  "My Renaissance Laptop"

  by Bryanhoop on April 30, 2005

  Pros: Unusual combination of features, stunning screen, full keyboard, fast, slim, respectable speakers, great battery life, large touchpad

  Cons: Power input on right side, no line-out jack (just headphones on the front)

  Summary: This laptop is the dark horse of the HP line. It has since been discontinued since I bought it nearly a year ago, but that doesn't mean it wasn't amazing. Very unusual to find a 15.4 WUXGA display on a laptop of this "thinness". The 64meg ATI Radeon can handle what I throw at it...but this was not meant to be a gaming laptop. Six hour battery life is phenomenal when I'm undocked. The laptop runs very quietly. The downside is the poer input on the right side which affects how far you can move the mouse. The laptop is very fast with the 1.7Ghz Dothan I chose for it. Definately worth getting if you can find a used one for cheap.

  Thank you for submitting your feedback!

  I can tell I still (october 2009) use this laptop model with delight as my main computer for overall browsing and SW development. It effortlessly runs Ubuntu 9.04, pampered with 2Gb RAM and 250GB drive. This is the way to give old Centrino machines a new lease of life. It works beautifully and shows this "dark horse" had built-in factors that keeps it a very usable piece of gear even today.
