HP Compaq 8510w Review

 

The notebook that was provided to us is a pre-production unit, and this specific configuration for our notebook did not fit any of the preconfigured models available online, but I would estimate this laptop would cost about $2899 if ordered via HP.com

One of the thinnest and lightest 15.4” notebooks ; Extreme graphics power, top notch overall horsepower ; Extreme screen resolution with better than average vertical viewing angles ; BluRay drive is available on the more expensive models ; Good range...

Pricey because of the workstation GPU, look into the 8510p to spare your wallet from certain doom ; Screen housing needs some improvement, as it is about average now for a consumer laptop ; Keyboard is not as good as predecessor, and is only a little...

The notebook also comes equipped with an HP Backup and Recovery Utility that allows you to create your own backup discs and do regular backups of your OS and data

All around terrible

 

System was advertised as 8510W, box said 8510W, system was 8510P with smaller HDD and lower grade ATI graphics instead of nVidia. An acquaintance of mine had exactly the same experience with exactly the same item. Be aware of mismatch and the fact that...

None

System specs not as advertised. System was DOA, with constant power cycling after 90-120 sec of uptime

Buyer Beware

 

The laptop itself worked fine minus the mousepad though. The fire hazard alone for the charger is lucky that they did not get sued for a fire.

Cheap ; Cheap ; Affordable

Upon arrival of this laptop, the mousepad stopped working and would only start working again with a restart. Since the mousepad was not working, I decided to try the mouse pointer in the middle of the keyboard. This did not work so well, upon moving it...

False Advertising

 

I have been a customer with newegg for many years and have meny HP laptops. I will be interested in seeing what they do to correct this serious advertisement mistake, first on neweggs part, who were most likely unaware, but more importantly, the...

it works, comes with windows 7 pro, clean, well built, the usual excellent features of an HP 8510w, and all for under $200.00

advertised screen size is 1920 x 1200, I would have been happy with a 1920 x 1080 as listed on the internet reviews, but even after downloading all the video drivers and chipset drivers from HP, and having the computer identify the Nvidia Quadro FX on...
