HP 3105m XU009UT 11.6" Laptop Computer (AMD Dual-Core E-350 1.6GHz Review

Customer Ratings:

The performance is about what you would expect for such a underpowered AMD chipset Adequate. But, this isn't why I purchased the laptop. I purchased it for the promised 9.5 hours. Actually, I purchased 2 of these 3105m's. We are lucky to get 2.5 to 3.0 hours out of the laptops IF the screens are turned down so low that they are barely visible. There is no way to get anything close to 9 hours of even moderate to light use out of this laptop. I would not have purchased this laptop if I had known the actual battery life.

My 2-week old desktop wouldn't come out of sleep mode one day so I had to use the Hp 3105m while my custom desktop was sent back to the vendor. It took 4 weeks before I got it back so in the meantime I hooked up my monitor and wireless keyboard & mouse to the HP 3105m and I was off to the races. It wasn't as fast as my 4x desktop w/8GB memory & 128GB SSD2 but, hey, it was more than I anticipated and is NOT a 3.52 pound weakling.

Now I'm waiting on the arrival of my new HP 3115m w/2x E-450 & Radeon 6320 GPU, 4GB memory & Win7 Pro 64bit. It s/b here in a day or 2 (3/5 or 3/6/2012) and I'm expecting even more out of it now. I think I might even put an SSD2 in it.

The last AMD notebook I had was a 33MHz 386. I had an Intel 25MHZ 386 at the same time and I've used Intel most of my life but I'm a die-hard AMD fan now. APUs rule.
