| kcowan's Full Review: Hewlett Packard Compaq Presario 1525US (470046-473... |
I had a need for a high function laptop last summer. I bought this laptop at auction in Aug/03 for $1100. It was loaded with XP Home, 40 GB and 512MB RAM. It serves as my main business and personal machine. I run it on a wireless network with a tower that has 60GB and store lots of data there to avoid carrying it when I don't need it.
The CD burner is great along with all the XP burner functions. The DVD will not run properly for movies without being on full power. This is becoming less of a problem as airlines become equipped with plugins at the seat. But it was a major disappointment.
I had an HD actuator fail and HP restored it at their mail-in center no problem. I was without the machine for 10 days but most of that (5 days) was the courier!
