I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC, and I really like it. It has a wide screen that is ideal for watching movies, and a very stylish look to it. There's also and integrated webcam and microphone. I'm not sure how long the battery life is since I always have it on the charger. But, the rare times I do not have it hooked up, it seems to last fairly well if the settings are properly adjusted to power saver. I don't really like the quick launch buttons at above the keyboard since they do not respond all the time. They're not regular buttons but just like a touch pad type thing. The sound isn't always as loud as I want it to be, but usually I'll just hook it up to different speakers if this happens. Lastly, it's not meant to be lightweight for business of college so I don't carry it around too much. What are the pros and cons of your laptop?

I am using a IBM Lenovo ThinkPad T60, which is actually a company laptop. I think it's pretty good, though I have been using it for about two years, the performance and battery life is still quite satisfactory. Of course, if I have more harddisk space with the laptop, then it'll be better for me to store more songs and pictures in it. It is quite light, so I can always carry it around, from office to home. Actually I have not really find any disadvantages of this laptop, or perhaps the only disadvantage is that the design is not stylish, but it is good for business use. lol

That sounds like a sufficient laptop =] lightweight business laptops really do interest me since it's always cool to see how companies can innovate new technology that is more user friendly. Although I do like the design of my laptop I'm pretty sure I'd still love it even if it weren't as appealing to the eye =]

I am using Compaq V6500, AMD 64x2 processor (Athlon). Everything is nice and sweet until you consider an entertainment laptop. But, you know, I am a game addicted personality, just can't imagine to sit and do nothing without playing game, even when exams are wandering over my head and I know nothing. I bought this one because it was the only on my budget that have 12b MB graphics card that could enable me to play high-end games. Ironically, I told my father that I'll be using it for my graphic designing work.

I only crave for more speedy and and more advanced graphic card, space is not a problem for me. I'll soon buy a gaming laptop, ASAP.

I've been using an old school laptop for years(Toshiba Portege 7010CT). It was a birthday present from hubby.. I've never had problems with it but what i dislike about my notebook is the slow video card and poor battery life.. I have plans of buying a new one and hopefully my budget permits me to do so..=)

I have Acer Ferrari 4000, AMD turion 64 mobile technology laptop. The best thing of this laptop is that it has a very good looking body, with a original ferrari logo on it. And the body is of carbon fiber which really looks very good. The screen is 15.4 inch and is very good for watching movies. i like the keyboard keys and the mouse pad because the control over the courser is very good. BUT ... The looks are good but there are few problems in it. The worst thing is that it usually gets very hot when heavy applications are running like games and when it goes really hot it suddenly turns off. There are few file formats such as .flv format, when ever i play this format it gets very hot and turns off. IT blows very hot air out. there are also some more problems like i think its ram needs to be replaced i mean overall i did not have good experience with it. I am planning to change it. hope i will get a better laptop next time. keep smiling

I have a Toshiba Satellite L35. I like it because it's my very first own laptop. I got it since mid-2007. What I don't like much about it is its slow startup, as in very slow. It would take a few minutes before I can start working on the computer. It's Vista Basic and runs on Celeron M. I also don't like it everytime I have to close a browser, the ones linked to it are also automatically closed up. That's why I am careful everytime I close a browser, otherwise, it ends up starting over again. I'm cool with it though as it's all I've got. I can't afford to buy a new one and I'm sticking with this. It's better than having no laptop.

I have a really old laptop, cause I use my computer all the time. The display of my laptop is broken, so i can only see the upper half of the display. That kinda pisses me off. Plus it's really heavy. Would you use a broke laptop if you had a way better computer? Hehe, i don't think so. But i have to say that a laptop looks way better than a computer, cause it isn't that big and you can sit and work with it wherever you want. Damn.... why don't I have a nice laptop? :D

I usually do not respond to discussions about computers, because I don't really consider myself to be an expert in this area, but I just had to respond because I recently purchased an identical laptop to yours approximately a month ago. I think that I got a relatively good deal for it and I am more than happy with the display screen and all of the features that you've mentioned previously.

Like you I find the quick launch buttons do not always respond. I thought perhaps it was me, but now I see it is not. The sound on the laptop is relatively low, however I purchased my laptop as part of a package that included, a docking station, a wireless mouse, a TV tuner that allows me to use my laptop as a PVR, and a headset. The volume on the laptop does not bother me as I usually have the headphones on, as I use speech recognition software. However, as you've already said it is easy to hook up alternate speakers as the plug in is right on the front. The weight is also not an issue for me because I'm using it as a replacement for a desktop computer and so I did not care about the weight and it's a good thing because I think we have one of the heaviest laptops going.

I am not sure, if you bought the laptop alone or as part of a package deal but one of the huge selling points for me personally was the fact that I got a docking station as well, which gives me up to a total of 10 USB ports. The fact that our laptop and is considered to be an entertainment laptop and has 4 GB of RAM, was what finally tipped the scales and convinced me to make such a costly purchase just before Christmas. I am hopeful, that I will have enough memory to be able to meet all of my needs for now and if all goes well, quite a while into the future.

Overall, I'm very happy with my laptop are you?


myLot reputation of 96/100. schwing_girl89 (149)   ranked 79 out of 1,261 in laptop  4 years ago

I didn't purchase mine with such a package, but it did interest me when I read in the manual that it is capable of being used as a television. It's my first laptop so I was overwhelmed with joy upon being able to buy it =] It's cool to know someone else can appreciate it. =]

I love my laptop to be portable and the soft and low profile keypad. The problem with my laptop is the limited graphic performance that affects game play. The limited HDD space limited the number of files and programmes that I can install on my Laptop. It keyboard is small and I feel that my hands are restricted from large movements. Most importantly, I cannot get used to the 14.1" screen. I am more comfortable with 17" and above for my viewing pleasure. Cheers and Happy MyLotting...

In fact I am satisfied with my laptop. But if you ask me the reason that I dislike it. Then I have to tell you one but this is not a reasonable reason:) I dislike that the hard disk it's big enough. I always have so many large files and I need a super large hard disk. But I know it will run out soon:)

I love Chinathumbupthumbupthumbup
