User Reviews for HP EVO N610C

  • Reviewed by: kpeirce

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: good controls and keyboard

    Weaknesses: disk drive, power supply

    Overall Evaluation: In the past 18 months the hard drive had to be recovered once. The unit recently failed as I was using it. The green power LED doesn't come on with multiple compay laptop power supplies tried. First laptop I have ever owned that died like this. I had an old Compaq Armada 4020 laptop that still works fine after 8 years! This laptop runs pretty hot and I suspect that it might last longer if used with a fan tray under it.
