4.0 out of 5 stars A VERY GOOD LITTLE NOTEBOOK FOR THE PRICE
I bought this computer with the understanding that any computer I purchase will be old technology within one year. Purchasing this HP ZE5730US, I received a computer that had decent memory, the latest Windows operating system, DVD & CD-RW capabilities, and wireless technology capability. (...). How can you go wrong. After a year or two, I'll buy another <$1000 deal...

1.0 out of 5 stars Average Product but SHOCKINGLY poor support!
The keyboard is a bit flimsy and so is the display. Tech support is less than average with their knowledge level but the customer support is simply the most unprofessional I have ever come across! I don't think it is isolated since out of more than 15 people (including supervisors and case managers) I spoke with, about 5 at best, knew how to provide basic customer...

This review is from: HP Pavilion ze5730us Laptop (2.8 GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Combo) (Personal Computers)
I bought this computer with the understanding that any computer I purchase will be old technology within one year. Purchasing this HP ZE5730US, I received a computer that had decent memory, the latest Windows operating system, DVD & CD-RW capabilities, and wireless technology capability. (...). How can you go wrong. After a year or two, I'll buy another <$1000 deal and get even more technology than the guy who bought the expensive version when I bought this one, and still I'll have spent less than him! This computer serves me well, I'm happy to not be tied to a desktop anymore!

4.0 out of 5 stars Still going strong 5 years later, June 10, 2008
This review is from: HP Pavilion ze5730us Laptop (2.8 GHz Celeron, 256 MB RAM, 40 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD-RW Combo) (Personal Computers)
I've now been using this laptop for approx 3 to 5 hours a day for 5 years and it still runs ten times faster than my much more recent desktop at work.

I am keeping my eyes open for a new laptop because I know the technology and software will make this one completely obsolete soon.

I use it for gaming and internet use mostly. It is very good for video playback. My only reason for not giving it five stars is because it has a faulty ac power connection that sometimes comes loose, and I wish the audio was better.

It doesn't have half the features of the current laptop lineup but for the past five years it has been a powerhouse.

So, if you have to send anything in for service, unless it is very straight-forward, add several hours of your wasted time while calculating the total cost of the product.
