Sbuy Mobile Workation 8540W Core I7-520CPU 2.66GHZ/320GB 7200RPM HDD/ 2X2GB Ram/ Review
Now, this is my first amazon review, but thought you might all enjoy to learn what a great value this computer is.
So now I have had this computer since May 17th 2010 and here are my thoughts.
With windows xp preinstalled, it is great, but I wanted to use windows 7, so to do that you have to shut the computer off and boot from one of the disks that comes in the box along with the laptop, very easy. Now the install of windows 7 took about an hour and 11 minutes. After that though, the second disk that comes with the box, you HAVE TO HAVE, otherwise none of the drivers will install and you will have trouble using the computer. So just pop in that second disk, and it has all the driver software, and useful hp protecttools manager on it. I highly recommend installing all of the software off of the discs except for hp skyroom. But what the hp protecttools is good for is using the integrated smart card reader or finger printer scanner to log onto windows. This is great. I will say however, the metal around the finger print reader does show usage, but it just wipes off.
Now the computer itself is very solid, bottom made out of plastic. Top out of metal. The screen is very great. On other sites that have complaints about viewing angles, I can say I have had no issues with this 1600x900 screen. And from any angle the colors are bright and clear. Now the webcam is great also. Now many may not know, but this computer runs games great. At 1280x800 I got 25 FPS on high graphics on Crysis. On games such as Flatout or X-Men origins: wolverine. I got well beyound 40 FPS on ultra high. And this is all while the computer is not hot comparatively to other Alienware gaming laptops.
I have to say my favorite features on this laptop are the multi-gesture touch pad, and the little led light on the screen for using the keyboard in darker enviroments. I have been using this computer as my school laptop and you would be amazed at how light it is. Now in comparison to an HP Pavillion G62, This computer kicks.
Overall I love this laptop and highly recommend it.
