Horrible display quality
Review of HP Compaq Mobile Workstation 8710w - Core 2 Duo T7300 2 GHz - 17" TFT by suchcoder

Advantages: Thin, light, tightly built
Disadvantages: Very poor screen that malkes this laptop useless.

...in my life. HP support replaced the screen - same thing. The problem is with the screen - not with the driver or graphics card. This laptop has "the best" 17" WUXGA anti-glare non-glossy display HP has to offer + NVIDIA Quadro 1600 graphics card with 512MB memory. Tried several drivers - same horrible quality. When attached to external monitor looks fine. But if I have to have an external monitor, - why use laptop? This is especially frustrating ...
...this laptop is touted by HP as ideal for 2D/3D graphics design and modeling. Nothing could be further from the truth. This is simply false advertisement on HP part. HP on-site "next day" "business critical" is support simply horrific. It took two weeks for the person to appear on site (he was supposed to be there next day after I reported the problem according to on-site service contract), did not fix the problem (well the problem is not fixable ...

Defective
Review of HP Pavilion dv9650us - Core 2 Duo T5250 1.5 GHz - 17" TFT by stonecold

Advantages: light, nice graphics
Disadvantages: wireless defective

I had bought this notebook for my wife for her birthday and anniversery and she had to return it for a full refund. It was defective on the wireless adapter. The graphics worked pretty good and was very nice. But could not get to operate on the internet. The different kind of features that it had was really good. Especially since it had everything that my wife needed for doing school work plus it was portable and was not heavy at all. It just would ... Read review

Too good to be true???
Review of Acer Aspire 5315-2077 - Celeron M 540 1.86 GHz - 15.4" TFT by dorian151

Advantages: Cheap, portable, and good looking
Disadvantages: n.a

Acer Aspire 5315-2077 - Celeron M 540 1.86 GHz - 15.4" TFT... This laptop is a great portable computer, which is reliable, complete and ultimate in style, portability, graphical capability, audio capability and all of this for such a cheap price! From my experience with this laptop, I must say it is very good in all the areas a laptop should be. I had alot of games which required ridiculous amounts of graphics memory, and for some reason, this ... Read review

Not as great as it looks
Review of Apple MacBook Air Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz - 13.3" TFT by jabbusch-girl

Advantages: thin, graphics, portable
Disadvantages: doesn't work as good as others, hard to connect as tims

...bought this very nice looking apple laptop. It is a very expensive kind of laptop to have and I think that is why she liked it because she thought that it would work better than others that was cheap. But she has told me that it worked ok but not as good as she thought that it would. The down loading was slower than some laptops. The connection was difficult at times to get onto the internet. It is very thin looking and the graphics were nice looking. ... Read review
