HP iPAQ RX1950 Pocket PC Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There is a firmware update for the iPAQ rx1950/1955 that fixes the power on problem when using an SD card. If you go to hp.com, pick Software & Driver Downloads, then type in the product name and continue, then pick Windows Mobile 5.0, you'll see a list of updates for the unit. Right now there is an (OS) ROM update, and a firmware update. The firmware update is the one that fixes this problem, but if you are planning to load the OS/ROM update as well, load that one first, then load the Firmware update. You should always back up all your data before applying an update.
I also had a similar problem when I didn't have the battery cover on and latched just right, but that's OK now too, as long as I don't drop the thing on the ground.

Hewlett Packard Wa980uaraba Hp Factory Recertified Compaq Presario Cq61-411wm Laptop M120/as-2.0g 2048mb/2-d Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am more than your average user and this is a great laptop and especially for the price. I purchased this so that I get a basic and cheap laptop for online browsing, emails, and etc..., and I got more than what I expected. The AMD Sempron performs outstanding with Win 7 (64 bit). It came with 2GB RAM and even an HD 4200 ATI video card (resolution is phenomenal). I thought I was going to require memory upgrade and little I knew. The 2GB stick is more than enough. I am able to encode and burn DVD's. I deleted many of the pre-installed trial software and installed software such as Office 2007 and including several freeware tools (firewall, anti virus, cleaning, backup & recovery, and etc...) and no problems. The wireless wizard setup connected to my home network since day one and connectivity has not dropped ever since (router is in basement while laptop is on second floor). I like these laptops with numeric key pad next to the keyboard, unlike old laptops where it was a challenge to use the keyboard as a numeric key pad. I am not a fan of touch pads, but these new ones are easier and comfortable on your finger (although I still use my wireless mouse). It has three USB ports, which makes it convenient for when you have external devices. This is my 5th HP/Compaq laptop and I like their website/support. The bottom line is, this laptop performs and delivers.

Toshiba Satellite C655-S5049 15.6" Laptop (Intel Celeron Processor 900, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, Windows 7 Home Premium) Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had this Laptop for a week now and I love it more everyday. I was very surprised at just how fast it is. I'm the type of person that tries to do 10 things at once and I love that I can have 10 different pages open going back and forth and the Laptop zooms right alone with me. A Hugh plus in my book is the number pad, when your use to a desktop keyboard and start using a Laptop it is a wonderful feature. To be completely fair there is one flaw the built in speaker is very low, but if you use headphones it has a great sound. So, for the money this is a GREAT Laptop. I still can't believe all is has to offer for such a low price.

HP Compaq Presario CQ62-214NR 2.2GHz Intel Celeron 900 2GB 250GB 15.6" 802.11n DVD-RW DL Windows 7 HP WQ779UA Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As technology continues to go down in price, along come a laptop that fits right in the pocket for performance and price. I have loved my Macbook Pro ever since I switched to a Mac but purchased this for my business. It has just about everything you need and the things it doesn't have, (a webcam and bluetooth, for instance) can be purchased for almost nothing if you need them.
It comes with 2gb of ram and a 250 gb hard drive. The processor is plenty fast for nearly all things you need a laptop to do. The case is textured and doesn't feel like it's going to fall out of your hands at any second when you pick it up. The screen looks great and having Windows 7 Home Premium is SO much better than Vista.
All in all, I like it. I like it a lot.

HP EliteBook 2730p - Core 2 Duo SL9600 / 2.13 GHz LV - Centrino 2 with vPro - RAM 2 GB - HDD 160 GB - GMA X4500HD - Gigabit Ethernet - WLAN : Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, 802.11 a/b/g/n (draft) - TPM - fingerprint reader - Vista Business - 12.1" Widescreen TFT 1280 x 800 ( WXGA ) - Microsoft Office Ready Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my second HP business tablet. You can find my review of the 2710p somewhere on Amazon. The fact that this is the second HP tablet I bought should tell you something.
My model is like the one listed here, but with an outdoor screen (higher contrast for use outdoors).
The positives:
+ LOW weight. Check the specs, but having schlepped everything from a "desktop replacement" 17 inch laptop to a netbook, I can say that this thing is LIGHT.
+ LONG battery life. I haven't run down the internal battery yet, and it has gone well over 4 hours. This may have something to do with Windows 7, which I have installed. A 4+ hour battery life at this weight is awesome. I'll add the slim battery slice and probably have over 12hrs of battery life.
+ Well-built. This computer, like its predecessor the 2710p, uses lots of metal and feels solid in your hands. I abused the heck out of my 2710p, and never had any problems with any hinges, latches, screen, etc.
+ Fast. My 2710p was a 1.2GHz/4GB RAM, which felt pretty slow. This one feels very fast and responsive in comparison, and much faster than an AMD 1.9GHz dual core that I also have. With an SSD, this thing would really fly.
+ Quiet. This one is even quieter than its predecessor. The fan rarely turns on. I can take notes in meetings without the disturbing whine of the fan.
+ Screen. The screen is awesome. I can work outside in sunlight with snow on the ground. Writing on the screen is very natural feeling, like writing on paper with a good ballpoint pen.
+ The little things. Built-in camera works GREAT with any video phone/conferencing app. There is no feedback, camera quality is good, and frame rate is good at 800x600. Stylus doesn't get lost due to a friction lock (2710p stylus would pop out and wander away). Keyboard has a good feel and is full size.
The negatives:
- Speakers. I didn't think the speakers could get WORSE than the 2710p, but the speaker on this thing is barely louder than a headphone removed 30ft from your head. The speakers are simply awful.
- Video output. There is no DVI output. Come on HP, this thing is not a 10-year old platform, why can't you put a DVI port on this or the dock?
- 2 USB ports. TWO USB ports is NOT enough. Period.
- Power block. The power block is small, but it could be MUCH smaller. This tablet fits great in a portfolio, but where do you stick the power block? I guess if you have the slim battery slice, you won't need the power block much, but still, it sure would be nice to have a tiny power supply BUILT IN to the laptop so that all you need was a cord. Compaq made laptops with built-in power supplies many years ago. I'd really like to see that come back.
- Screen. I know I said the screen is awesome, but I'd like just a bit more real estate and higher resolution. There is about 1/2 inch all the way around the edge that they could stuff some more pixels into.
Summary:
This tablet, like its predecessor, is a winner. No, it's not a Mac, and I'm very happy about that. I don't need to be "cool" with my electronics, I need them to do what I want and how I want without paying extra for "cool" and fighting the manufacturer at every turn to get the thing to work the way _I_ want. Besides, there is no Mac tablet. Once you use a tablet, you will wonder how you got by without one. I only considered this one and a Thinkpad, because I want the touchstick mouse, which is MUCH easier to use than an external mouse or touchpad when you are in a vehicle or moving around. This one gets a nod with its add on battery that is a slim slice on the bottom instead of a bulky extension on the back. I also got burned a couple of times after Lenovo bought Thinkpad.
Get this tablet for half price from HP refurb. For less than this thing costs new, I got it with an external 24" screen, 3 year accidental damage, docking station, external keyboard, extended battery, and received it in 3 days.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The first set of 2 computers were returned at my cost as verified defective, then the second 2 had the typical worn out hinges. Still waiting for a refund, still shipped at my cost. How they are still active on Amazon is amazing to me. these were not purchased as used units, but represented as properly serviced ready for work... Steve
