4 out of 5 stars Great widescreen HP for short money.......2006-06-25

I bought this HP Pavilion ZV5410US about twenty-two months ago. No hardware problems. I play a few DVD's on it weekly. I've used some demanding video editing, photo editing, CAD programs, drawing programs, games... you get the picture; it doesn't choke on anything. I paid $950 for it at Staples on sale. Very happy with it.

I use a Sprint AirCard 580 WAN which lets me surf the web anywhere! At DSL speeds of 500 to 1000 Kbps! The battery life suffers, though, while using the PC WAN card. The Athlon 64 is a powerful CPU which needs, guess what? a lot of power! This machine is best suited for desktop replacement. Otherwise, bring the brick along with you and sit near an outlet at Star*bucks or the library. You need long battery life? - spend twice as much for a So*ny. One can, however, buy a high capacity battery for this laptop. Better to invest in adapter cables to use on airplanes and cars.

The hard drive is a Serial ATA 60 GB unit which has scored well in a hard drive tuneup program I ran on it. The screen is bright. The sound system is excellent for a laptop, but I usually use earphones to listen to my several gigabytes of songs in iTunes. Few speaker systems under a $1000 do justice to most recordings, but many earphones sound super.

In the time I have had this HP Pavilion ZV5410US I have had zero hardware problems with it. As with any Win*dows computer, you have to keep your startup list of programs short, keep your hard drive defragmented, run a good registry tuneup program such as Regis*try Mech*anic (which found over 950 registry errors the first time I ran it! and that was after having to reload the operating system after Win*dows refused to boot - no problems since then because I run it weekly now). If you hear any complaints about this machine, you are probably listening to someone who, like Pogo of comic strip fame, could say, "We have met the enemy, and he is us!" One has to understand that Win*dows is the buggiest major microcomputer operating system in existence. Don't blame the hardware.

HP has an excellent website where you can download updates to the BIOS or the video card. HP computers come loaded with an excellent help system. When I was a professional business computer programmer/analyst on HP's 3000 series minicomputers in another life, we had a saying: HP stood for 'High Priced' - not any more! This series using the Athlon 64 CPU and the wide screen display is, as the French say: bon marche, cheap in price. But high in value. Frankly, I don't know how they make a machine this good and still manage to sell it as such a reasonable price. You don't need to pay $1500 or $2000 for a dependable laptop that has enough processing power for anyone but a hardcore gamer or a nuclear weapons designer.

5 out of 5 stars Gotta buy this one!.......2005-11-17

I purchased this computer almost a year ago from Circuit City. I bought it on special for $980! I think it's the best laptop for the money. This is my third laptop and by far the best. It's fast, bright and quite. Everything you can want in a mobile laptop. What sold me was the speakers. Harman/ Kardon are the BOSE system for the common laptop. Wait til you hear one of your MP3's on the system...it ROCKS! The base, the treble, the surround sound. Go to Best Buy and take a listen. ;0)
The only things I would change are:

1. Volume controls are small and on the lip of the laptop. They should be higher and easily accessible.

2. Add more memory. 512 MB is good, but more is always better. Another 512 MB stick should do the trick.

3. I don't recommend it for people that frequently travel, because this computer's screen is a bit to wide, unless the seat next to you is empty. :) Remember you have to buy the larger carrying case, the one that fits a 15'4 inch laptop. It will cost you a little more, but worth the price for this steal of a computer.

Yours Truly,

Moses W.

5 out of 5 stars Pavilion zv5410.......2005-05-13

I just picked up the last model of this (actually the display model) from my local staples for $989 + the extended warrenty and this has got to be one of the best notebooks I've purchased.
The widescreen adds alot more viewage than you'd expect and is very nice to have for the money. The fans are ultra-quiet, a huge thing coming from a user of the super-loud ze4200 series of pavilions. The processor is outstanding, and is 64-bit instead of the intel 32-bit, which is ALOT nicer for more heavy-duty appliactions.

For the money, this is probably the best you can get. Some upgrades that you might look into:
-DVD Burner. Burn gigabytes instead of megabytes.
-1024 MB RAM. RAM is fairly cheap, and easily accessable. All you'd need is 2 sticks of 512 RAM that are compatible with this notebook and thats a sweet upgrade.
-80-120+ GB hard drive. 60 GB is more than enough for the average user. However, if you download movies, music, or if you dual-boot with more than one operating system (linux, other versions of windows, bsd..) Even external USB drives, although dual booting OS's on them is probably not the route to go, you can get a fairly cheap and pocketsized 80 GB harddrive now a days.

However, this notebook is outstanding standalone. Another plus is for Linux users, the graphics chipset is nvidia, so you get direct rendering kernel modules from nvidia themself.

5 out of 5 stars Great Purchase .......2005-04-05

Excellent upgrade from a 98 desktop. Everything I could ever want in a multi task computer, including all of the preinstalled software. I am very happy with this choice.

5 out of 5 stars Is a great laptop.......2005-03-07

Is a great laptop, excellent size, clear sound, great performance, I'm very happy with this buy. Things that I might add: Less heavy.

3 out of 5 stars I should have smelled gimmick.......2005-02-22

The case is a little confusing, and comes with no instructions. The quality is as can be expected from earbuds at this price. Their FRAGILE though. Both sides have broken (though they're easily fidgeted back into place). I never really cared about the interchangeable caps. I wouldn't recommned these unless you ARE interested in the caps (for whatever reason)

4 out of 5 stars A Step Up from the iPod Earphones.......2005-01-28

I recently got these earphones to replace my broken iPod ones, and I can hear a noticable difference in the quality. They're not much different in shape or comfort IMO. The sound seemed a little tinny at high points in some songs, but the Treble Reducer EQ on the iPod pretty much fixed that for me. I like the case, and the caps are sorta neat I guess, although they're not really essential. Overall, I think they're a good replacement.

It's called the Sharp TelMail E-Mail Organizer.

                    Send and receive e-mail using an ordinary telephone and the Sharp TM-20 mobile e-mail device with its built-in acoustic modem. Just pull the TM-20 from your pocket, place it against a telephone handset, and press one button to get your messages. No additional computer or Internet service is necessary.

                    The Sharp TM-20 is a stand-alone portable e-mail editor designed for travelers or anyone lacking a portable PC or access to the Internet. Setup consists of inserting the batteries and setting the clock. You must also sign up for the PocketMail e-mail service by calling a toll-free number or filling out a form on the Internet. The payment plan (either monthly or annual) permits you to receive unlimited text-only messages that are each no more than 4,000 characters long.

                    The menu prompts are not entirely intuitive, but by following the Quick Start instruction sheet, we set up the unit and the PocketMail account and sent our first e-mail message in about 30 minutes. The TM-20's complete alphanumeric keyboard and buttons are small, making touch-typing impractical, but our short test messages were easy enough to compose.

                    To send and receive messages, you open the acoustic modem "earpiece" mounted on the bottom of the unit, dial PocketMail's toll-free number, listen for a prompt, press the TM-20 against the telephone handset, and push one button. Reassuring LEDs let you know that the sending and receiving processes are taking place. We successfully sent and received several messages through different ISPs and desktop e-mail programs. We also sent an HTML e-mail message to the TM-20; the PocketMail system stripped out the HTML code but preserved the message itself.

                    The organizer functions are primitive, useful mainly for tracking names, addresses, and appointments. You can make backups of your TM-20's organizer and e-mail messages by connecting it via the included serial cable to a desktop PC. In our test, the backup program took a surprisingly long 15 minutes.

                    If you need little more than an alarm clock with your e-mail on the go, then the inexpensive Sharp TM-20 may be just for you.

                    5 out of 5 stars This device is awesome........2000-08-19

                    It is so easy to use and you can use it anywhere. The address book and calendar functions are just as good as the organizer features offered by the Palm and Visor, but this is much cheaper and you can do email on it too.

                    4 out of 5 stars PocketMail Points.......2000-08-14

                    Have been a PocketMail owner for 4 months and it is a great portable E-mail device as well as an electronic organizer. The only limitations are lack of a built in calculator and adaptability to send and receive messages via cell phones(digital)!

                    5 out of 5 stars TM 20 good in the Yukon too.......2000-08-12

                    Used the Sharp TM 20 on a recent 9500 mile trip to Alaska, travelling thru British Columbia, Yukon Territory, Alaska, Alberta,Canada, Montana, Idaho, Nevada and home and the only time I ever had a problem was on an occasional payphone, once in Edmonton, Alberta and another time in Skagway, Alaska. Works on any phone other than digital cell, public phones are a breeze, pick up the receiver, dial an 800 number and send/receive at the same time. Not even a coin needed. Didn't have to call home one time in a two and one half month trip- pocketmail did it all!!

                    5 out of 5 stars More than just email.......2000-08-08

                    You can do more than just send and receive email. You can get the weather forecast for your area or any area in the world, check on flight information and even get point to point driving directions. If you can ignore the clunkiness of dialing in to send your request and then dialing in a few minutes later to get your information, there is no better option, or you can have the information sent to an alpha pager if you have one. A laptop usually needs a "jack" and an internet account with a local access number, but this unit will work from any phone, except digital cellular, and the call is a toll free 800 number. It's worth the monthly charge just to be able to get concise driving directions from one address to another - across town or across the county.

                    MY HUSBAND, THE TRUCK DRIVER, CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT THIS EMAILER DEVICE. HE IS ADDICTED TO IT AND POUTS WHEN HE DOES NOT GET AN EMAIL FROM ME. THE SERVICE FROM POCKETMAIL COMES AT A REASONABLE PRICE AND SAVES US AT LEAST $20.OO A MONTH IN PHONE CALLS. WE STAY IN CONTACT AND IT HELPS HIM TO STAY CLOSE EVEN WHEN HE IS AWAY FROM HOME. HE IS, HOWEVER, CONSTANTLY BOMBARDED WITH QUESTIONS AND CURIOSITY FROM OTHER DRIVERS WHO HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS DEVICE. IT IS SO SUCCESSFUL, I BOUGHT A SECOND ONE FOR MY DAUGHTER WHO LIVES IN ARIZONA. A MUST HAVE IF YOU ARE A TRAVELER WHO NEEDS TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH HOME.
