Duration of ownership: 54 Days
Strengths: Fast dual core, dvd burner, wireless
Weaknesses:memory is small
Overall Evaluation: The laptop comes with 1.9GHz AMD Athlon 64x2 dual core processor. It is faster than my prevoius Pentium M processor. It suprised me that the vista gives this processor a much higher score than Intel 's dual core processor in my another laptop while someboday told me Intel dual core is faster. The memory definitely needs to be upgraded to 2GB or 3GB. If you are lucky, you can get a laptop with 1 stick 1GB, otherwise there are 2 sticks 512MB inside so you need to replace both of them. I am happy with the laptop.

Strengths: Good price, fast processor
Weaknesses:case is not good as pavilion
Overall Evaluation: The laptop is a budget laptop. The price is good compared with other core 2 duo laptops. It is enough for many applications except you are doing video and graphics editing work. The AMD processor in the laptop is fast, it give me higher vista score than Intel Dual core with same clock speed. I am very happy with it.

Strengths: great deal, cheap and quite fast for the price
Weaknesses:1 gb ram (easily upgradable)
Overall Evaluation: on sale at staples, then used a $30 of $150 coupon bought on ebay. saved money there. then came w/ a free hp printer after rebate. so will pay $430 including printer. can't beat that. lappy is quite fast for only 1 gb ram, burns dvd's etc. 120 gb h.d. Looks pretty. great deal for anyone looking for a basic laptop. AMD processor works fine for everyday tasks, i'm running windows aero and gadgets and it is still plenty fast, even w/ 1 gb ram. hopefully it stays this good! go buy it!

Strengths: Great value for the money, lightweight for a 15" notebook hence very portable
Weaknesses:not the best performance
Overall Evaluation: a perfect budget laptop for either personal use, like web-serfing, or business use, like presentation and etc. Its weight is quite good consider it has a 15.4" screen. The performance is not the best like Apple or IBM, but pretty decent for the price. The screen looks nice too.

Duration of ownership: 1 Months
Strengths: It is really portable and easy to carry. Has bright screen. Well built!
Weaknesses:1GB ram is kind of small. May need upgrade in the future
Overall Evaluation: It is great laptop considered the price tag. I used this for daily work and watching movie and burn CDs. I can do pretty much everything I'm doing on my desktop. Not for gamer though. 1GB RAM is small for Vista. You may need memory upgrade.
