| Terrific laptop | |
| I love my customized zt3010us notebook. I haven't had ANY issues with the wireless connection (you need to download all the necessary updates on the HP website for this model). I did a lot of research and I definately did very well for myself. I also found a coupon online for 10% off my purchase and I ordered on the HP website, so I saved hundreds of dollars versus buying it locally. My only complaint is the keyboard. The keys feel a little flimsey like they're made of cheap plastic. They probably are but I get the feeling that it will be the first thing to go. I have owned my model for several months without issue. One other thing, when the laptop screen shuts off when you've left it idle, it flickers several times when you move the mouse. It takes 5 seconds of moving the mouse to get it to stop flickering and back to the screen you were on. Otherwise, I love it and am very happy with it. | |
| Really great notebook | |
| It a really great notebook the only reason why i didnt put five stars is because the poor audio it has, i can believe that an amasing notebook like this, has so poor sound. The performace of the centrino tc is really amazing and the battery last up to 5 hours with battery doubler. 4 of 5 | |
 Very nice system lousy software | |
| I just got mine today. I was afraid that I would have trouble with the wireless connection. The trick is to go to HP's website and download the Intel PROset software utility. This will keep the wireless connection up and running correctly. The other trick, if you are using MAC filtering, is to unscrew the little door under the system that is covered by the Windows license key label. This contains the wireless card and has a label with the MAC address on it. So wireless works fine and reliably. Other than that, be sure to get a large case to hold the notebook. It is WIDE compared to other systems (at least the ones I am used to). Addition: I just spent an afternoon trying to convert a VHS tape to DVD. I agree with another reviewer : the software that comes with the machine is really very bad. None of the software allows me to format in DVD-VR format for example. The InterVideo WinDVD creator refused to inport my MPEG file. |
