Pros: This laptop still carries Win XP Pro which is nice and stable. I do not plan on upgrading to Vista now and this gave me a great XP laptop solution for cheap. Newegg offered ultra fast shipping on this unit.
Cons: This laptop has only 1 slot for memory. I ordered a second stick thinking that it would have a second expansion slot for ddr2 but no such luck. Beware that all upgrades have to go into the 1 memory slot provided. The battery life after the first full initial charge reads 1.5 hours - hardly the 2.2 hours advertised here. I am going to look into why this is. I assumed I'd get more battery time.
Overall Review: HP makes a great unit. I feel that this model is fairly well built. I don't like that all the usb ports are on the left side of the unit. This is not so great if you use a right handed cordless mouse. I rate this unit as average - and priced right. As always, shop newegg!
