I really want to love this computer...it's superfast, has a lot of features, and was affordable. But unfortunately it overheats to the point where it is too hot to even sit on my lap. I can walk away from it for an hour or so and it will STILL be hot. The wireless adapter is also faulty and every now and then has to be reset.

I love this computer. I decided to switch back to HP after my Sony drove me nuts. This laptop is easy to use and really fast. The fingerprint ID is very handy because I am constantly forgetting passwords.

This was my second HP laptop, first one was pretty good so I bought this one some months ago, I used it once a week barely for an hour or two for checking my emails. I left it in a hibernate status once for a couple of days and then when I tried to restart it, it wouldn't start. It just died, talked to HP, they looked at it and they said it was a system failure and they could not replace it. I am very glad it happened within the first year and it was under warranty.HP staff was kind enough to replace it with another new laptop(different model). I think this issue has been happening with a large number of DV6 laptops so I would think twice before buying it. Also make sure you have extended warranty on this laptop.

I purchased this HP Pavilion dv6t, special edition about an year ago. It seems that this HP product is good in built quality. I am traditionally a fan of Dell and used/using at least four Dell laptops (for personal use only). I had a great expectation from this HP notebook, my first HP product in any category. But I am highly disappointed. I tend to believe that the issues I face is not very specific case for my particular unit but general problem with HP laptops.

My first set back when I discovered that this HP product does not offer different color management, specifically Adobe RGB. I have all my photography equipment set at Adobe RGB, all my Dell notebooks offer many color management schemes, including Adobe RGB. So I can use this Pavilion dv6t for my photo need but with severe limitations. HP technical help could not offer any help.

The main trouble started around 8 months after I purchased it. The computer became too slow and started hanging over frequently, leaving me frustrated. I lost many valuable data and research work due to that rampant and random hang ups. HP technical team diagnosed that it has bad hard drive. HP refused to replace the defective unit but repaired it. That took about a week.

But the problem came back within a couple of months of repair. Again I am having the problem. A new problem also arosethe sound quality started deteriorating. Even at the highest volume, it is not much audible.

Probably this is my last HP hardware.

W510 15.6" 320GB 2GB Reviews

Customer Ratings:

This has been a great laptop. 2 years later I installed 32gb of RAM in it (though the specs list 16gb max)

I will probably hold on to this for another 2-3 years. I'm in the process of using the ultrabay to add another HD.

I use this machine to do scientific computing. It does it well.

The only downside is battery life. I never have my battery installed unless I'm travelling.

For daily use the battery is out, and the laptop is plugged in to the wall. I bought another charger so I have one at home and one at the office (the charger is bulky/heavy)

The laptop is not half bad. It's the first mac I've ever used, so it took a couple of days to get the hang out it. It's relatively easy to use and I can see why mac user prefer it over Windows. It does get a little hot though. The memory is small so flash videos don't play smoothly, but I hear you can upgrade the memory somehow.

I've had a 12" iBook G4 since 2005 and it's still my favorite notebook for browsing the internet, writing letters, and even reading pdf's. It's very lightweight and I consider the screen the perfect size. It's held up very well. One of the keys has a hairline crack and one of the rubber feet on the bottom fell off but I clean it every month or so and it still looks almost new.

My only criticism is that it gets a little warm so I keep it on top of a clipboard when holding it in my lap. No viruses, no crashes, no worries.

When netbooks started becoming popular a couple of years ago, I had to laugh because I already have a lightweight, handy netbook. In fact, I'm using it right now to write this review. Given a choice between a new Asus or Dell netbook or a used iBook G4 for the same price, I would take the G4 without thinking about it for a second.

I'm enjoying this computer and so far, after a couple of weeks, I'm having no problems with it. Windows 8 takes some getting used to but it's easier than I expected. When I go into normal programs I use the desk top which is readily available in the start menu. I don't use all of the programs in the start menu by choice. Some of them are great. Others I just have no interest in. The display is beautiful and sharp. As of now I am very happy with this purchase. I would give it a 5 star rating but it's to new.

I have to say when I got it first and saw the specifications on the processor being 1.10gHz I was upset to see such a small processing speed, but I don't know what Toshiba did but the graphics card, sound card and unique processing quality was somewhat mind-blowing. For someone that is getting a laptop for the first time or wants something small that packs a punch to be used for business but still wanna play a few game (for me it was fifa 13) but still rock out to music, I can say this pc is capable of doing that.

I bought this laptop in july 2013. I even gave $28.00 for extended warranty. In Sept.2013 I turned it Off one night & went to bed. The next morning when I turned it on I got a screen asking for a BIOS password. I have never set a password for Bios. I could not get it on. So I called Toshiba support & told them about the Bios password problem. They had me try a few things while I was on the phone with them, but nothing worked. So they said I'd have to send it to their repair depot to be repaired. I had a choice of boxing it myself & sending it & be responsible for damages during shipping Or buy their box for $24.95. To be on the safe side I bought their $25.00 box. Four days after it arrived at their repair depot I got an email saying that repair was on hold because the main board had to be replaced & that it wasn't covered under warranty. I freaked!. I emailed the repair depot & ask them how could a 3 month old laptop main board not be covered under warranty. Four hours later they emailed me back & said I didn't send them a BIOS password & to either send them a BIOS password or $114.00 to repair it or it would be sent back to me unrepaired. Well I spent an hour on the phone with hump teen different people in Toshiba support. They all said that the BIOS password problem was not covered under the warranty even if I never set one. Bottom line..their warranty is useless. I told them to send it back to me unrepaired. LET IT BE KNOWN..TOSHIBA CORP.HAS GOT THE LAST PENNY FROM Don in Alabama. So if your thinking of buying a Toshiba product..you better hope you won't need the warranty. I actually have three Toshiba laptops but I will never buy a Toshiba product again because of this experience.

This is replacing my HP Laptop that is 5 years old. Although I am not fond of

Windows 8 the touchscreen was a must to me. The HD display is everything it

is supposed to be. The only complaint is the flexibility of the left side of the keyboard, but I can live with that for a trade off.

Windows 8 is going to release 8.1 in October and I believe it will be an update. This will no doubt improve

functionality of windows 8. Like a start button and booting into desktop mode. Can't wait.

Customer Ratings:

I bought this laptop from bestbuy for 479.99 plus tax in august.This laptops motherboard failed within the first 2 1/2 months. But Asus fixed it within a week so it was all good. The only thing I wish this laptop had was usb 3.0 and a 7200rpm hdd which would have been good. The 4gb ram is perfect since for a normal user you dont usually use more than 4gb of ram. This laptop is not perfect but its pretty good. Next time I believe I will buy an Asus but something with better spec's and also the i5 2410m processor is also very good and also with the turbo boast to 2.9 ghz from 2.3 is very effective.

I had been looking for a sandy bridge cpu, and had been tracking prices on multiple sites, when this came up I was amazed. I also had a $75 gift certificate and that made it even more appealing. I did put a ssd in it, took a bit of work to shrink the hdd down to the size I could put it on a ssd, but once I had figured it out, this thing flies now. Video loads and looks awesome, wei is at 6.5 which I think is pretty sweet for a laptop just over $400. It says it's a refurbished model, but it looked brand-spankin-new when I got it, besides some of the proprietary software that didn't work this was a fantastic buy.

I purchased this laptop from BestBuy for $449.00 in November, 2011. I have had no problems with it so far and it is quite adequate for surfing the web or any other functions that I do. The pros are numerous and the only cons that I have with it is it has only 3 usb ports which isn't adequate if you are running a cool pad and wireless mouse (I don't like using the touchpad). That leaves only 1 usb port for digital cam or other accessories. Web cam is adequate for low end pc. The only other con for me is the speakers, which are junk, otherwise I would have given this laptop a 5. Would recommend this unit to anyone who is looking for a budget priced laptop.

Cheap Dell Latitude D830 Core 2 Duo Laptop

Customer Ratings:

We bought our Dell Latitude D830 in April of 2008 and have never had any sort of problem with it. It has always done the job required of it without any difficulties at all and worked perfectly right out of the box.

Admittedly we have not been a heavy user of the D830 and mostly use it around the house when we need some freedom to do our work somewhere other than our home offices. It has not been exposed to extremes of temperature and has not been dropped or otherwise subjected to abuse.

It has wireless access to our Ethernet network and provides the flexibility we desired when we bought it. When taken out of the house for some special projects it did its job properly.

This is one of two Dells we have along with an HP desktop and has probably needed less attention to keep it working right than any other computer we have.

My configuration is:

Intel Centrino Processor, NVidia Quadro NVS 135M Video, Wired / Wireless Ethernet, 4 GB Memory, 160 GB HD, CD/DVD RW.

I've been using it about 3 4 years now. With a 3 year warranty, the only problem I ever had (to be expected) was the hard drive going bad. I replaced it for free near the end of my warranty.

I'm running dual boot:

Windows XP / Linux Mint 9 LXDE

I spend more time in Linux Mint 9 LXDE than I do in Windows.

When I'm not in Linux Mint 9 LXDE, I'm either test booting Linux Distros from CD / DVD, using Sun VirtualBox to boot test downloaded ISOs, or creating or booting from Linux USB.

I've run just about every version of Ubuntu from version 9 up to / through version 10, Linux Mint (HIGHLY recommended light on resources, user friendly): CrunchBang, Knoppix, Fedora 14, Puppy Linux, GeexBox, ZorinOS, Back-Box (Network Diagnostics, Network Security Toolkit also run without a hitch.

It has problems with Gnome 3.0 / Unity, and the latest versions (11.*) of Ubuntu as well as running 3D graphics or for that matter HD video.

But, for my purposes: Internet Connectiity, Basic Application access (Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Graphics, Audio / Video) LibreOffice, VLC, Audacity, Gnome MediaPlayer, ImageViewer, Feh, FSLint (for cleanup), Ubuntu Tweak, BleachBit (Cleanup / Config tools). TSClient for remote connectivity, It does what I want, need it to do with a minimum of fuss.

Ocasionally, I drop over into Windows when I absolutely can't get it done in Linux.

But, ever since switching over to Linux a majority of my Windows (Virus / Trojan) problems and the attendant performance hits went away.

I print to an HP LJ1300 from Linux. I use Document Viewer (built in) for PDFs. I've ported basic documents / spreadsheets to / from Office 2007.

The only thing it doesn't do well (if at all) is Flash Development. There, Windows (specifically Adobe / Macromedia) Flash has an edge. Haven't played with it much at all, but, for 3D develpment, there's Blender.

Not intended to be a Linux Promo. Just to let you know how my Latitude D830 is setup, what I use it for, and how it runs.

I do tech support for a living and support Windows based systems primarily.

If you're not married to Windows, this is a fine system for running Linux (besides the added advantage of it being FREE or Open Source.

This is my first Windows 8 machine. Windows 8 seems to be all about "apps", which I have no interest in. Initially, the Windows 8 startup screen (apps in your face) was a pain in the neck, but I quickly learned to go quickly to the desktop. I do, however, appreciate the very rapid startup and shut down of Windows 8.

The keyboard has a nice crisp feel, which is a real plus since I do a lot of typing.

The reason I gave four stars instead of five is because the touch pad isn't great. I've only owned two laptops prior to this one, so I don't have a lot to compare to. Perhaps touch pads are generally lousy. But, in any event, I've have a lot of trouble controlling the position of the "mouse pointer" with the touch pad. Bought a USB mouse, so this is no longer an issue when I'm working at a desk. When I'm traveling and don't have a hard surface available for the mouse, I just have to put up with the touch pad.

I ordered this item because the description specifically said WINDOWS 7

It arrived 3 hours ago and the box contained a disk for Windows 8 and

instructions for Windows 8

Never unpacked the rest

Just got back from shipping it back via UPS

The service was great as it arrived in 2 days

I am now wondering if Windows 7 was loaded and the disks for 8 were for an update if desired

as I see some HPs are advertised as such.

If that was the situation it should have said so in the accompanying billing list and on site description

But I didn't want to mess around with the unit so I never opened it

Buy APPLE MACBOOK PRO 2.8GHZ 500GB 17' ANTI GLARE MATTE LCD MC227LL/A

Customer Ratings:

For three years now I have been PC free relying on my trusty MacBook Pro for all the heavy lifting. The replacement of my 2.16GHz MBP was long coming. The major problem was that essentially unlike a PC laptop which is functionally useless after two years, Macs can last forever. What doesn't last forever however is AppleCare Protection Plan For Portable Apple Computers 15 Inches and Above. Even though Macs are extremely reliable, Applecare is a necessary option. All computers, even Apple computers, are mechanical devices and subject to random and expensive repairs.

So hear was my dilemma. I had a perfectly functional three year old MacBook Pro. It had a market value, and I had a buyer. In a month when my Applecare warranty expired repairs were going to be expensive, eating up the value of the computer. Plus the Congress created a 100% business write-off for new computers for 2009, meaning that the government was going to subsidize a new MacBook Pro. So I sold my old laptop and bought this incredibly fast new 17 inch MacBook Pro.

First why 17in? Lots of people prefer 15 inch machines because of weight issues. This 17 inchat a about 6.6 pounds is significantly lighter than my old MBP. A larger screen is more effective for work, particularly when my work requires research and writing. The only option I got is the antiglare screen. It is true that the colors have more pop and sizzle with the shiny standard screen, but I am not a graphic artist. I read and write in black and white and a glare slows me down.

Battery life is another big factor. An 8 hour battery means you can work on transcontinental or even trans-Atlantic flights. Airline power connections are still few and far between in economy.

The 500GB hard drive is far more than I need right now. One option, although an expensive one, is a 256GB solid state drive. There are advantages. Unlike Hard Drives there are no whirling mechanical parts, making it more releiable. But that does not mean a solid state drive canot fail. They can and you will still require Applecare. the best insurance, along with Applecare is a Apple Time Capsule MB765LL/A 1TB which I used to "move" the data,music, photos, videos, applications, and keychain from the older laptop to my new MBP. (Hint: to do this wirelessly takes a while. Figure on seven or eight hours)

So now I have a flashier, larger, lighter version of my old MacBook Pro, soon to be in the loving hands of a new owner. I have no doubt he will be able to use it for several more years. My new MacBook Pro will be with me till the Applecare expires in three years.
