The inventory is costed on a first in, first out basis, but the pricing can be based on your standard price, next price, average price, or you can fix the price.
Service History
Windward System Five does an excellent job of keeping track of history. As an added feature, you can keep track of each of the customers computers and track what work or service was done. The invoice is actually tagged against the computer in question, so that at some future date, you could bring up a list and review all work done to that computer.

Technician Tracking
Windward System Five will allow you to record what work was done, which technician did the work, how long it took, how many hours you billed for, and a detailed comment describing the work done.

Customer Review: It is not a REAL tablet. Period.

I bought it directly from HP and received 30% discount to find out a week later that HP stopped producing tx1000 (hence the large discount). What they do not tell you is that this model does not have Wacom digitizer and active display. This model has a passive display,and what that means is that you would be able to write on the screen as successfully as you try to write something in you Blackberry.

When you try to write on the screen you have to apply so much pressure and the hand has to be at a certain angle. Even that did not always help me as a result I got a bunch of dots or some weird looking lines that did not resemble any letters. The pen primarily serves a function of the mouse. And also forget about trying to draw anything, it will not work the same as the writing.

The computer is loaded with HPs bloatware (as usual) and Vista is slower than XP. The comp is unable to play any games (tried Command and Conquer) due to its weak videocard. In addition the screen is very grainy though it was expected.

If you you are looking for a real tablet get yourself their new tx2000 which has Wacon Penable digitizer and an active display. That baby will allow you to write on it like on the real paper with no problems at all.

Computer Monitor



Computer Monitor : Resolution
Monitors are measured in inches, diagonally from side to side (on the screen). A 14-inch monitor only has a 13.2-inch viewable area, a 15-inch sees only 13.8 inches, and a 20-inch will give you 18.8 inches (viewing 85.7% more than a 15-inch screen).
A computer monitor is made of pixels (short for "picture element"). Monitor resolution is measured in pixels, width by height. A pixel is the smallest element of a video image, but not the smallest element of a monitor's screen. Originally, monitors were fixed at a particular resolution, but most monitors today are capable of changing their displayed resolution under software control. Compare a 15-inch monitor and a 21-inch monitor, both set to 800 x 600 pixels: the 15-inch will have a higher resolution. Larger monitors must contain smaller pixels in order to maintain the same resolution, but when a smaller monitor is set to a high resolution, the images would be much too small to read.
Adjusting Resolution
Color
There are 4 standard color depths used by monitors: 4-bit (Standard VGA), 8-bit (256-Color Mode), 16-bit (High Color),and 24-bit (True Color). Each pixel of the screen image is displayed using a combination of three different color signals: red, green, and blue. The more bits that are used per pixel, the finer the color detail of the image. Bit depth is the number of bits in each pixel. Color depth is the maximum number of colors in an image [...]

and is based on the bit depth of the image and of the displaying monitor. A black and white monitor uses 1-bit color depth (2 to the power of 1): black=light off, and white= light on. Each pixel has a bit depth of one and a color depth of two. One bit produces two possible colors. Color monitors use at least 2-bit color, or 2-to-the-2nd power (2x2=4), meaning that 4 shades of color are available for each of the three primary colors (red, blue, and green). 4-bit color (2x2x2x2=16) means that each of the primaries has 16 shades; the greater the bit depth, the more shades for each color. See the chart below for a comparison of bit depth and color resolution. 256-Color Mode: uses only 8 bits (2 bits for blue, 3 for green, 3 for red). A palette is created containing 256 different colors. Despite the ability to "hand pick" the 256 colors, this mode produces noticeably worse image quality than high color, and most people can tell the difference between high color and 256-color mode.


High color: 16-bit color—uses two bytes of information to store the intensity values for the three colors. True color: 24-bit color—three bytes of information are used, one for each of the red, blue, and green signals that make up each pixel. [TheScreamOnline is best viewed with 24-bit color, or millions of colors, though thousands of colors will suffice. On a Mac, go to Control Panels > Monitors (see graphic above under Adjusting Resolution) and set the color depth to thousands or millions of colors if your video card supports it. Lowering the resolution of your screen display may allow you to achieve a greater color depth.
Monitors vs. Browsers
Macintosh monitors display text at 72 dpi (dots-per-inch) and PC's take 96 pixels to show that same text.

Bigger Computer Monitors = More Productivity
Blame your computer screen. A new study finds that bigger monitors make people more productive.
Researchers at the University of Utah tested how quickly people performed tasks like editing a document and copying numbers between spreadsheets while using different computer configurations: one with an 18-inch monitor, one with a 24-inch monitor and with two 20-inch monitors. Their finding: People using the 24-inch screen completed the tasks 52% faster than people who used the 18-inch monitor; people who used the two 20-inch monitors were 44% faster than those with the 18-inch ones. There is an upper limit, however: Productivity dropped off again when people used a 26-inch screen. (The order of the tasks and the order of computer configurations were assigned randomly.)

Battery Technology AC Adapter for Laptop (PS-HP-DV1000)


Battery Technology AC Adapter for Laptop (PS-HP-DV1000)

Customer Review: It works!

I was a little nervous about ordering an off-brand adapter for my laptop, but it works just fine, and, as far as I can tell, is just as good quality as any other AC adapter. This is the second time I have had to replace the adapter, and the first time, I replaced it with HP's version, which surprisingly didn't fit as well as this one; I should have saved myself $50 and gotten this one the first time.

The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because the adapter is not the one pictured. I chose this one over some cheaper ones because the part you stick into the back of the laptop is bent, which I liked, but the actual adapter is straight.

Customer Review: Arguably The Best Value In A Media Laptop For The Money!

Thumbs Up:

Fast processor, extreme good looks, rugged construction, HP's history of quality, price.
Thumbs Down:

Vista, 5400rpm HD, 1 gig of memory, annoying fan noise due to processor heat, HP's poor record for service.

The Bottom Line:

If you don't mind Vista, or can replace it with XP, and a fan doesn't bother you, this may well be the best value in a media laptop you'll find.
What I Think:
I've used computers for over 25 years. I've owned many laptops and this is by far the best Windows deck I've owned.
First off it's beautiful. Made well and rugged, lighter than most it's size, gorgeous bright screen, 15.4 WXGA, 160g HD. Built in 1.3 mp webcam and mic, Intel pro-wireless, 6 cell bat, and a boatload more included features. Mine also came with a Lightscribe DVD burner, HP's bootless QuickPlay software for playing the DVDs without having to use Windows.
The Hp dv6426us comes with three expansion ports, a Firewire port, three USB 2 ports, a 5-in-1 digital media reader, etc.
The only real drawback I've found on this laptop compared to all the many others I've owned is that it comes loaded with Windows Vista. This is my first Vista machine and I absolutely hate it. It totally fills the 1 gig memory the machine comes with even when idle. When something triggers the processor, it will go over 100%, no matter what the program. And the Vongo and other junk prepackaged with the machine slows it to a crawl. You'll have to rip all of that out to see the true speed this laptop really has.
Since I've had it, I've only used it for email on the road. But I plan this summer when things slow down to dump Vista and load either XP Pro or Vista Lite (an unauthorized stripped down version of Vista) onto the HP. Besides it getting a little warm on the bottom side due to the heat generated by the Intel Core Duo processor and the fans coming on and off the cool it, this is an unbelievable steal at this price.
I first saw this laptop being used by people in my line of work. This machine was showing up everywhere. So I asked each of these folks if they likes the machine and what were the main drawbacks. They all said they loved the machine and that the cons were few, mostly the warm underside and the fan noise. Some of the machines issued produce a high pitched whine, which if it's too troublesome, you can contact HP and exchange the laptop for a new (not refurbished one like Dell gets away with). At that time, it was selling for around $950.00 to $1,000.00. I just happened to see it on deep discount at Circuit City for $650.00. I grabbed the last one they had and after about nine months, I still love the deck.
It comes with the slower 5400 rpm hard drive and I may swap that out for the much faster 7200 rpm drive. And I'm definitely going to add another gig of memory. Unfortunately, this laptop has a limit of 2 gigs of memory.
It's not for gamers so if you are looking for a portable gaming machine, don't buy this one for that. But if you need an outstanding laptop for dirt cheap, this is the one to look at!
What It's Features Are:
Intel Core Duo T2450 2 GHz Processor
15.4 WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen Display (1024 x 768)
160 GB 5400 rpm Hard Disc Drive
1024 mb DDR2 SDRAM memory (2 Dimm)
Intel PRO Wireless 3945 a/b/g 802 11a/b/g integrated Wireless LAN
Lightscribe Super Multi 8x DVD+/-RW Double Layer Supported
6-Cell battery
HP DVD/CD Quick Play
HP Mobile Remote Control
5-in-1 Digital Media Card Slot
ExpressCard/54 PC Expansion Card Slot
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with shared graphics memory
Windows Vista Home Premium OS
1.3mp Integrated Webcam
Integrated microphone
Mobile Stereo Earbud Headphones
Expansion Port 3
What I Like:
I love the styling. It's smart and professional looking and has lots of sex appeal too. The machine is built rugged and feels like it will take some abuse. It's easy to use. The buttons are well lit and marked and the keyboard feels good to the fingers, though some say it's a bit springy. Though only an XGA, the screen is bright, clear and easy to read with vibrant colors. The integrated sound is good enough for listening to mp3s and web radio on the road. I've not had the bottom panels off yet so I can't comment on easy of using the expansion ports or changing out memory. The DVD burner is easy to use with the enclosed cheapo burning software. I would recommend you replace it with what you are used to using to burn CDs and DVDs. Once you uninstall all of the garbage out of the machine and cheap unnecessary programs that try to load at boot time, this machine flies with speed. Even though it's not a feather weight (around 6 and a half pounds), it's very totable and can even be used on your lap.
What I Don't Like:
VISTA! Sorry but this is a terrible OS. Windows really shot itself in the foot with this. I've not talked to one person since this came out who likes it, even a little. Sure the graphics are cute, but you don't buy a computer for animated Mac style graphics. The new built in high security system is a joke. What it is is merely a series of questions when you click a button. It's like this:
Operator: Clicked a button to do something
Windows Security: Are you sure you wanted to do that?
Operator: Yes, click
Windows Security: Are you REALLY sure you wanted to do that?
Operator: YES! Click
Windows Security: Windows Security thinks this is an unauthorized attempt to access this computer. Access denied
Operator: BUT I'M THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS COMPUTER!!!
And this happens for every single thing you try to do in Vista. So you end up turning the High Security system off. Which right there tells you how secure it is. When I got this laptop and started immediately having trouble with Vista, I went online and found numerous blogs and articles saying the same thing. And there are no fixes for just being a big, poorly written, bloated operating system. What these IT experts did was either use Vista Lite, a stripped down version of Vista, or wipe the whole hard drive clean and "upgrade" to Windows XP Pro, which is what I use on my desktop and really love. That's probably what I will do when I get the chance.
Also, the HP Quick Play buttons are very easy to accidently activate and then it's a pain to get out of that program quickly.
And look out for the wireless activation button on the front. Grab the computer wrong and it turns off and you'll forget to check that as the problem.
This computer comes with the Intel Core Duo processor. This is not the same as the Core 2 Duo, which runs a lot cooler than the Core Duo. So what that means is more internal heat which will eventually affect the components and may shorten their lifespan. But the main affect is a very warm bottom on the computer which can get uncomfortable if you sit it for long periods of time on your legs or lap. It won't burn you but it does get warm. The second result is fans. There are several, including a pretty soft one that stays on all the time. When you start running multiple programs, especially graphic intensive ones, or have multiple windows open, the fans come on and at their extreme, they really scream. If there is anything I would label a design flaw with this machine, it would be this heat issue and the fan noise. But for me, it's a minor annoyance for what I use this laptop for.
My Conclusions:
All in all, I love this laptop computer. It's exactly what I was looking for with a cross of the high end media features and the zip of a gaming machine, plus the simplicity of a standard use notebook. If you consider buying this computer, before you load it up with software and programs, give yourself a break-in period to see if you will be happy with Vista. Most folks aren't but most also are not up to the task of replacing their operating system from scratch, and then reloading all the software and programs back into the machine, and then trouble shooting the new installation looking for drivers for the hardware that may not be supported automatically by XP. An option is to have the store where you buy it do that swap out for you. Know this, that they will charge you to reload your computer, AND you will have to pay for the other OS. Most non-professionals just tough out Vista and all of it's problems. If you keep it, you'll definitely need to replace the memory with two new sticks of 1gig high speed RAM. That's around another $200.00 to do that since the 1gig that comes with the machine is really two sticks of 500megs so you won't be able to use it. You could then always sell the 1gig on eBay.
Good luck!

    HP Pavilion DV9750US 17" Laptop


    HP Pavilion DV9750US 17" Laptop (Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 500 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium) Black
    Balance your need for productivity with great multimedia performance with the HP Pavilion dv9750us notebook PC, which features an amazingly bright, widescreen 17-inch BrightView display--perfect for multitasking between document windows and watching movies in their native aspect ratio. This notebook is a multimedia workhorse, incorporates a Blu-ray drive that's compatible with the new high-definition DVD disc format as well as including an ExpressCard TV tuner that's compatible with both NTSC (standard) and ATSC (high definition) signals. Enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process). Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included remote control, which stores conveniently in the ExpressCard slot.

    It also has an integrated 1.3-megapixel WebCam (and integrated microphone), enabling easy video conferencing via VoIP and video IM chats. This stylish laptop also features a high-gloss, durable HP Imprint finish with the Radiance pattern of concentric waves, as well as a subtle blue backlit media control panel that responds to the slightest touch.

    This notebook is powered by the 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor, which offers a 20 percent performance boost over its predecessor while using 28 percent less power--so you get the benefit of a powerful dual-core PC plus all the benefits of mobility. Other hardware features include dual 160 GB hard drives, 3 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), dual-layer DVDยฑRW drive (which also burns CDs), an integrated Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS video/graphics card with up to 1791 MB of total allocated video memory, quad-mode Wi-Fi LAN (802.11a/b/g/n), and multi-format memory card reader.

    This laptop also comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

    The Basics

    • Processor: The Intel Core 2 Duo T7250 processor has a 2.0 GHz processor speed, super-fast 800 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and a large 2 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

      The Intel Core 2 Duo processor has two computational execution cores in a single processor, providing greater system response when running multi-threaded applications simultaneously with no significant increase in power consumption. It's optimized for multitasking and is ready to support the Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. It can simultaneously run multiple demanding applications--such as graphics-intensive games or serious number-crunching business productivity applications--while downloading music or running virus-scanning security programs in the background. Some of the advanced Intel innovations of the Core 2 Duo processor include:

      • Smart Memory Access: Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
      • Advanced Digital Media Boost: Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
      • Dynamic Power Coordination: Coordinates Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology and idle power-management state (C-states) transitions independently per core to help save power.
      • Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing: Saves power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.

    • Hard Drive: This system offers a total of 500 GB of hard disk drive space from two 250 GB drives (5400 RPM). These Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives also quicken the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.

    • Memory: This notebook comes installed with 3 GB of RAM (DDR2), which helps boost the amount of available video RAM that's shared with this notebook's video card. It has a 4 GB RAM capacity.

    • DVD/CD Drive: This HP notebook is capable of playing back Blu-ray Disc movies in stunning clarity, as well as playing your current library of purchased and burned disc content. It also incorporates a DVDยฑRW writer that can also burn CDs, which is compatible with dual-layer (DL) discs that can hold up to 8.5 GB of data.

    • Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard (with integrated numeric keypad) and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD).
    Screen, Video & Audio
    The 17-inch WXGA+ high-definition BrightView widescreen (1440 x 900 resolution) provides a 45 percent larger picture for DVD movies than a 15-inch screen. Video is powered by the integrated Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS graphics/video card, which provides up to 1791 MB of total graphics memory as allocated by Windows Vista (512 MB dedicated RAM) for unmatched HD video performance on a notebook PC. With support for Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 and High Dynamic-Range Lighting (HDR), it lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and cutting-edge games and applications. Experience real-time photo editing, or immerse yourself in the most complex, true-to-life gaming environments.

    The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You'll be able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the dual headphone jacks.

    Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
    Be ready for the next platform in wireless connectivity with this notebook's integrated quad-mode Wi-Fi chip. Based on the draft 802.11n Wi-Fi specification, it offers up to five times the performance and twice the wireless range as existing 802.11g wireless. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks (commonly found in home routers and wi-fi hotspots) as well as 802.11a networks (which has a higher throughput, but more limited range--great for closed office environments). It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (replacing the PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. You get a very good offering of connectivity options, which does include super-fast USB 2.0 and FireWire:

    • 4 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
    • 1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
    • 1 HDMI output (for connecting to a compatible HDTV or home theater receiver for uncompressed digital audio and video via a single cable)
    • Analog video out: 1 VGA monitor port and 1 S-Video port for connecting to a TV or projector
    • 1 ExpressCard/54 Slot (also supports ExpressCard/34)
    • 2 headphone jacks, 1 microphone jack
    • 1 Expansion Port 3 connector (for use with the HP xb3000 Expansion Base or the HP Notebook QuickDock)
    • 1 IR receiver
    • 5-in-1 memory card reader (Secure Digital, MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD Picture Card)
    • 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
    • 56K modem (V.90)

    Operating System
    Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.

    Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data.

    Customer Review: Disappointed with the video card

    I recently purchased a similar (but slightly different model) HP Pavilion laptop which performs great for games, and I wanted another one for multiplayer gaming. Unfortunately I couldn't get that model, so I purchased this one instead.
    It turns out that the video card in this particular model sucks. Windows Vista reports gaming performance 2.5, as compared to more than 4 in the other machine. Consequentially, gaming graphics aren't nearly as nice on this machine as the one I purchased earlier.
    The laptop works fine otherwise, but the graphics really suck for playing games. To avoid such unpleasant surprises, it would be very nice if Amazon included Windows Vista performance metrics in laptop descriptions in the future.

    I am a sort of reticent person; an introvert one especially regarding private matter. That’s why I would rather not to talk about myself. I would prefer someone else talk about me, if any. I feel it’s not comfy to speak of oneself too much. Blowing oneself horn is not my cup of tea. For the sake of clear identity, however, particularly with regard to my writing here in this blog, I need to tell readers something that may be of interests:

    Alhamdulillah, i was born from a big moslem family.
    I was born in Pematang siantar, North Sumatera, indonesia, on 22 april 1988 ...
    now I'm studying at University of North Sumatera in arab literature (2006). and now I'm learning internet marketing, and run a business online. I study in the Asian Brain Internet Marketing Center Universiy with teacher Anne ahira. and also i like to learn from another places. if you want to contact me, you can look at the "Contact Us" page.

    New Apple MacBook NoteBook

    Apple’s MacBook notebook has released new product MacBook Ultrathin 13.3-inch on October 2008. Steven P. Jobs, Apple’s chief executive say that that the manufacturing process would allow Apple to build more rigid and reliable products. Apple designers and engineers work together through every stage of product development. It’s a partnership that makes innovation possible, And it’s exactly how the new Apple MacBook notebook was created.


    Apple MacBook company always trying to be the best for the consumer. According to the sales-research organization NPD Group, the midrange model of the MacBook has been the single best-selling notebook or laptop of any brand in U.S. retail stores for the past five months.

    The New NoteBook Apple MacBook 13.3-inch using blocks of aluminum as the starting point for laptop cases resolved much of the speculation among Apple enthusiasts surrounding the term "brick". Apple claims the chassis is carved from one solid piece of aluminum instead of the multiple pieces of almost every other laptop case out there.


    Until now, all notebooks were designed the same way. LCD displays on the new Apple MacBook notebook typically use cold cathode fluorescent lamps, or CCFLs, to create light and project a picture onto a screen. The MacBook's Glass look difference, That edge-to-edge, uninterrupted glass display does more than look good.

    The smooth glass pad is now gesture-enabled (like the screen on the iPhone and iPod Touch), so you can scroll, zoom, and tap right on the pad. The MacBook keyboard is solid, responsive, and comfortable. Just put your fingers on the crisp keys and you’ll feel pure typing bliss.


    Many notebook computers sacrifice graphics performance in order to save battery life. The new MacBook offers the best of both worlds. On the new notebook Apple MacBook you will find find an integrated nVidia GeForce 9400M graphics engine that Apple claims if five times more powerful than the ousted Intel graphics chip.

    Specification for the body of Apple MacBook 13.3-inch are sports model (sturdy aluminum case), It’s 10% lighter, at 4.5 pounds, and 12% thinner, at 0.95 inch, than its predecessor, and continues to include a built-in DVD drive.


    On the market, The new Apple MacBook notebook is available in two configurations from the Apple Website, an Apple Store, and authorized resellers. The $1,299 model has a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB of RAM, and a 160GB hard drive; the $1,599 version nets you a 2.4GHz processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 250GB hard drive.

    When you buy the Apple MacBook notebook, You can Protect your NoteBook with Dura-Flex Protective Cover and at the same time give it a sleek, unique look that no one else has for their laptop yet! The Dura-Flex Protective Cover is made from the industrial Poly-Carbonated material that is used to manufactured the bullet-proof protective glass for the auto industry.


    Apple MacBook's case cover are available in Pink Hawaii color and Transparent Blue color, especially for the 13 inch Apple MacBook Notebook.

    Customer Review: Expensive & Non-durable

    I hate writing bad reviews for products that i own. Unfortunately i would like to share my experience with this laptop. At first few months it was ok, but after 5 months of hardly using, one time it just stop working and it wont charge. So i sent it to local HP tech and they told me that it a motherboard problem and they need to change it. This time it was still under warranty so i didn't need to pay any bucks. but after 4 months which the warranty of the HP expired again it stopped working and same problem was diagnose and now i have to pay for $500 just to fix and replace the motherboard again. I have 4 different laptop and 2 of them are HP, but this model isn't that good enough to last.

    Customer Review: Expensive & Non-durable

    I hate writing bad reviews for products that i own. Unfortunately i would like to share my experience with this laptop. At first few months it was ok, but after 5 months of hardly using, one time it just stop working and it wont charge. So i sent it to local HP tech and they told me that it a motherboard problem and they need to change it. This time it was still under warranty so i didn't need to pay any bucks. but after 4 months which the warranty of the HP expired again it stopped working and same problem was diagnose and now i have to pay for $500 just to fix and replace the motherboard again. I have 4 different laptop and 2 of them are HP, but this model isn't that good enough to last.

    Customer Review: Excellent laptop

    Exellent laptop with a dedicated graphics card, twin drives and plenty of memory. I have loaded this laptop up for use with my job, and yet it is an excellent gamer for downtime during business trips.

    Plenty of features, full size keyboard with a separate numeric pad.

    I highly recommend it.

    Buy Cheap HP Pavilion DV6605US 15.4" Entertainment Laptop (AMD Athlon 64 Processor TK-55, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive,


    HP Pavilion DV6605US 15.4" Entertainment Laptop (AMD Athlon 64 Processor TK-55, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium)
    Designed for fast access to your entire entertainment library, the HP Pavilion dv6605us notebook PC is a great choice for both families and business travelers on the go. The 15.4-inch high-definition BrightView display looks good even in direct sunlight, and you'll enjoy movies or music in seconds with the external DVD or music buttons to launch HP QuickPlay (which bypasses the boot process). Control playback settings from up to 10 feet away with the included HP remote, then store it conveniently in the Express card slot. Easily manage your digital photo library and share with friends and family using the included HP Photosmart Premier software. This stylish laptop also features a high-gloss, durable HP Imprint finish with an inlaid wave design.

    It's powered by the 64-bit 1.8 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-55 processor, which allows you to easily run multiple programs without slowing down your productivity. This notebook also features a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM (4 GB maximum), built-in 54g Wi-Fi connectivity (802.11b/g), 8x multi-format/dual-layer DVD+/-RW drive (which also burns CDs), ExpressCard slot, and NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150 video/graphics card with up to 287 MB of shared video memory.

    It comes preinstalled with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium, which includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you'll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.

    The Basics

    • Processor: The 1.8 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-55 processor offers a dual-core architecture, which delivers additional computing resources to help expand your PC's capabilities by providing higher throughput and simultaneous computing--increasing your performance by up to 80 percent. You'll be able to perform multiple tasks such as digital rendering and gaming all while running virus scan or other background tasks seamlessly thanks to the innovative Direct Connect Architecture. And it's designed to handle simultaneous 32- and 64-bit computing with no degradation in performance. You'll enjoy long battery life thanks to the AMD PowerNow! power management technology, which delivers performance on demand and can extend system battery life up to 65 percent. And the AMD Digital Media XPress technology delivers stellar multimedia performance and playback on digital entertainment such as games, streaming video and audio, DVDs, and music.

      Each processing core has a 256 KB L2 cache (for a 512 KB total), and this processor can deliver up to a 1600 MHz system bus for lightning quick computing reflexes. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance. The FSB carries data between the CPU and RAM, and a faster front-side bus will deliver better overall performance.)

    • Hard Drive: The 160 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) offers enough to room to hold a digital audio library of over 26,000 songs and still have room left over for movies, games, and a large collection of software. This Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive also quickens the pace with a higher speed transfer of data--akin to FireWire and USB 2.0.

    • Memory: The 1 GB of installed RAM (2 x 512 MB DDR2) is a good start, but you'll want to add more RAM to handle today's demanding multimedia and productivity suites. It provides two DIMM slots and has a 4 GB maximum RAM capacity. To receive the faster data transfer benefits of the dual-channel DDR2 RAM, any RAM additions require memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.

    • DVD/CD Drive: This multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with writing both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 16x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds.

      This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs . Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.

    • Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. It also includes two quick-launch buttons (HP QuickPlay Music and DVD).
    Screen, Video & Audio
    You'll enjoy razor-sharp graphics and widescreen movies with the 15.4-inch WXGA high-definition screen, which displays an 18 percent larger picture than standard 15-inch screens and offers up to an 18 percent improvement in contrast ratio. It has a widescreen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels--perfect for watching DVD movies the way they were meant to be seen. Video is powered by the integrated NVidia GeForce Go 7150 graphics/video card, which provides up to 287 MB of video memory shared with the system memory. It features NVidia's PureVideo technology--which provides great picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for video content--and full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 for stunningly realistic cinematic effects for all DirectX-compatible applications.

    The Altec Lansing speakers provide exceptional sound, and a pair of stereo earbud headphones with volume controls is included. You'll be able to privately share enjoyment of multimedia with a friend via the dual headphone jacks.

    Networking, Connectivity & Expansion
    This notebook has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. It also includes a next-generation ExpressCard 54/34 card slot (though no standard PCMCIA slot), which lets you take advantage of thinner, faster, and lighter expansion cards for even more advanced wireless, networking, storage, and security features. You get a good offering of connectivity options:

    • 3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players
    • 1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals
    • 1 VGA monitor port
    • 1 S-Video port for connecting to a TV
    • 1 ExpressCard 54/34
    • 2 headphone jacks and 1 microphone jack
    • 1 notebook expansion port 3 (for use with the HP xb3000 Expansion Base or the HP Notebook QuickDock)
    • 1 consumer IR (infrared)
    • 5-in-1 memory card reader (Secure Digital, MultiMedia, Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO, xD Picture Card)
    It also has an integrated 56K modem (V.90) and an RJ-45 LAN network port (for a 10/100 Ethernet connection to networks and DSL/cable modems).

    Operating System
    Windows Vista Home Premium is the operating system for users with advanced computer needs, and it includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center for watching DVD movies and accessing your digital audio library. You can also use Windows Media Center to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV) and to access new kinds of online entertainment content. Computers that include Windows Vista Home Premium and an auxiliary Windows SideShow display will also allow you to access key data even when your computer is off. It is also easier than ever to share files between other PCs in your household and to manage your laptop computer settings to more securely connect via Wi-Fi.

    Every edition of Windows Vista provides the essential tools and technologies to help protect you whether you are browsing the Internet, connecting to a wireless network, or just reading e-mail. All editions of Windows Vista include new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures long before you have lost any important personal data. And, all Windows Vista editions include parental control features that allow you to manage and monitor your family's use of games, the Internet, instant messaging, and other activities.

    Preloaded Software
    Includes Microsoft Works, Microsoft Office 2007 Student and Teacher Edition (60-day trial), Muvee Autoproducer Basic Edition, Roxio Creator 9 Basic, PC Recovery, HP PhotoSmart Essentials, and Symantec Norton Internet Security 2007 (with 60 days of Live Update).

    Dimensions & Weight
    This notebook measures 14.05 x 10.12 x 1.69 inches (WxHxD) and weighs 6.14 pounds.

    Power
    This notebook is powered by a 6-cell rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which offers up to 2 hours of battery life (dependent upon computing conditions).

    New Laptop Toshiba Portege R500

    One of the most exciting notebooks or laptop to come along in the last few months has been Toshiba’s R500. The new Toshiba laptop Portege R500 with 12.1 inch widescreen features is new Intel Core 2 Duo U7600 (Merom) platform, and is the first ultra portable laptop to incorporate an optical drive into a system that is less than one inch thick and weighs less than 2.5 pounds.


    The laptop Portege R500 has incredibly thin and light, it manages to squeeze a 12.1 inch widescreen display into a package even lighter than Sony's 11-inch VAIO TZ150. Though Toshiba does not have a reputation for making ultraportables, like Sony or Panasonic, they have been putting some serious effort into their R series.


    The Toshiba laptop Portege R500 has 64-bit, ultra-low voltage processor with 1.20GHz clock speed, 2MB L2 cache, and 533MHz front-side bus, optical drive, fingerprint reader, and a generous selection of ports in a stylish form factor that is so light and thin it’s shocking.

    The ultra-portable on Toshiba laptop Portege R500 is based on Mobile Intel 945GMS Express chipset with the integrated Graphic Media Accelerator 950, which manages a 12.1-inch 1280×800 LED backlight "highbrightness" display.


    The Toshiba laptop Portege R500 manages to fit in a decent-sized keyboard which made for comfortable typing, and even avoids the annoying ultraportable trap of eliminating important keys, squeezing in separate page-up and page-down keys (always important for laptop Web surfing). The port selection of the laptop Portege R500 is remarkably good for a notebook of this size.


    Other specification from the laptop Toshiba Portege R500 are Intel Wireless13 WiFi Link 4965AGN12 (802.11a/g/n), Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, System Windows Vista Experience Index: 2.0, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 with 64MB (Aero): 2.0 and 7mm, 8xDVD-SuperMulti (+/-R Single Layer) drive supporting 9 formats. The new laptop Toshiba Portege R500 is available in four different fixed-configuration models.
