Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Designed to maximize performance while minimizing expense, the HP Pavilion ze4210 Notebook PC is a solid entry-level notebook that's ready to efficiently handle most typical light- to medium-duty portable computing tasks. If price is your most critical parameter and you can do without the latest high-end amenities, the HP Pavilion ze4210 should warrant serious consideration.
Running at 1.6 GHz, the unit's Intel Pentium Celeron CPU is the heart of a cost-efficient processing engine that also includes an acceptable 256 DDR SDRAM (expandable to 1024 MB) and an ATI Mobility Radeon graphics controller with 64 MB shared (not dedicated) video memory. You definitely won't want to rely on this system for 3-D gaming, graphics design or heavy-duty business applications, but it will suffice nicely for basic duties such as contact management, word processing, email communications, spreadsheets and the like.
The Pavilion ze4210 features an smallish 20 GB hard disk on which to store your programs and files, and a DVD drive through which you can play audio CDs and watch the latest movies. CD and DVD burning are not supported in this stock configuration. The unit's 15-inch XGA TFT display will convey crisp, clean images to a maximum 1024x768 resolution, and its 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chipset and integrated Altec-Lansing speakers deliver satisfying mobile sound.
Controlling the Pavilion ze4210 is a snap. The unit features a full-size 88-key keyboard with embedded numeric keypad, a Touch Pad with on/off button, and a dedicated vertical scroll up/down pad. Other amenities include two USB 1.1 ports for plug and play peripherals, a parallel port, serial port, VGA and TV outs, a 56K modem for low-speed e-communication, and integrated 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN for fast networking. The system does not offer wireless communication or high-speed USB 2.0 or FireWire connections.
HP has fitted the Pavilion ze4210 with an 8-cell Lithium-Ion battery. Pre-installed software includes Windows XP Home Edition, Corel Productivity Pack (WordPerfect 10, Quattro Pro 10), Intuit Quicken New Users Edition 2002, and an assorent of multimedia utilities.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Nice screen but can shutdown unexpectedly,
By A Customer
This review is from: HP Pavilion ze4210 Laptop (1.60 GHz Celeron, 256MB RAM, 20GB hard drive) (Personal Computers)
I bought one of these laptops and was initially pleased with the performance, great LCD screen, and nice touches like the DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo drive. But I soon started having problems with the laptop when running programs like Photoshop or McAfee VirusScan -- the system would shutdown suddenly with no warning. At first, I thought it might be a Windows XP issue or a virus like MS Blaster. After trying many things out, I concluded that there was no virus on my laptop, and that XP probably wasn't the issue. I then tried to wipe the harddisk and restore the software to original factory state. I discovered that the laptop would also shutdown unexpected in the middle of restoring the system software to original factory state using the HP restore CDs. At that point, I called HP support to report a hardware problem and get warranty support. To make a long story short, HP phone support confirmed that I had some sort of hardware problem (most likely a bad motherboard or overheating issue) but they would not let me ship them my laptop for warranty repair because they could not confirm the date of purchase, despite the fact that I provided them copies of my receipts several times! I wound up taking the unit to a authorized HP service center - CompUSA - and they were able to get the unit fixed. BOTTOM LINE: I would not buy a HP laptop again.
