This laptop is a great buy. Very affordable and very updated. It has the second gen i5 processor and a usb 3.0 port. For the price of this laptop you are definitely getting your moneys worth. This laptop is also very thin and lightweight with a nice screen.Pros: 2nd Gen i5 Processor. USB 3.0 Port, 640GB Hard Drive, Big and nice screen.
Cons: No Blu-Ray Drive.
PROS: What does one expect for this $500 price? It is a great value. The processor in load adjusting meaning it went to at least 2.9 GHz from 2.3 when I was backing up the OEM software OS.
You get an I-5 processor with 6 GB ram 640 GB slow HD and it uses the Intel Video chip on the I5. The 8 cell 7 1/2 hour (as per tests on the net) this will hold you though most airplane flights unless you get delayed. Ample storage for movies.
I am not a big Laptop user as I love my dual screen I7 work station which I use for processing our Wedding Picture Business. I needed a mobile unit that could help show our work that didn't break the bank. I installed LR 3 with Office 2010. I don't like the SD flash memory card reader as my Canon uses CF cards and I haven't seen a LT that has a CF card reader. Did I mention a USB 3.0 port? I couple this with the Blackberry Playbook for $200+ taxes and we get a great picture viewer and book reader for my wife.
I always bought AMD until I started to get baked by the heat coming off our computers. The I5 most likely is a 32 nM chip using only a little power in standby mode. My I7 work station has an apt that shows in standby it uses 3-7 Watts. To me that means the I5 or I7 are green machines. I will for go the warrenty upgrade or we would have bought a similar HP for the extra $100 from costco.
I don't know if there is room for a second HD. The addition of a SSD would help performance if required.
