HP nx6325 Review

[imacmatt09]

I got this laptop for school because it was cheap and looked go... boy was I in for a surprise.

Build Quality

Well its not to great. Both touch pad buttons broke off. Card slot died. PC card slot eject button will not stay in. One of the arrow keys broke off.. I stole.. i mean found a replacement.

If you hold it by a corner it flexes quite a bit.

Key board is spongy

Touch Pad was good til it broke.

We will get into the screen later.

Display

Ok now we are getting to the worst part of the computer!. The Res sucks. Its a finger print magnet. If you have the Brightness all the way up you still cant see the display (very well) in normal lighting. BUT THE WORST PART IS: There are lines that run horizontally across the screen! They even show up in screen shots!!


More coming soon
