    Duration of ownership: 3 Years

    Strengths: No Strengths Not much good whent the thing will not even start up

    Weaknesses: Develops a fault where by it becomes very unstable and has trouble starting.

    Overall Evaluation: This notebook is an absolute lemon do not buy one. Mike was fine until it developed a fault. It has troble starting up. When the power button is pressed it will run the fan and the power and bluetooth leds will come on for 10 seconds then it will turn off. When the laptop is moved or the screen is moved the screen will go blank and it locks up. After looking on the internet I find this is a very common fault. I am taking the issue up with HP as I feel it is a manufacturing fault. So far they have not admitted that there is a problem with this notebook. A quick search on the internet would suggest otherwise. DO NOT BUY THIS LAPTOP.

    Strengths: decent speed and design, long battery life, and ...

    Weaknesses:

    Overall Evaluation: so good labtop for its price. After about a year of owning this computer, it work always perfectly. I'm very satisfied. Morover, it includes: (1) ATi MOBILITY RADEON 9600 which gives me a good gaming speed, (2) WiFi card which gives me Internet anywhere.
