NOT a geek

 

This laptop does exactly what I need it to do with no problem. I LOVE my portable computer and use it all the time now. The desktop is only for possible emergencies. My brother suggested this site for purchasing something reasonably and he was quite...

My problem comes in with attempting to use a warranty that supposedly would totally replace my computer if needed within the space of 2 years after the original warranty expired. The little spring in my battery compartment was broken the very first...

So Many HPs

 

It works great. Haven't had any problems with it yet

The extra keys on side of the main keyboard tend to throw you off from time to time when typing

HP

 

Bought on sale. For those of you complaining about the restore partition being to large. I guess that is true. I remember it being larger than normal. For users complaining there is no Windows OS DVD or Restore discs come with this notebook. I am not...

Decent laptop. I bought it on sale for some one. I set it up for them and they like it

The media keys are aligned on the left of the keyboard. It is annoying because it offsets where you are use to the tab, shift, ctrl is etc

HP 625 DEAD

 

The speakers had no volume. It didn't bother my wife too much as she regularly uses earbuds when she is using this. I had replaced the screen after she closed it on a jelly bean but that was several months ago...

When it worked, it had a nice long battery life

My wife bought this laptop for her business in Feb. Now that it's August the laptop on regular shutdown won't restart. No, POST on power up. Shuts down within 4 seconds

I like it

 

Aside from they keys to the left, had no issues so far - i really overall like the design, its really light weight - can't wait to use it more once i leave the office!

Nice design, very sleek. Great specs for the price

Keyboard has extra keys along left side. don't think you'll be typing normal. totally throws you off

Great cheap tech solution!!!

 

1 out of the 4 laptop displays went out 2 months after I received it. HP repaired and shipped it back to me within a week.

This is a great computer with somewhat beefy stats for the price. I purchased 4 units for technicians to troubleshoot data intensive tasks. These laptops go above and beyond what they were originally purchased for

No hard drive indicator light. A number pad would be nice

Not a bad laptop

 

Overall, I would recommend this laptop to someone that needs a laptop that has a decent bit of power for a small price.

Price. It's a nice peace of hardware for the money. Being dual core, it runs pretty much everything I need to run simultaneously without slowing down too bad

Battery life and HP bloatware ; The battery doesn't last long even when just sitting idle. Other laptops I've owned had much better battery life, so this one is a little disappointing ; The extra software HP installs can be a little annoying for those...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Can't beat the price.

 

Decent laptop has a hard time to go lower than 400 dollars. I think that's how it'll be for the next few years.

The price is excellent for a web surfing laptop. Been researching for a cheap one that's not a netbook, cause I needed a dvd drive. Also the memory can be upgraded to 8gb. Same with Harddrive. Has a sweet 2m webcam

The battery doesn't last long. Mine only lasted a little over an 1.5hr, then again I had everything in high setting. Also you gotta delete the extra trial programs. Though that's normal for any new laptop
