is really hard to use out of the box. I was able to update the drivers and Synpatic software which enabled me to adjust the zone size and sensitivity but it's still hard to use. The keyboard is also poorly laid out. HP in their infinite wisdom decided to put any extra colum of keys on the left hand side. This doesn't look like a big deal in the pictures but in practice it's very annoying because every time I put my hands on the keyboard I'm hitting the wrong keys. The screen was comparable to other laptops in this price range / resolution but that isn't necessarily a plus. It's fine for web browsing and productivity apps but I wouldn't want to use it for serious Photoshop work or gaming.

On the plus side the laptop seems to be reponsive and doesn't come with to much bloatware. After running for a while the fans will kick into high occasionally but the laptop doesn't get very warm. I also appreciated the smooth lines and relatively thin look. The battery life was approximately 4.5 hours as specified with Wifi turned on.

If it wasn't for the keyboard and mouse problems I'd have given it 4 stars and kept it. As is though I've decided to return it and look elsewhere.

I must first admit that I am not a techie and bought this for home use.

But I love this laptop. The screen is crystal clear and I love the slimness of the product. I did not buy it for the fingerprint reader but have found that I really enjoy storing all my internet passwords so I do not have to fumble for them each time I log on. The fingerprint reader was simple to set up and use. I use a wireless mouse much of the time so did not find the mouse pad a problem, but even when I use the mouse pad I did not experience the stiffness that other users complained about. The keyboard set up is a little unusual with extra keys on the side, but it only took me minutes to get used to the lay out and I rarely misstype.

The best thing about this laptop is the speed. The Intel i5 processor is lightning fast and worth every cent.

I cannot find a thing that I don't like about this laptop! Would buy again in a heartbeat.

Honest reviews on HP Pavilion dv6-3150us 15.6-Inch Laptop PC - Up to 4.5 Hours of

I have had it for a day and even though I normally do not post reviews I just wanted to share with potential buyers. Reason being that all the concerns I had from the few negative reviews on HP pavil dv6 laptops have all been alleviated :

1. keyboard layout extra keys on the left.

The extra keys on the left have not caused me too much confusion. Some keys may appear to be slightly misaligned but I think it is no different from most laptop keyboards where compromises have been made for space. I got used to the keyboard pretty quickly and I have only had it for a day.

2. keyboard layout function keys on the top changed

The F1 -F12 keys can be changed back to traditional usage in the bios. Just turn off "action keys".

3. touchpad buttons Yes, they are a bit stiff but I do not use them that often since I tap the touchpad for left click. I also read from one reviewer that they loosen up after a few weeks, so I am counting on that happening too.

4. Initially the sound was not working. I rebooted to fix that but it was echoing a lot I then realized I *may* have accidentally turned on microphone recording causing horrible echo feedback. I turned off the microphone and everything is fine.

Overall I am quite pleased with the laptop. It is fast and of reasonable weight. I also needed the keyboard light which works well.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

UPDATE on 2/26 (after 3 weeks) :

Still works well. The battery power is not as good as advertised but good enough for my mostly home usage. If you do mostly web browsing with no video then I can see it maybe getting close to advertised. I have not tested this. I am programmer and developing software on this laptop significantly reduces the battery time.

The touchpad buttons have loosened up slightly, I expect it to get better. It helps a lot if you click towards the middle of the touchpad.

Overall, I am yet to see a laptop I would trade this for at the same price. The more I compare this with equally priced and more expensive VAIO i5 laptops, I realize how good the build quality is on this laptop.

I am also pleasantly surprised with how much I am liking Windows 7. (I run Linux on my desktop!)

I purchased laptop + push2tv bundle. Haven't bought a computer in retail for a long time always was buying custom configured. But, the specs and WiDi addition was a great selling point.

Computer has few nice options wireless display, fingerprint reader, lighted keyboard, quick access buttons. The only thing that I had to add was bluetooth adapter. Watching movies from internet on HDTV was a blast awesome picture when using HDMI (a/v connection is not even worth trying if you can use HDMI).

I was very excited about this computer and for 90% of actions it is great. However, I plug it into my Samsung DLP via HDMI and it won't show the TV. My HP connects perfectly. Samsung support absolutely no help. More important, I tried to connect it to my home group (my HP and Gateway connect perfectly) and it won't connect. I call a tech guy out and he says it is a samsung issue. I call samsung and they won't even do any diagnostics other than to say if the drivers show they work then that is all they do. I have now had 2 problems and Samsung has been useless. So long as everything is working, it is a great computer, once there is a problem, you are on your own. I won't but from them again.

Okay, This was a great purchase for the price. I researched all possible competing laptops and none came close. After using this product for a month, I have concluded the following:

Pros:

1. Speed of computer is superb

2. Starcraft 2 on ULTRA settings run flawlessly

3. Can run multiple games (Counterstrike, diablo 3, and starcraft with no lag simultaneously)

Cons:

1. Hard drive could be faster 5400rpm. If you have a a little extra money then just replace the hard drive with a SSD.

2. Screen sometimes looks a little grey. But thats during daylight. At night its awesome.

So concluding, I would definitely recommend this to any wanting a high end gaming laptop for a reasonable price.

I had pretty high hopes for this laptop considering the incredible reviews from multiple online retailers. The laptop is indeed very sturdy, and based on the specs seems like a really great buy. But there's a reason this laptop seems like a great deal:

1. It comes with a ridiculously large amount of bloatware. Upon initial boot you'll find dozens of useless programs.

2. It doesn't come with Office.

3. The screen resolution is poor for the price. Definitely a visible step down from G75VW-TS72 screen.

4. The touchpad has a raised bump on it. This could just be a defect with the one I received. It's just noticeable enough to be annoying.

Overall I would recommend spending a little more to get a better model.

Review of LATITUDE E5400 P8600 2.53G 2GB SYST160GB DVDRW 14.1IN C2D WVB/XPP

Customer Ratings:

Note: My company gave me this laptop for work purposes. I've used it for over a month now. I didn't pay for it, so don't know what the cost of this laptop is elsewhere on the internet or in stores.

Build: Looks like a good sturdy laptop for office use. Durability wise, no problems so far.

It does feel heavy for it's size though. It is ugly because it's a "business class" product and not a home or a media class product. The screen size is thicker than other laptops that you get today.

Configuration & Performance: Mine came with a Core 2 Duo, and 4 GB ram. Shipped with Windows 7 professional. So far it has handled whatever I've thrown at it quite well. I've tried a couple of videos on it, the speakers are alright. I've used it for running Visual Studio (2010) and Eclipse (Helios) and it's handled both really well. The boot up time feels a little high for the configuration, but it's not too bad.

Noise: The fans are extremely silent and not just on power save mode. I haven't heard a peep out of this laptop so far. I'm really weird about the noise factor and I have to say so far this laptop has fared well in that department. The hard drive is dead silent (as it should be!).

Keyboard & Pointer devices: The keyboard just sucks. The keys are way too soft so you don't get the feel of pressing them. Yet, they make that typing sound. Just weird. The touch-pad isn't responsive enough even after a lot of tweaking with the dell software. Neither is the pointer in between the keyboard. In fact the pointer is so weird, it registers a left click when you accidentally touch it while typing. That's really annoying when you're trying to get work done! Overall, the keyboard, the touch-pad, the pointer seem very cheap and flimsy. The behavior is erratic and I don't think it's a software issue.

Display: The brightness is fine. The "auto-brightness" is nonsense. The laptop has a light sensor which adjusts the brightness level depending on ambient light. It just doesn't work. As much as someone's shadow standing over your shoulder messes it up to a huge extent. At times there is no change in light and it still flickers. I've just turned it off. The max-brightness is bright enough for work in direct sunlight. Overall, the display is ok. Nothing to brag about, but nothing really big to complaint about either.

Adapter etc: The power brick is nice and thin and the cord has a power indicator on the tip that connects to the laptop. The problem is it stays on even when not connected to the laptop, but I guess they designed it that way so you'd know. The LEDs on the laptop aren't very bright. BUT, I find the HDD light rather annoying. It keeps flickering way too much indicating heavy disk activity even when it's just idling. This indicator shouldn't even be there IMHO. It's pointless.

One thing I like is the ability to stop the battery from charging so you can leave the laptop constantly plugged in when you want without worrying that it'll reduce the overall battery life.

Conclusion: Ok, if you want something to work with occasionally. It's not very comfortable to carry around. You might want to get a mouse and keyboard to use with this thing. I'd say this laptop is worth 500$ given what I've seen so far.

Our school purchased a Latitude laptop for every teacher in our school this year. They are very useful if you are looking for a paper weight or need to flatten out student paintings from art class. Otherwise, they are useless. All of them crash at least once a day, and I mean with the ominous blue screen featuring the ominous fatal error message. Several crash in lieu of a screen saver-students come in for a class, you teach for an hour and return to the computer to complete you work and, Voila!, the lover blue screened fatal error message. This has happened this morning six times already and it is only 10:26 am.

I was given this laptop by the school and I want to say that this laptop is absolutely horrible for its intended purposes.

It is flimsy and cheap. The back light is a constant issue and it heats up at the drop of a pin.

The fan spits out plastic after too long of a usage.

Requires constant restarts due to "internal issues"

The keys fall off.

The whole thing is loosely screwed together, leaving the screws to loosen and fall out.

It crashes and or freezes with light knocks (i. e. putting my books on my desk when the computer is out)

I am currently using this laptop to write this review but I would prefer anything over this... thing. In other words, this product is a no go.

when i bought this computer it looked wonderful because i knew what i was buying, this dell latitude was made for professional and educational work, when i began using this laptop i erased the windows vista it had and put a fresh copy of windows 7 professional. this computer has been by far the best laptop i've ever owned, i have always purchased from dell and dell never lets me down because i knew what i want. i work as a real pc tech and i know what im in for.the laptop contains 2 wwan slots, capability for cellular data, extra wifi cards, gps, you name it. It also contains 4 usb slots, bluetooth, 14.1 inch wxga lcd screen, 6lbs body weight, interchangeble cd drive to put hdd or other items in the cd-rw slot. also hd speakers capible of reaching 24,bit 192000 hz studio quality sound. s video port for tv, i 1394 port. vga port for external lcd. ethernet and modem port, headphone & mic port. the original battery lasts me 4 hrs on full use using windows 7 pro. my E5400 has been with me a whole year since i have owned this laptop and it has never let me down ever. i even went camping with it and traveled with it also, and my friends always expect for my laptop to die out on me and never has it crashed or physically broken or nothin. the body on this laptop isnt ugly it's called having a secure strong body frame built to last, i'm constantly using this latitude for work and home and it still runs smooth as from day one. people who have a school version, don't assume the pc itself is crap because it's not. on this type of computer the bad work is not on the physical parts of the laptop its the software that runs it. most of the time schools or education places purchase this model of computer because it was designed for easy (IT) networking, meaning that the pc can be controlled and maintained by some lazy fat guy sitting behind a desk and work on it. In my opinion this pc is for the feint hearted and people who are ready to physical demand on the pc. I purchased this pc directly from dell.com because this series is not availible at retail stores. :D very good battery life on this type of dell model

HP 15.6" Athlon II P340 2.2GHz Notebook | G62-347NR Review

Customer Ratings:

This laptop tends to be one of the least expensive ones available, but seems to have all the capacity of many much more expensive computers.

It's main fault is its touch pad. The touch pad is not defined and so made for an unsatisfactory experience from the beginning. The control bar was also difficult to depress left/right. It was very unresponsive. Then, about a week after I bought the unit, the touch pad failed altogether. I was unable to use it to move the cursor. I was glad I had taken the vendor's advice and bought a wireless mouse which I immediately switched over to using. I suggest you automatically get a separate mouse with this unit.

This is a bit of an annoyance because the laptop only has three USB ports. With my printer in one and the add-on wireless mouse in another, I'm left with only one available port. But that's OK. You can always buy expansion ports if you have more devices you want to plug in.

The standard KWERTY keyboard keys are themselves responsive though, and it's generally a pleasure to type and compose on this machine. My only criticism the shift key and the "enter" key are juxtaposed so that it's easy to hit one when you want the other. The keyboard layout could have been designed a little better.

This Hewlett-Packard comes with a fair amount of bundled software in it, including a very serviceable version of Microsoft Word. The vendor tried to convince me that I would need to buy an extra, up-dated version of Microsoft Word for this computer, but that is not the case. I was also told that no software published prior to 2000 would work on this computer. Well, some will. So before you go to the expense of buying any new software for this Windows 7 unit, I suggest you thoroughly explore what is already included with it and what you can run on it from your old collection. You might be pleasantly surprised to find most of your favorite old programs from Windows '98 through Windows XP WILL run on this laptop.

The unit gets me onto the Internet speedily, without any need for upgrades to my equipment. It is also fairly quick and intuitive when it comes to setting it up and transferring files to. I was able to unpack it and get going with it on-line in less than an hour.

So overall, this model laptop seems to be an excellent value.

PROS:

-Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit runs flawlessly on the dual core processor.

-Graphics card is excellent and watching YouTube/DVD videos on full screen is smoothe, even with high definition.

-It's 3GB RAM is more than enough for normal use. The usage is usually in the 40% range with normal use, definitely a good thing.

-Has a stylish cover to it. (mine is blue, I'm not sure if that's standard or not).

CONS:

-THE KEYBOARD LAYOUT IS HORRIBLE! I repeat, HORRIBLE. I type at an average rate of 70-80WPM and this is by far the worst keyboard layout.

-Does not have a numeric keypad as on the side as most notebooks do.

-The shortcut keys available on the keyboard aren't significant and really should not have been placed there to begin with (i.e., quick launch to calculator, email, internet, etc.)

-Because of the keyboard, it's comfort rating is "pathetic" on my scale.

OVERALL:

Excellent choice, given the price and performance. The keyboard will take a LOT of getting used to, but eventually it won't be an issue. I'd highly recommend this product (G62-347NR).

I got this from Amazon under a clearance sale where it was apparently known that this PC was defective. It freezes up constantly as many other unhappy customers will testify. Took me too long to figure out it wasn't my software, so now I'm stuck with this piece of junk.

NEVER BUY ANY COMPUTER EQUIPMENT FROM HP, and since Amazon apparently knew they were pushing junk, I would also avoid that merchant as well.

I highly recommend you do NOT, I repeat DO NOT buy this laptop. If you look around at forums and such, you will find many issues with it being a low quality laptop. Ahead are just a few examples of customers complaining about freezing problems and crashing problems. Other customers complain about blue screens and mouse pad freezes. I have one myself, and I am extremely frustrated as this is my only computer to work with. Every minute or so, the computer will freeze for about 30 seconds and then come back. I have tried many things to fix it, all of them you may find in the following forum posts, but none have worked. Do NOT buy.
