Last week I have the HP DV2-1140 which I received with the Tweakers contest won. This laptop was actually the first of its kind. It's not a netbook, but no full-fledged notebook. With a 1.6 GHz AMD processor and standard Windows Vista Home Premium, it offers definitely more than a netbook. Bouwkwaliteit What struck me was when unpacking the laptop is very light, but still firm to the touch. The laptop is 1.6 kg in weight but one has anyway so using solid materials. Not only the case feels sturdy, even the hinge seems very robust, and does not move too happy light. Smaller weaknesses are not tight-fitting cover plates on the bottom, and the chrome frame that creaks slightly to the front. Speed Well this is a difficult point, it just depends on what you think of course expected. I was expecting a nice laptop that I can use for internet, office applications and a movie here and there. Home on the couch and on the road Occasionally, some photoshop or illustrator in noodval should also. For that matter, I am sure to talk about the speed, he does what he has to do. Windows Vista and 7 run fairly smoothly. With 2GB of memory you have just enough of this OS and well run. Browsers quick opening new tabs open also goes smoothly. Rotating an HD video (720p) on the edge of the laptop. If properly buffered and nothing else running or. Runs 1080 I have not been tested, however, that too little added value when you see it on the screen of 1280x768. Of course you can also use your HDMI laptop to a TV hanging, and he supported at least put the 1920x1080 resolution. A disadvantage is that, because it is not a dual core is likely longer, the processor occasionally has trouble with multiple processes at the same . Then he freezed just a second or two, then just move on. Display The display has a resolution of 1280x768 and features a glossy finish and LED backlight. The quality is definitely better than the average budget notebook, but you should not expect top screen. The backlight is not equally strong, but can not be perceived as a nuisance in normal use. The colors are nice and clear because of the glossy finish, but also very reflective sensitive so. Features & Software Besides the things already mentioned, such as an HDMI connection, HD video card, and Vista Home Premium, there are of course more features to mention what it own laptop. example, an external DVD-RW drive in this model included, which was fully implemented. same (glossy black) style They have the size of the laptop can hold small but you still have a drive for the necessary software you want to install. About that software, by default, the laptop comes packed with all kinds of software from HP. I immediately started to uninstall, especially the HP Office trial and Norton Antivirus. Allows you coming back for more, because these two programs are very slow when removed. Furthermore, there are all kinds of HP media software, which I do not actually use. With this in mind, I have decided not to stop removing this software and immediately do. A clean install Here I chose the Windows 7 beta, which quickly and properly installed. Actually, almost everything works right, only the drivers for the HP ProtectSmart hard drive must be manually installed yet. Conclusion Of course it is always only personally, but I am very pleased with this little laptop. In addition, of course, plays a role that won him myself and it cost me nothing so. Would I buy the laptop? Yes, and no. Yeah now if you need anything in its class and size. So more than a netbook but not a big notebook. No. If you have to be patient, because HP has announced new models that I think they are a little better. Especially in terms of housing if you do not like fingerprints.
