Reviews

This brings me to good things. Ubuntu 9.10 is installed on your computer without any problem. The volume buttons and graphics acceleration hardware good job, and multiple monitors (using the internal LCD and external monitor) working outside the window. The button to disable the trackpad and the button to disable the wireless working under Ubuntu (as the corresponding LED). LED indicators for things like caps lock, num lock, trackpad, wireless, and merge the laptop well. Wired and Wireless (B and G, at least) are both working properly. NTFS resizing also worked fine. The machine is fast enough, with both operating systems, although the 5400 rpm impede the time to start the application. graphics performance is very good for professional applications, I do not play games on a general-purpose computers, however, so my standards may be lower than that of people who spend more than a video card that I made on this notebook together. I like the track pad pretty well, and the handset feels solid enough. I have not tried the HDMI output or media card reader integrated with an operating system yet. I suppose it will work once, I’ll post a follow-up if one fails. For the record, I’d be willing to trade for HDMI and Bluetooth.:)

The only other thing to note is the layout of the keyboard. There is an end “Shared Key with the number 1 on the keyboard, and another end above the numeric keypad (the lock on the sliding share / sys req button). I am in love with the transition” + order “(and Shift + Home) keyboard shortcuts to select everything from the cursor to the end (or beginning) of the line. However, by pressing the “shift” and more “end” key actually makes the keyboard type to 1. E ‘minor, but bothers me.

Speaking of boring – do not install Windows Media is (I bet that a CD costs less than paper and microfiber fabric notebook HP has chosen to bundle). You can create a set of installation disks if you want to use a tool included, even if (only one side supported by the tool, although there is a DVD double layer here), be sure to do it before you wipe a Windows machine to install Linux. :) If anything, it is easier to sell the license if you have a support that goes with it. ;)

Overall, if I could get another of these at the same price I bought it for (Black agreement Friday with a couple of other benefits, including the repayment agreement in the process), I ‘do not hesitate to do so. Yes, I spent most of this review trenches on little things, but the main good things are already evident. The processor and memory included is very good, the disk capacity is good (although it is slower than a 7200 RPM disk), the screen quality is excellent and the sound is good for a laptop. Windows 7 does not suck as Windows in the past, and support of Linux on this device is very good.
