HP DV3-2055EA


The PC maker has long been a favorite of laptop users due to their full line of products that caters to many products that are for people from all walks of life. The specific model has a full keyboardwith a 13.3 inch chassis that sports the standard layout, but they tend to rattle a bit, reminiscent of tactile keyboards. They have the always present track pad and two keys that offers a very nice option and finished with a mirror-like tone it is a nifty pad to use indeed. The tiny button is still there to allow easy turn-off of the Synaptics keypad letting you turn it off when using an external mouse.Based on Intel’s dual core processor family, it did remain cool with the area where the power supply was located turning a bit toasty even after the battery of tests with the fan sending that familiar swoosh of air. The display being LED back lighted is quite constant with bright and vibrant images and it can still play HD movies with ease though the display screen is still quite small for a comfortable viewing. There have been some noted issues with the display drivers from HP which had the display appearing gaudy but some people who have reviewed it say tinkering with the driver seems to remedy the issue.On the hardware site, it is a 64-bit laptop with the 2Gz Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 processor, that is maximized using a 64-bit OS can use the full complement of 4Gb’s of ram. With a 500Gb hard drive it is already large but a need for more storage space is answered by an ultra-fast eSATA port allows quick connection of external storage devices fast and painless. It also sports the nifty LightScribe optical drive that makes CD creation and labelling a joy. Overall, it is a very good product yet on the gamer’s side it may be a bit dismal but it is marketed as a multimedia laptop so it suits it well with a price to match.
