apple macbook
Review of Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz - 15.4" TFT by PAN586

Advantages: -----------
Disadvantages: ----------

To achieve this tiny design, Apple made some sacrifices, both obvious and curious. Losing the optical drive was obvious, and a $99 DVD-RW add-on seems reasonable to us. Less obvious was the omission of Ethernet. Though the device has the most advanced 802.11n Wi-Fi, we don't think this will be enough. Frankly, we're surprised that Apple didn't include any flavor of 3G network, with their good buddy AT&T, perhaps. We're shocked that there isn't an ...
...still recommend a Macbook for Apple enthusiasts who just want something simple. The Air is for road warriors, but it doesn't serve that community as well as it could. Beyond the wireless internet accessory, we think Macbook Air users are going to find themselves carrying lots of accessories and extra cables. The Superdrive is one. A memory card reader is another. No reason why Apple couldn't simply tack on an SD card reader, the rest of the industry ... Read review

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 ...

Very fast
Review of HP Pavilion dv6755us - Core 2 Duo T5450 1.67 GHz - 15.4" TFT by renee

Advantages: great memory, light, down loads fast.
Disadvantages: none

My sister bought this kind of laptop about a year ago and she just loves it. She said that the graphics are so nice and the system is very easy to use. She does a lot of school work on it plus she enjoys surfing the web and down loading things. It has a very good memory in the hard drive. It does not take too long to download any thing. The laptop really runs rather fast. She has never complained about it at all. She keeps telling me that I need ... Read review

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
