I am very impressed by this laptop. It's got everything: Intel duo core i3, 64-bit, 500GB, nice wide screen display, etc., etc. It is slim and beautifully finished. As another reviewer pointed out, it looks a lot more expensive than other machines that cost a lot more and offer a lot less. I highly recommend the Acer Aspire TimelinX 6645.

HP Pavilion dv6-3240us 15.6-Inch Entertainment Notebook PC - Silver Review

I am not a novice to technology starting in the 1990's with DOS. Having owned 6 laptops prior I was sold on Dell until lately. Their customer service, battery life, HD crashes, etc. caused me to look at other brands.
The Hewlett Packard DV6-3240 us initially caught my eye do to the style; sleek, lighted logo, and pewter color. Sweet. But the real love affair begins when you open the lid - lighted, spill resistant keyboard, quick keys (email, browser, print calculator, etc. to the left) blu-ray, finger print identification, burns your label on your cd...wow. When watching videos streamed or Youtube, I would have to wait for it to buffer. No more. The HD sound and picture is phenomenal. I love this computer. Even the HP backgrounds are amazing.
The finger print ID is a plus. No more logging in, remembering your password, looking for where you wrote it down...having that "Oh yeah, I had to change it, but what is it?" moment. After you do the initial set up...wah-la...swipe your finger and you're in. This until pairs beautifully with the HP printer (yes, I threw the Dell wireless printer out the door after reinstalling the drivers no less than 15+ times due to no communication...grrrrrr). The set up is a breeze. As you can tell, I definitely recommend this computer.

HP Pavilion dv6-3230us Entertainment Laptop (Silver) Review

This is truly an amazing machine. A huge step up from my old 1.6ghz single-core laptop. The computer is extremely fast and the fingerprint reader is far beyond what I expected. You can 'enroll' your fingerprints (any fingers you want, you can even do all of them) and then set certain fingers to open certain programs. Up to 3 on each finger.
The webcam is very good as well. I was surprised how well it works in low light situations. You can see perfectly!
The only thing I dislike about the computer is the mouse. But you're gonna hear that from the majority of people with a dv6 or similar model. (I bought an external mouse to fix the issue). It's hard to press down when you are trying to drag something. But when you are just browsing the internet then it is fine because I just tap it. I like how it has a mouse lock. You tap twice the small circle in the upper left hand corner and it's locked. Do the same to unlock it.
Also, what I didn't like at first, but now I don't mind, is the keyboard. It has an extra set of keys on the left hand side making it kind of confusing to know where your fingers are. At first I was thinking about returning it but then I got used to it. The keys feel great, well at least to me.
In my opinion you should check out this laptop in store first to see if you like the mouse and keyboard and such.
Overall, this is a great machine (besides the mouse of course). If you think you can look past that flaw then this would be a great product for you at a great price!
BTW- I didn't buy from Amazon (It was $699 at the time). I'm not sure how great Amazon is with computer products. I bought it from office max for $549 on 2/4/11. But they're most likely sold out by now. If you want a cheaper price than amazon, which I recommend, go to HP.com or office depot. Which are both $599.

Probook 4530S 15.6" I5-2410M Review

Probook 4530S 15.6 I5-2410M
Average Reviews:

This laptop has all the features that anyone would practically need. The price keeps dropping so any newcomers will definitely benefit from its lowered cost.
The only reason I didn't give it the full 5 star treatment were several reasons.
cons first
1. No instruction manual, download the HP 4530s pdf ONLINE, I Goggled it.
2. No Win 7 Pro Repair disk, available separately for $10 on Amazon or eBay.
3. Download Win 7 Pro updates from Microsoft, many and timely but necessary.
4. UPS delivered, arrived OK but packing was almost non-existent in a large box. The HP box had enough packing though, so the laptop seemed protected.
5. Be prepared for a lot of garbage which can be removed.
positives next
1. After running setup which was timely, I was impressed with the numerous features and add-ons that came with this model. I compared this HP with several other makes and this laptop excels against similar
i5-2410s.
2. Value for monies paid will surely increase buyers interests obviously.
3. This Sandy Bridge make all the previous i5s pale in comparison. My recommendation is to get the i5 with its turbo boost and never look back.
4. The newly listed price from Circuit City/Amazon is fantastic for a "Sandy Bridge" i5 laptop.
5. The unit seems sturdy enough.
6. I like the ease of upgrading the laptop. Flip it over, remove the bottom plates and you can get to the RAM, HDD, etc quite handily.
7. The HD+ screen was quite a bonus for these old eyes.
8. The offset touchpad was OK.
9. The Cap lite is a necessity for me and this unit has one.
20. The Intel video with its turbo boost on shared video is supposed to really make a difference, as told to me by a friend who swears by it. We shall see.
Overall, I'm looking forward to video editing and doing Photoshop, which were my main reasons on getting this HP. As to its reliability, time will tell.
Footnote, June 7.
Runs quite cool and very quiet. No problems so far. May need to get a Vi Dock 4, or better; to boost my integrated video. Seems that the onboard video is a bit lacking and adding an Ati card via the expresscard slot should solve that problem.

I received this Dell lappy via Buybooksnow on amazon for $602. Great value in that it has the Sandy Bridge I5 processor in it and it has 2 USB 3.0s as well(which I did not see listed in the specs). Anyhow, it came with only one of the memory slots filled so it was very easy to upgrade to 6 or 8gb of RAM. It is lightening quick and does everything I need. The only thing holding this computer back is the integrated graphics, but you are not going to get a computer like that for 6 hundred bucks. Time will tell, but this looks like one of the best deals I have ever gotten on Amazon.
