Mistygirl Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The $298 HP is the same one that was sold at the secret sale a few weeks ago, right? Anyone care to review it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikefree Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 So far the only thing I've used it for is going online (browsing and listening to internet radio) and I like it. The only thing I'd have to say I don't like about it is that the screen from top to bottom doesn't show as much as my desktop. Oh, and if you do a lot on it without the power cord nearby, you only get about 3 hours or so out of the battery. I leave mine plugged in most of the time, so that part doesn't bother me. It comes with Windows 7, which didn't take very long to get used to. As far as the disk drive/dvd player part of it, I haven't tried that yet, so I can't give you a review on it. Overall, I'm satisfied with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karleen77 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I love the laptop. Is does have a short battery life, but other then that I think it's great.. The light scribe cd thing is nice too. I'm glad I bought it, It's not my primary computer, but it's nice to have while sitting and watching TV and I want to be online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noretail Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Only an hour? That doesn't seem right. My HP laptop I bought almost 4 years ago still gets 2-3 on a charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistygirl Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Does it have a webcam??No webcam. Thanks everyone for the reviews. :) I had thought about getting this when it was at the Secret Sale, but decided to see what else came along. I didn't find anything else so I ordered it online early Fri. morning as soon as it became available. And it has already shipped! This will be replacing a Dell Vostro 1500 that I got two years ago. I think I found that deal here. The screen is out on it and it isn't worth replacing it. The specs on the new one aren't as good, but I think it will do. I had thought about a netbook, but for the price I think this is a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yuyi64 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Only an hour? That doesn't seem right. My HP laptop I bought almost 4 years ago still gets 2-3 on a chargeI agree. All my laptops (ranging in age from one to three years old) got at least 3 hours when brand new, and even now get at least 1.5 to 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
