This is my first laptop and so far it is good. It was so easy connecting to the home internet because of the network search features, it took me about 3 minutes to set it up. the graphics are awesome and crystal clear.
It comes loaded with a ton of extra stuff and some of it is hard to remove but it comes off after you figure out the keys.
The deal on it was good so I bought it. Overall it is good for sufing the net and writing my papers.
Pro : Easy to use, and learn.
Con : First time startup was 20 minutes long

The unit takes an average of twenty minutes to boot up with many of the start-up programs already blocked off and very little information on the hard drive. No music, very few pictures and only a few documents. (43.9GB free space) We use Roadrunner broadband to connect to the internet. My old antiquated laptop, which has only 40 GB hard drive capacity, runs well from internet site to internet site while her brand new HP runs like it is on dial-up rather than broadband. Slow, slower and slowest. After three attempts with HP technical support, (many of whom do not speak the English language in a manner in which it can be easily understood), It was explained to me that the reason for the sluggish operation was due to the fact that Vista has a much larger operating system than XP and in order for it to run at a satisfactory speed more RAM is required in the memory module than the basic 512MB that came with the notebook.
Now if the machine comes loaded with Windows Vista and is sold by HP wouldn’t it be reasonable to assume that the product would have the acceptable RAM to adequately handle the operating system the customer is being “forced” to use? It is mind boggling to be told that in order for the machine to run properly the customer has to upgrade the memory module and shell out extra dollars in order to do so!!!
Pro : Great screen, graphics, appearance, keyboard
Con : slow, slow and slower
