Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
HP has designed its Pavilion ze4560us Notebook PC for users who require satisfactory performance and wireless connectivity at a seriously budget-conscious price point. It may not break any speed records or smoothly display cutting-edge 3-D games, but the Pavilion ze4560us should suffice quite nicely for most typical mobile business and leisure applications.
At 12.96 by 10.72 by 1.62 inches and 7.25 pounds, the unit is of average size. Inside, HP has installed a mid-level yet cost-effective 1.87 GHz AMD Athlon XP-M 2500+ processor with battery-conserving PowerNow Technology, a generous 512 MB of DDR SDRAM memory (expandable to 1024 MB), and an ATI Mobility Radeon graphics chipset with 64 MB of shared (not dedicated) memory.
The system features an adequate 40 GB hard disk for file and program storage and a convenient DVD/CD-RW combo drive for listening to and burning music CDs, archiving data and playing the latest movies. DVD writing is not offered in this stock configuration. The system's crisp 15-inch XGA TFT display supports images of 1024x768 resolution, and its 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio chipset and integrated Altec Lansing-designed speakers deliver accurate, full-bodied sound.
Controlling the Pavilion ze4560us is a snap. The unit features a full-size 88-key keyboard with Touch Pad dedicated vertical scroll up/down pad. Other amenities include two traditional USB 1.1 ports for plug and play peripherals (high-speed USB 2.0 ports are not included), an IEEE 1394 FireWire port for fast interaction with external devices such as digital camcorders, and an S-Video TV-out. Communication facilities are very solid, ranging from an integrated 802.11b wireless LAN interface to an RJ-45 Ethernet connection and 56K modem.
Bundled software includes Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Corel Productivity Pack including WordPerfect 10 and Quattro Pro 10, Quicken New User Edition, and a bevy of media and Internet-based utilities.

Best for the money,

This review is from: HP Pavilion ze4560us Laptop (1.87-GHz Athlon XP-M 2500+, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive) (Personal Computers)
4 friends bought notebooks at the same time Dell, Sony, (2)Toshibas all of theirs had P4 chips, and this HP simply outclasses them- 3 my friends admitit! And they paid $500-$900 more! Their notebooks weigh a full pound more, they are thicker, and the P4's are much louder requiring a loud cooling fan. The S video, Firewire, serial ports are awesome features. Made several videos already with the firewire. Screen resolution is beautiful! Graphics card is good- handles computer games well.

Good laptop for the money,
By A Customer
This review is from: HP Pavilion ze4560us Laptop (1.87-GHz Athlon XP-M 2500+, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive) (Personal Computers)
I bought this laptop about 3 months ago, and I've been pretty happy with it. The only problem I've had in 3 months is some minor skipping on the DVD/CD drive (good thing it's still under warranty...) I chose to buy a laptop with an AMD processor because I've been extremely impressed with AMD processors I've bought for my desktops in the past. If I had it to do again, however, I might choose to buy a P4 because the Athalon still tends to run a little hot, although I haven't had a problem with it running _too_ hot.This laptop is fine for watching DVD's, and I've been able to do all of my work on it (including some image-analysis work), but it's not a good machine for gaming because the 64 MB video memory is shared memory. If you're looking for a laptop to use for gaming in your spare time, this isn't the one. The wireless technology has been absolutely terrific, and it has consistently maintained a better connection with my router than my stationary desktop. The hp ze4560 laptop is a bit on the bulky side, but I personally don't mind the extra weight because I love the screen size and the price.

Good system; somewhat dated,

This review is from: HP Pavilion ze4560us Laptop (1.87-GHz Athlon XP-M 2500+, 512 MB RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive) (Personal Computers)
I've had my system about 3 years with few complaints. By today's standard's its probably underpowered. I was able to get another system with far more features for less than I paid for this one.
The one problem it has now is the connector for the a/c power. I use it as a regular system, always plugged in, rarely using the battery. Recently, it's started cycling whether it thinks the a/c cord is plugged in (so it goes on battery, dims the screen, and runs the batter down - even when plugged in). Wigging the cord generally helps. I got this diagnosed as a problem with a pin on the mother board being loose and needing resoldering. This isn't cheap to fix. I like the system, but this may eventually make it unsuable...
