Hewlett Packard OmniBook 4150 (F1662WG) PC Notebook

Pros: Nice keyboard, Nice screen
Cons: Keypad touchy

This is a very good laptop. Very durable. I have dropped it a couple of times, and still works. The 15" TFT screen is really bright and clear. I received a lot of comments just on the screen at work. It has 1 USB port and I use it all the time for...

Pros: Decent workhorse. Solid performance. Nice Keyboard.
Cons: Nothing special. Poor sound.

[ HISTORY ]
I've used this computer for about a year for work. It is the corporate standard and is decent in that role. I have no problems with the computer and have used it instead of the OmniBook 900 -- which I was originally given. I wanted the...

Pros: Good overall laptop, great DVD-ROM player
Cons: Not reliable enough to be a candidate for business use

I received a Hewlett-Packard OmniBook 4150B from my company a few months ago. Several hiccups and two major catastrophes later, I'm not sure how useful this machine is as a business tool. (For reference, my particular PC has a P3-500 processor, 128 MB...

Pros: Excellent display; nice keyboard
Cons: NT support; driver support; durability

I've had a OmniBook 4150 with 192 MB of memory for the past eight months and I must say that it's been an endless string of inconveniences. I suspect that the majority of these problems all revolve around my using WindowsNT, rather than Windows 95/98,...

Pros: Fast, lots of storage good price
Cons: no modem or nic. Floppy and DVD can't be used simutaneously

I found this product refurbished at ubid.com for $1700. The cheapest I could find one new was $3800. The specs are PII 650, 128 MB Ram, 18 GB Hard Drive, 14.1 TFT display and DVD. I was disappointed that a laptop of this size has no modem or nic. But I...

Pros: Size of screen, keyboard
Cons: Weight

I bought a refurbished HP Omnibook 4100 from Onsale about 4 months ago. Great specs at a great price -- 14.1" TFT, Pentium 266, 32MB RAM for about $1,400. The notebook itself is a little heavy, about 6 pounds, but because I do a lot of...

Pros: Screen
Cons: None

I have used this product for over 18 months. The company I work for thought so much of this product that they purchased close to 400 of them for entire field organization. The best thing about the product is the screen. It has a 14.1" active matrix...

Pros: Bright, great performance
Cons: A little expensive

I am typing this opinion on it. The screen is large and bright. Usually I would expect a notebook with a 14.1" LCD screen to be on the heavy side, but this machine weight is almost perfect. The keyboard is a little soft, but OK for a notebook...

Pros: Adequate performance, big screen
Cons: Heavy, low battery life

I got my HP omnibook 4100 from someone for $1700. I have been extremely pleased with it. The 14.1 screen is even larger than what some standard desktops offer. Yes it makes the notebook big and heavy, but I am a student and this notebook is not bigger...

Pros: 14.1" TFT Screen, Lightweight, Slim
Cons: DVD is optional and expensive on this model

I purchased my Omnibook due to a recommendation from Windows NT Magazine. I have been running my 4150 with 128 MB of memory and Xircom 10/100 Ethernet adapter with no problems. I need Windows NT for network management as Windows 9x falls short for...

Pros: Thin, lightweight, all-in-one
Cons: Not as light as Omnibook 900

Hi,
Scuse me for interrupting, but I notice that epinions placed the 4150 under the "ultrathin" form factor, and the 900 under "regular". To me that's bass ackwards, as the 4150 comes fully decked out with DVD and floppy, 8 Meg...
