You are browsing within the review sections of our forums. Content within these sections reflect consumer opinions of laptops. Our admins take the best and most objective laptop reviews and index them here to create a distinct selection of quality reviews with averaged overall ratings. Many of these reviews have benchmarks attached to them which allows for users to compare their laptop's performance with others, and ultimately enables us to provide a sortable list which at a glance show the fastest laptops amongst a variety of applications (gaming, video editing, web browsing, etc...). Help us build a better laptop database by submitting your laptop review.

Post HP 530 Review

Well, I said I would write a review on this machine once I received it, so here goes..
After a bad experiance with my Fujitsu, it got sent back! Received my refund and decided to go for a decent HP laptop. I received it just a few hours ago, and I must say when I switched it on I wasnt impressed, initial setup took about 30minutes, after it got past this and finally let me use the thing, well.. I was more than impressed. The Intel Centrino Dual Core 1.86Ghz proccessor handles pretty much anything you decide to throw at it, office 2007, photoshop.. you name it, it can do it!
The 1Gb of RAM really comes in handy when your doing the more strenuas of tasks. Wireless signal is great, I dont live in a new house, so all the walls are real stone and not that plasterboard you often find in modern ones, nor is it a small house, but wherever I went I had a good signal and was able to browse the internet without any problems at all.
Im not sure if this particular laptop has bluetooth or not, so I cant comment on that one. Now down to the touchpad and the keyboard, the touchpad is very differant on this model, because.. well.. there isnt one! It takes abit of getting used to but once youve got to grips with it, its easy to use and very precise, the keyboards keys are large enough to type without clipping surrounding keys and the 15.4" briteview screen really makes a differance too.
I payed for this laptop at 9pm on Monday evening and received it at 11am today (Tuesday). Very impressive, so my compliments to Ebuyer!
With an all inclusive price of £372.00, you cant go wrong, very recommended!
Anyone had any bad experiances with this laptop? Please let us all know, I have yet to come accross any. But I have only had it for about 3 hours
Cheers.
