3.0 out of 5 stars Compatibility and Audio, November 30, 2008

By	Alejandro Hidalgo - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the price, this computer has a lot, very fast and nice features. The only two poblems with this computer are very anoying, first if you are not used to Vista you'll spend a lot of time trying to find everything compatible with Vista 64-bits, and the second big problem is that there's a problem with the wireless and the audio, you will hear a distorsion every 2 minutes for about 3 or 4 seconds and that sucks.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love this computer, December 10, 2008

By	M. Benson "DianneTodd" (Chicago,IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a college student and I needed a computer with alot of memory,and I found it. I had searched for a long time for a computer with sufficient memory at a decent price and when I noticed this one had 4GB of memory I jumped on it. This computer has all the toys,without the big price tag. I have searched many sites and this computer with all it's features was a great deal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very NIce; but some problems, December 23, 2008

By	J. Hayward (Dothan, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have the HP DV4T-1000. I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit; the LED screen, 12 Cell optional battery and 4 GB of RAM.

Pros:
1. Battery life is excellent. With a full charge I was able to play a movie continuously for a total of 5 hours and 12 minutes. Using the CD drive is a torture test for the battery. This was really good.
2. The key board has a very nice feel.
3. I like the Vista desktop; I think it's clean and an improvement over XP.
4. The LED screen adds to battery life.
5. The price is right!!

Cons:
1. The 12 Cell battery adds weight and significantly protrudes from the underside of the laptop; but on the plus side it elevates the rear of the computer to further uncover cooling ports.
2. Although the unit is advertised as having three USB ports, only two are actually usable. The two that are on the right side are so close you cannot insert two Sandisk Cruzer's next to each other...the Cruzer is rather slim. This was a major disappointment.
3. I truly enjoyed the practicality of the USB drive Briefcase; sync my computer at work and then at home. With Vista 64 bit and XP 32 bit at home, this is impossible. Vista doesn't have Briefcase. But going to Microsoft.com you'll find: synctoy, which does the same thing.
4. The LED screen is far more susceptible to what angle you are viewing it from. Any movement on your part will result in a different contrast.
5. The keyboard on this model is NOT back lit but needs to be as seeing the letters on the keyboard in reduced light is difficult.

In retrospect I should have bought it with Vista Ultimate 32 bit. 64 bit is compatible with most programs, but not all....respected tests have not shown 64 bit to be any faster for most applications.

All in all I really like this machine because of it's battery life due to the LED screen and 12 cell battery; despite it's faults.
