HP Pavilion dv2000 Special Edition

I purchased the dv2000 from BestBuy for 699.99$. For the price it gives you the most bang for your buck. This notebook has 4gb of memory, massive 320gb hardrive space, and amd's dual core Turion X2 processor rated at 2.00Ghz. Nividia provides excellent graphics for a notebook of this price. The only downside is battery life and even that isn't too bad for the moderate user. This notebook is a definate must if your on a limited budget but you don't want to sacrifice performance. I've had absolutely no issues with this notebook and it compares favorably to my previous Toshiba. Excellent product, a must buy.

wasn't as i have expected

fair to say, the amount of speed, space and RAM looks good, but outlooks are deceiving. i was looking forward to wiping out the harddrive and install XP on it, but found out after i bought it that HP doesnt have drivers for this notebook. so i was disappointed.
because of vista, i also couldnt play games (like warcraft 3) on it smoothly like i play on a poorer notebook that i have. which is strange since the graphics are better in this notebook.
if you plan to do work only with this notebook, it would be perfect.

HP dv2940se

I bought this laptop about a week ago, and I've got to say, it's a well rounded machine. Graphics are on par for what you're paying for (I got mine at Office Depot for $750), and this being my first experience with vista, I got to say, its not as bad as I thought. Back to the graphics, this isn't an Alienware, that said, I installed DOOM 3 and it did well, aside from some anti-aliasing hiccups and slow-downs during extreme high action. One thing you should definitely take note of is battery life. I bought this PC for school, and there are days where it just makes it through the day without plugging in. Definitely bring an AC adapter if you'll be moving around a lot. The laptop overall is light weight, and can be used comfortably on your lap, although the battery does get hot at times. I give this laptop a 3 out of 5.

Great laptop for the price

This is a terrific laptop. It's fast, nice sized hard drive, and the screen looks amazing. The exterior finish is sleek. The laptop feels pretty light.

Start-up into the OS is blazing fast. Windows Vista-64 is great. My Desktop had Vista Ultimate 32 on it, so I was already a fan.

The only complaint I have is that the lower right side of the keyboard, from the enter key down through the arrows, feels hollow or loose underneath. I think it's because the DVD tray is below that area of the keyboard. I don't think that it's a defective keyboard, I think it's a design issue.

All in all I think this is a great laptop. This is my first AMP laptop system and I must say it is just as fast as my Core2Duo E6600 Desktop was.

Overall great computer with excellent features

I don't know how this laptop can be reviewed poorly. For one thing it is amazing on paper with 4 gigs ram and 320 gigs storage, and it really delivers on speed and performance. The battery life isn't the best, but at school or starbucks there should be outlets anyways. It is also a very nice looking laptop with all the best features. It has a very nice media center with attractive, backlit, touch sensitive buttons at the top. This even has a remote with convenient storage inside the laptop. It also works very well in terms of range and registering all clicks. When watching movies or listening to music the speakers sound very impressive for a laptop because it's altec lansing. I don't even need to hook it up to my standalone speakers. The keyboard isn't the best I've seen but it has a nice firmness to it and does what it should. Also it's nice how the ctrl key is in the corner and fn is moved to the right because that is what I'm used to from desktop keyboards. One of my only complaints is that the mousepad (I forget what it's actually called) is a little grabby, but mostly it works fine. I also like how it can be turned on and off with a dedicated button. The only other thing that I'm sort of disappointed with is the quality of the webcam; however, most other laptops in the price range have the same quality anyways. I will be using this laptop for years to come and I'm confident it will last because it has excellent, sturdy build quality from a trusted name brand, hp.
