The Black Beast HP
Review of HP Pavilion HDX Entertainment by polty785

Advantages: High quality in both software and hardware, design very attractive
Disadvantages: weight and size perhaps

Bestial! could be the perfect definition for this laptop, not like this last one, that if vieseis size pc pensariais the same thing that I thought when I buy it .. 'less evil that is portable' I am a photographer, and needed a screen quality and the big time, all this without me up too much space, most of the work I bring home, and I already have enough junk, to be wasting space ... The first thing you think when you turn on your laptop, it is that ...
...altissima, chrystalbrite technology, which makes the screen will have a special brightness, without this kind of 'plastic' before recubria displays of old laptops, and that over time, just darkening the dirt ... I can say that I have between your hands (now writing from) a beast in all aspects .. There are two versions of this same pc simplifying could say that this' cheap 'and' expensive 'cheap is less than 1 giga ram memory, hard disk and 180, ... Read review

Not my type of Apple
Review of Apple MacBook Air Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz - 13.3" TFT by Socialism

Advantages: Very Thin, Powerful for something so thin.
Disadvantages: Very Thin, Overated, Expensive, Breakable.

At first I thought the Macbook Air was pretty cool. It's pretty powerful with it's Core 2 Duo 1.8 Ghz Processor and 2 GB of RAM, but it's just to thin. If you drop this think just once it'll probably shatter in half. It doesn't even have a DVD as far as I remember, and with Blue-Ray soon about to take over you won't be able to play your favorite movies or games on this thing. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's just to slim for my own personal liking. ...
...light and portable. I think that the MacBook Air is getting to much attention. It's overrated just like the Ipod. The Iphone is a different story since it's pretty cool Overall, the Macbook Air is an OK device. It's just to small and doesn't have a DVD drive. There are other possibilities. Just because it's thin doesn't make it very good for portability. It could break pretty easily if dropped . It's best to keep thing at a medium size in my own ... Read review

Defective
Review of HP Pavilion Dv9650us 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

Mmmmm, my wrists
Review of Toshiba Portege R500-S5004 by dorian151

Advantages: comfortable, reliable,
Disadvantages: can load for a while sometimes, not the fastest i have seen

This laptop is a very nice little device, which has the whole package, and is definately worth its price. I really like how the edges were rounded, because it does make a difference believe it or not, and you will realise that after you have tried. Resting your wrists on the edge has become so much more comfortable than other computers which have jagged and sharp edges that can turn out unpleasent, and sometimes even numb your hands if you press ...

Horrible display quality
Review of HP Compaq Mobile Workstation 8710w 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 ...
