"Very good except for details..." on
Pros: I've used 2 Compaq (older Armada) and 2 Dell (Latitude C600 and D600) over the last 8 years and now this HP nc8000 (PL562UA). Lots of things to like... * Great deal and overall specs. * Outstanding screen and graphic speed. * Best sound I've heard in a la
Cons: Some things needed a bit more work... * The design is a bit bulky but the placement of things is good. You eventually get used to the looks ;-) * As you pick up the laptop, the DVD cover panel (plastic) moves and feels much less solid than the rest of the

"Feels like a desktop! With less CRT heft! Yay!" on by kaneda_shima
Pros: I bought this used after a bit of research, including cnet.com. HP often makes a solid desktop and this laptop is no different. The config: 1.7 P-M, 1G RAM/128M ATI Fire GL T2, and combo drive makes this a rich platform for content creation.
Cons: I have been told Vista doesn't play well w/ this machine, and the lack of a 64-bit cpu + separate gpu config is kind of stressful, but since the Pentium-M can be upgraded, along with the hard drive and RAM, shouldn't be obsolete for awhile.
Summary: All in all, this mobile workstation lives up to its name. I am going to enjoy the breathing room the ati gpu is giving me, seeing as my Macbook friends and Qosmio buddies hate their graphics performance. Even four years after it's release, current software and games are tackled by this linebacker of a moblie. The thing is, I want a dual-core laptop, but the integrated graphics 'solution' scares me. I don't want my gpu choking out on me during a presentation using 3-D or video, sound or vector. I need the portable to be able to withstand, structurally speaking, a trip through Gran Prix rush hour traffic. I also want it to be dependable in its software and hardware construction, quiet in meetings and in classes and able to keep a respectable battery charge. Get one today!

"A powerful machine that still remains working strong after 4 years." on by megzdaqtst
Pros: A 2003 model that competes with even the latest models from 2007
Cons: A little heavier than some of the newer notebooks
Summary: I've had this computer since it first came out (2003), and although it was a little bit pricey when I first bought it ($2800 with taxes), I have to admit that it was well worth it. I haven't had any problems with it since I bought it - - no glitches and no defects despite the fact that it was one of the first to come with built-in wireless capabilities. (First generation machines.) I fell in love with this notebook when I first saw it, was very impressed with its features when I first bought it, and 4 years later, am continually being impressed with its performance. The computer admittedly has more weight than the newer, slimmer notebooks, but the difference is negligible. I'll definitely stick with HP/Compaq for my next computer: I know their products will be worth the price.

"A Little Disappointed" on
Pros: Great laptop and performance. Nice and Quiet. Large screen. Truly a desktop replacement. Great Warranty. I would recommend it still despite it's shortcomings.
Cons: Big and bulky. Cheap plastic on back of lcd. In my opinion this laptop falls short of what I would typically expect in terms of durability fromt the compaq line. And it's not as thin as I expected. As a desktop replacement it's great...but I could not
