This is a great machine that has withstood the test of time. I find them easy to work on and cheap to upgrade aside from the pricey RAM. For $38 dollars I put a 2.8GHZ core 2 duo which is the highest GHZ processor this MOBO will allow. It will take up to 8GB of RAM but you MUST use a 64bit operating system. You'll want the MOBO with the integrated ATI graphics chip. I also installed an SSD, blu ray drive (must have a blu ray player software) and a USB 3.0 card adapter in one of the bays. Ran MS experience index and scored a 4.5, apparently aero is not its strong suit even though I've used it without any noticeable issues. Scored 5.5 and as high as a 6.5 on all other fronts with my setup. With the SSD it booted up in 30 seconds. Good solid performance and a very solid build. Suits my needs nicely. Bought several and upgraded in this fashion. This machine can be configured to have it all really, many come with the integrated graphics chip and web cam though those were options many companies did not order. They're all coming off of warranty and there is a bunch of these used on the market now. They're a safe bet for those looking for a reliable used machine that is solidly built and offers good performance. The chassis is made of all high grade material, magnesium and aluminum and it has a high resolution screen. The keyboard is top notch as well. Bluetooth, wi-fi you name it this machine likely has it.Read full review
I bought this computer because I needed a new one for school. With the classes on word processing needing me to have Microsoft word 2010 it was perfect. I love the fact that this computer has a light on the top that enhances the keyboard for when you are typing in a not so well light place. I am not too thrilled with the touch screen volume control. It is just too touchy and seems to take off even when lightly touched. If given the option to buy this again,yes, I would purchase it. It is a wonderful computer and is actually great for playing games on as well.
After using one of these laptops at my workplace where I did IT work, I decided to get one and experiment with it. It runs Windows 7 very well and is pretty quick, too. I do recommend to anyone who gets one of these that they get more RAM for it though. I installed 4GB in mine and it made a huge difference in the speed. I only have one complaint about these laptops... The screen latches tend to become weak after constant use and eventually don't latch anymore. Over half of these laptops I've encountered at work have this issue. So be sure to ask the seller if the latches still work as they should. Overall, I'd say these laptops perform very well but are not as durable as they appear. Take care of the laptop and it will take care of you.
This is probably the most solidly built laptop we ever purchased. We did not need all the power because we use LINUX as our OS. Very LINUX friendly.

Exceptional product Just for the affordable price! very portable and reliable laptop. HP makes excellent products when making very useful tools and portability! I also liked the aluminum finishing that gives a very professional look.
