Hp is a horrible companyh [Posted on 2007-03-08] Do not ever buy anything from HP. Yeah, I'd heard that before, but figured it was from really impatient or picky people. Not true. I'm a pretty easy-going person, but I've lost it with HP. To make a VERY LONG story short, my 4 month old laptop was a lemon and they did (to their credit) replace it. However, they "updated" it to Windows Vista instead of XP, and now it is totally useless to me as it doesn't work with my work network. Furthermore, they refuse to send me an XP disk to fix the problem and won't refund my money. So now I have a worthless $1000 piece of junk.
Excelent option [Posted on 2007-03-08] With a very nice price, this notebook represents a very good machine. AMD processor does a very nice job. And with 1GB RAM the programs flows better. It's appearance is amazing, all black solid color. The volume and multimedia buttons are great while using soft touch technology. The only problem is Windows Vista that is extremly slow, compared to the XP edition. Although it impresses on the visual effects.
I like this unit~! [Posted on 2007-03-10] I got mine at a local office supply store (named after a common desk item used to secure pieces of paper together with a small piece of steel wire), for just a bit under six-hundred dollars.
Anyway, it's pretty speedy, even running Vista home premium. There are lots of built-in features, including a media card reader. So far Vista hasn't given me any issues, though it fails to impress. Yes, Vista is more visually appealing, but upon using it for a few days, my impressions were along the lines of "we waited 5 years for this?" I turned off the Aero interface after playing with it for just a couple hours. Yeah, it looks kinda cool, but it provides no useful purpose. I switched it over to the Vista basic interface.
The look of the 6210 is very sleek and 'cool.' The case has a carbon fiber-like design molded into it. I LOVE the screen...absolutely love it. It's very bright and extremely clear; in wide-screen format. The touch pad (mouse) is also in a wide format, which is nice for bigger mitts like mine. Also, built in, are 3 USB ports, a fire wire port, an external monitor port, an S-video port for connecting to a TV, stereo microphones, and a modem (for times of desperation, I suppose. ;-).
The battery life isn't wonderful...a couple hours, max. This doesn't matter much to me, as I use it plugged in most of the time, anyway.
Would I recommend this laptop? Yes. This is especially true if one can find it on sale, as I did.
I like this unit enough that I really don't use my desktop much anymore...if that speaks of anything.
Great machine but needs more RAM to run Vista [Posted on 2007-03-14] Great machine.Works pretty good just out the box. Nice cover finish. But lacks of memory to run Vista in a good way. Im very happen with the performance, but the Windows Vista utility gaves her only 3.0 in the Vista index, main due to the poor graphics performance (I expected the NVIDIA board will be a fast one:O )
I'm upgrading from a cheap HP model buyed two years ago and Im very happy with this, but the price of a model with two cores is not far away, so I recommend to spend a hundred bucks more and get a dual core processor machine. But if you dont have the extra bucks, this machine works pretty fine.
This is great [Posted on 2007-03-23] I really like my laptop.
It has gorgeous wide viwe screen, vista, awesome exterior.
It's good.
