Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Bought this laptop for a new business venture overseas but also wanted a PC that would fit on the docking station I'd bought to fit the same 84660P I'd been using as a company issued machine from previous employer. It seems to be a good solid laptop and practical good looks with brushed aluminium finish. It's not the lightest machine on the market or the thinest but when it's carried in a rucksack type bag, I can't get that excited over a few milimetres or a few grams. Battery life is more than acceptable with the availibility of around 5 hours on an aircraft with the wireless turned off. I'm thinking of fitting an SSD drive to maybe extend this further and speed up boot times as storage capacity isn't a major concern for me. Built in webcam is good for Skype and the audio is acceptable but if you want privacy and reduce background noise, you'll probably want a cheap headset. There's also a little LED light to illuminate the keyboard although I think you get more light from the screen unless you have dark backgrounds. Keyboard has a good feel but like most laptops, you'd not want to type a novel on one. The keys have quite a short travel but have a positive feedback when pressed. It has an SD card slot (Supports HC cards above 2Gb) and I think a PCMCIA port which has a blank fitted over it above the DVD writer combo. Not had cause to use it so can't verify but with all the built in connectivity (Bluetooth, WIFI etc) I can't think why you'd need one these days, unless you have some legacy memory cards.Other usual ports include a firewire, USB and ESATA on the right hand side of the machine, together with mic and audio out. On the left hand side is the SD card slot, DVD Combo, 2 further USB ports and a small port that I've never used. I must read the manual to see what it does one day. On the rear of the machine is a SVGA port, Ethernet and modem. It also has a finger print reader on the right hand wrist rest which can be used for logging in and other password substitute functionality. Custom HP security software supports the device and I've been quite impressed with its reliability so far. Screen clarity is ok but not massive. A DVD looks good enough when I've tried it but generally if I watch something whilst travelling, I tend to use stored media on the HDD or USB stick to reduce battery drain. If you intend to use the PC from a desk for prolonged periods, I would recommend obtaining the docking station. This allows a dual monitor setup to be employed and give additional connectivity including DVI and HDMI ports and PS2 ports for mouse and keyboard. In summary, it's a good solid feeling laptop that feels like it will withstand the rigours of international travel. The downside is that it's a bit heavy and angular in construction. For business and leisure use, it has served me well. I've not tried playing any games on it so no idea how it would perform but it does everything you'd need from a corporate machine on the move.Read full review
This is a great small laptop. made for the business market, so really robust, and in my opinion much better than most of the home - non commercial models out there. Brushed aluminium case looks and feels good. Good screen and and practical full sized keyboard. Does everything you want it to do. Only down side is the fact it is little bit heavier than the home based laptops and quit a bit thicker, however this is not a problem. Fast CPU good level of RAM CD drive and all the usual features of a top business model. supports windows 10 with no problems Buy it, try it and love it.
