Overall good but 1 GB RAM not enough

I bought this for my daughter, a university student. Overall she is quite pleased (the looks, the touch, the screen, the size, etc). The only thing she complained about was the speed, which I think is due to shortage of memory, 1 GB RAM, considering it uses Windows Vista. I will have to buy more memory, but the trick is you cannot add 1 GB to the existing one. You have to throw the existing 2 x 540 MB away and install 2 x 1 GB.

Good Laptop,

After 2 months with this laptop I don't have any complains, although it's true that the memory is not enough that's easy to fix. I think that it heats up a lot sometimes, but my girlfriend's MacBook does the same. On the other hand, it's very light and elegant (lighter than her MacBook but not as fancy as hers), its size it's perfect, the touchpad it's very annoying but I'm getting used to it. I like it very much it's exactly what I was looking for

great computer, great price

I bought this computer 8 months ago and downgraded it from vista to XP. Everything is perfect so far, but keep in mind that this is not a very powerful computer, so if you want it to play graphically heavy games or stuff like that this is not a good choice for you. perfect to play movies, music, and to work on it (ms office, etc.) and to browse over the internet as well.

If you want to keep vista it may be a good idea to buy another 1gb ram memory, for better performance, but if you downgrade it to XP like me it performs much better just as it is, however, HP doesn't provide support for this downgrades, so it might be a little bit difficult if you are not experienced.

AS IT COMES I'D GIVE IT 4 STARS, BUT IF YOU DOWNGRADE IT IT'S JUST GREAT 5/5

Nice kick for great price

I own this laptop (dv2610us) for about six months now and I am still happy with my purchase. Sure there were some little problems here and there but nothing crucial. For instance, there are times when the battery monitor does not come up on the screen as it should (Notification Area of the Taskbar). To solve that issue I power down, remove the battery and re-insert it again. I do this only when the System Icon for Power is not activated for my to check it.

The most alarming problem I've had was that the keyboard and touch pad was not working at all !!! To survive I used an external mouse with the on-screen keyboard to put in my password, etc. This issue was not HP's fault however, it had to do with an software upgrade (was it the BIOS ? can't remember) and a friend of mine remedied that problem.

All in all I do enjoy using this laptop and am glad I didn't go bigger or smaller. I friend of mine has the 15.4" version but to me that one feels like a waste of space and added weight (although small difference).

The preloaded games are kinda cool as well, as a means of de-stressing. I loaded CSI Miami game on it as well it managed it alright. Smooth, really better than I expected. No hiccups when I use the wireless but I haven't used that frequently, most times I just plug in the Ethernet cable and zoom zoom.

For the price I payed plus free shipping, this laptop definitely gives a good kick.
