Decent Machine

This was my first laptop purchase and at first I was "wowed"! In less than a year I have had two letters fall off of the keyboard permanently, it sticks quite frequently as well. The battery does not hold a very long charge at all and now the AC adaptor port is shorting out.
It runs reasonably well though. The wireless works superbly. Even with the issues that I have encountered, I would not pass it by if the price was right.

Very serviceable

I recently decided to obtain a laptop with a Microsoft operating system to run some programs that are unfortunately only compatible with Windows--including U.S.-made biofeedback software that runs with a pocket, wireless amplifier from Australia.

I'm not much for Windows operating systems, and my previous experiences with XP were disastrous. However, having recently purchased a re-manufactured Pavilion DV5000, with an AMD chip set, I give credit to HP for making a fine machine.

The 15.2 inch screen is large enough to actually see, and the system includes just about all the bells and whistles one could wish for, including a 4-layer Cd-DVD drive, wireless networking (and traditional lan connections), a large hard drive, ample memory and even a telephone jack, presumably to send faxes and make conference calls.

The sound and graphics on this baby are great, the machine is pretty fast, and there are many more security mechanisms and software packages than I received the last time I tried Windows, more than 2 years ago.

I'm not quite so fond of the keyboard, which is a bit sticker than I'd like. I prefer a clean, quiet soft touch keyboard. But I can live with it.

The one problem is the unwieldy finger-touch mouse pad, which is a prescription for repetitive stress syndrome, if you don't already have it. One must hold an arm aloft to negotiate the thing, and since this is designed for one's lap, that's without the potential for wrist support of any kind. I also found that the serial connector on my standard issue mouse is incompatible with the mouse port on this machine, a real bummer.

But I paid little more than $500 for the machine, with shipping and a 90 day HP warranty (which I can extend). So I'm not complaining.

Overall, this is a very serviceable laptop.
