 Windows vista experience = 3 June 4, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Lets start by saying it is a pretty laptop indeed!
Nice HD,the most of it's ram capacity, so, i don't understand why it is so slow! I guess windows vista sucks and this is the major problem because otherwise with 4 ram and a dual core 2.0 ghz procesor i would expect to run nice and smooth! But it does not!
It gets too hot fast and speakers are pretty lame!
don't get me wrong, it's just an average machine, don't spend time and money on this if you are tryin to work with heavy programs that involve nice sound and video or graphics! But it's ok for everything else though!
To me, this is a 600$ laptop instead of the almost thousand it costs!
 DV2840SE Laptop June 2, 2008

I've had this laptop for a month now and I couldn't be happier.Bought this for a super price ($820) after rebate from Amazon. This laptop is fully loaded with 250GB hard Drive 4GB Ram, Wireless ABGN with Bluetooth. Remote Control and beautiful finish with a cool design. Machine is very fast and stylish. Battery life with the standard battery is only a couple of hours. Laptop does get a bit warm on the bottom, but not as hot as my 4 year old Mac Powerbook. The only thing missing from this machine is an HDMI connection which I would have liked. Reality was, that I would not really use it that much anyway and there is still RGB output and S Video. I hear HP tech support is lousy but hopefully this laptop won't need support.
First 2 days - Great so far but... May 25, 2008

Great notebook so far... but the blue Status led sockets (power, charge, hard disk) are sharp and keep scraping my wrists when typing. Also the keyboard to the right where the arrow keys are if you repeatedly press the "down arrow" key or the "right arrow" key; it feels as if the keyboard is not screwed down or it's just "slotted" in kind of "floating". Any other owners have this issue? Also the battery pack is shaky... not tripping off or anything but it's shaky.
 Nice laptop but hard to see symbols on it and no guidebook May 25, 2008

When I first saw this laptop (which I got for my husband) I was impressed with its' sleekness. However, when we actually got down to using it, we found there was no insruction book and the symbols (eg. to increase volume, etc.) were very hard to see - the color contrast is minimal. If you are very young this is a nice machine - if you are older you may want to look a lttle further.
Love my new laptop! May 24, 2008

I've had my new laptop for about 2 weeks. I love it. The outside design is very cool, but it was the many features packed into such a compact laptop at a great price that sold me.It is smaller and lighter than my previous laptop. The computer boots quickly and connection to my network and the internet was simple. This laptop even has a switch in the front to turn off the wireless in case you're in an area that you do not want to chance someone accessing your computer or to just save on battery power. The battery time is OK, but I ordered a 12 cell replacement from Ebay to supplement. The built in speakers are pretty good and the webcam works great. The 250 MB hard drive was one of the largest I saw on the market, as was 4 Gig of Ram. It will easily accommodate larger files and multitasking will not slow things down. I also like that the little remote control tucks into the side of the laptop so that you won't misplace it. I am not a gamer, so I didn't need some of the higher end graphic capabilities. This computer is perfect for surfing, small business, picture and media viewing and editing, or for a student. I'm considering purchasing the optional TV tuner. I would highly recommend this laptop!
