Thoughts on HP dv2632tx?

Jastone · 4th February 2008, 11:20 PM

Hey guys,

Probably going to buy the HP Pavillion dv2632tx tomorrow, just curious to see what people think of the price/laptop.

It has a 1.5ghz core 2 duo (the T5 series one), 1gb ram (upgrading to 2 from msy), 8400M GS graphics card, 160gb 5400rpm HD, 14.1" glossy screen with that truelife brightness feature, dvd burner, wireless etc.

It'll cost around $1150 after $100 cashback at Officeworks. It also looks fantastic imo compared to most laptops i had a look at.

Cheers for any thoughts. I think it comes with vista on it also.

Most laptops have a glossy screen now don't they? Nearly every one i looked at had one except the crap $500 ones.

Generally a pretty good laptop and since you're going to upgrade it to 2gb of ram which should make it that bit better.

But it comes down to what you want to use the laptop for?
