Laptop keyboard with numeric keypad
There is amulti-touch touchpad which may take some time to get
used to for people who haven’t used this kind of control before. It
has the primary and secondary buttons as part of the bottom
margin in the same way that the HP Envy has for its touchpad.
It is powered with the Intel Core i5 processor “engine” and is
supplied with 4Gb RAM with 1Gb set aside for display memory.
The graphics “engine” is ahighly-robust ATI Mobility Radeon HD
4350 series which would be good enough for most business
tasks, even video playback.
The secondary storage options are on apar with acurrent-issue
laptop of this class. It has a500Gb hard disk with 1.8Gb partition
for HP software. It also has atray-load DVD burner that can label
LightScribe optical discs and amemory-card reader for
removeable storage.
You also get good things when it comes to connectivity with
3USB ports and 1eSATA external-disk port as well as an
ExpressCard 34 slot for additional functionality. External
displays can be connected using aVGA or HDMI connector.
Business software complement
The operating system for this laptop is Windows 7Professional
which is the version of Windows or7 Iwould recommend and
have recommended in this blog for small business and
professional use. It has the features of Windows 7Home
Premium plus other features that make itbusiness-friendly.
The unit is supplied with avery good business software
complement with an inplace ready-to-enable distribution of
Microsoft Office Professional, McAfee Total Protection
web-managed desktop security software as well as WinZip 12.
Hewlett-Packard have also put in their own branded
system-protection tools which are developed by Digital Persona,
which provide password management, facial-recognition,
secure-erase, device-usage control amongst other things.
Observations and Ecperiences
The computer doesn’t run hot too quickly after extended periods
of use, thus allowing it to be comfortabie to use. If it gets hot, the
heat is passed out the left hand side rather than being felt on the
bottom of the machine.
Its battery has alump which can tilt the laptop up slightly also to
allow better cooling and comfortable use. This lump has arubber
ridge to protect the good dining-room table but the design could
extend to full width of battery for better protection
The extra-length battery that came with this machine allowed it
to complete afeature move on DVD with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
enabled. Infact there was 41% of power available after the movie
was completed and these tests were done with Windows Media
Player playing “Munich” and the computer running on the
HP-defined default power configuration. This then would mean
that it could run along time without you needing to look for
apower
The other thing Ialso admired about this machine is that the
metal finish keeps its look even if it is well used unlike alot of
the glossy finishes used on laptops that attract fingermarks and
the like. It also feels cool to handle and is the kind of finish that
would cope with long-timeuse.
Limitations and Points Of Improvement
The main limitation with this computer is that it is too heavy for
frequent public-transport travel, which may cut it out for
frequent air travellers. Some people may find that the long-run
battery’s large size and lump may be alimitation for packing and
could be improved with abattery that is more cell-dense.
Other than that, there aren’t any other limitations that would
impact on its positioning as abusiness-home home laptop
computer.
Conclusion and Placement Notes
I would recommend this as abusiness-home laptop or desktop
replacement for professionals and small-business operators who
are likely to take the unit between home and their place of work.
It also comes with business-grade security software that is
available at prices and licensing quantities that small business
can stomach.
