Pros: Very portable, has one-touch programmable keys, light

| chrish495's Full Review: Hewlett Packard HP Pavilion Zt1130 (F3378H) PC Not... |
Hum de dum dum...I thought I sent this review in to Eopinions.com over a year ago probably in March, 2002 when I wrote it, but I didn't clarify something so it says it was written October, 2003. Just thought I'd let you know ;-). Here is the original review:
This computer is okay, but don't install a lot of software on it, it will mess up the performance of the DVDs and make it so that you will have to do a system recovery. HP says that it has a built-in microphone, but it doesn't work. This went down in price the second I bought this. It is a good portable laptop, but as all laptop owners know, it WILL have problems no matter what. Mine was the microphone and that the DVD sound was scratchy. There were a few other issues, but that is all. Compared to other laptops, this is a good one to buy. But if you are a business person that is serious about a good, dependable laptop, you might want to look for other, more advanced options.
Nowadays there are laptops that cost the same price that have 512MB DDR RAM, 60 GB HDD, and a 2.5 Ghz processor if you really look around. The price I paid for this was $1,299, but then -$100 for the rebate. I also purchased a 3 year $219.99 battery service plan on it. This product is discontinued I believe because it has been replaced by a newer series.
