Published by OnlyBestLaptops, on Aug 05 2010, in the categories: Useful Info

HP is the leading producer of  personal computers in the world and also among the best producers of notebooks, so when buying a product from this company, you can definitely trust the brand. Its models of notebooks have different configurations, with different types of processors. For today we’ll discuss about one of the best used HP laptops ¸the HP Pavilion DV 9830 US 17 ” Laptop (1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T 555), Model: DV 9830 US. It is quite a good laptop, not very powerful but not weak at all either.

It can be a good choice for working activities, but also a good one for multimedia performance. Its display screen is a 17 inch WXGA + high-definition  Bright View widescreen display (1440 x 900), which can be quite good for multitasking activities, for video games or for High Definition movies. Thanks to the very good optical drive you can read and write CD-s and DVD-s, you can use the double layer features, and you can also benefit from the Blu-ray technology. It comes with a built in webcam allowing you to video chat on the internet with friends and family. Its processor is an  Intel Core 2 Duo T550 processor, with a speed of 1.83 Ghz and fast 667 MHz front-side bus (FSB), and 2 MB L2 cache.  So it may not be the best one on the market right now, but it is still a good one and can handle most of the computer activities. The RAM memory offers 4 GB  (PC 5300, 2 x 2 GB) while the hard drive has 320 GB ( 7200 rpm). So these feauters are ok too, and they can be quite enough for most of the simple computer users. (who are not interested in really advanced tasks). The video card is a Nvidia GeForce 8600 M GS video/graphics card with up to 2303 MB of total allocated video memory and the model also has a medi card reader.




And of course it also has a Gigabit  Ethernet connectivity and a wireless connectivity for easier access to the internet (Wi-Fi LAN – 802.11 a / b/ g / n). It doesn’t come quite with the latest operating system from Microsoft and it has a Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1. but this feature usually depends on the place where you get the laptop from. Anyway most of the stores offer an installed operating system, so you can use your notebook just right after you bought it. It has a full size 101 keys keyboard, and also a touchpad device (with an on and off button and dedicated vertical and horizontal Scroll up / down pad). The overall dimensions for this laptop are quite big, and this is of course because of the large display screen: 15.16 x 11.22 x 1.65 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 7.7 pounds. It uses a 8 cell Lithium Ion battery which can last for up to 2.5 hours. The ports that can be found on this laptop are:

Expansion Ports: 1 – Express Card Slot/ 54 or 34
PS/2 Keyboard Connectors: N/A
PS/2 Mouse Connectors: N/A
Serial Communication Ports: N/A
Parallel Ports: N/A
USB Ports: 4




FireWire Ports: 1
Fast Infrared Ports (FIR): 1 – Consumer IR
LAN Ports: 1

Audio Out Jacks: 2
Line In Jacks: N/A
Microphone Jacks: 1
VGA Ports: 1
S-Video Connectors: 1 – TV Out
DVI Video: N/A
Port Replicator/Connector: 1

So as you can notice from the technical details this model is an older one from HP, and today it had been probably replaced with other ones that are much better. But you can still find it as a refurbished or used laptop, and it can be quite a good choice, for a good price. Enjoy it!

Cheapest And Best Laptops

Published by OnlyBestLaptops, on Aug 05 2010, in the categories: Useful Info

The computers had known  a very big development during the last years. Not only that they got more and more advanced and with state of the art technologies included, but they also become smaller, thinner and lighter. And we are talking here about the laptops. They can do all the things that a desktop computer does, but they are also much smaller and lighter so they are really portable. So you can use the laptop anywhere you want, no matter if you are traveling with a train or a plane, or you are at a picnic or on top of a mountain. You won’t  need any AC adapter, because all laptops have an included battery, that can last for several hours. So  it is no wonder that more and more people are buying a laptop instead of buying a new desktop computer. And in a few years there will probably be more notebooks than PC-s.

There are many companies that are offering good laptops and here are some examples: Sony, Dell, Toshiba, Hewlett Packard, Asus, Acer, Fujitsu, MSI, Apple and others. Each company is offering many models of laptops, in all sort of colors and with all kinds of features and characteristics. When you decide to buy a laptop you can check out the offer of each company, and search  for the one that is the best for you and for your needs. The notebooks are usually more expensive than the desktop computers. So if you really want to have a laptop but you don’t have enough money, the cheapest laptop that you can find would be an used notebook computer. You will find so many of them in so many places. For example you can search on auction sites such as ebay.com or amazon.com. You will find many laptops here, offered by people all over the world. You can buy the desired product, and you will receive it by mail. But if you don’t trust the internet transactions, and you don’t want to be tricked and to receive something else  instead of a laptop, then you can go into some local retail stores close to you. Or you can search in the newspapers, and meet personal with the people that are selling the laptop.




So now let’s take a random used notebook computer that is for sell on ebay.com, and discuss more about it. We’ll take for example the used ASUS P 4 2.8 Ghz, 512 RAM 120 HD. And as you can see on the site, the current bid price is just 35 dollars. So you might wonder how come this laptop is so cheap, because a new laptop usually costs more than 500 dollars, and some cost even 1.000 dollars. Well there is a little problem with this laptop. As the user says in the description, the notebook has minor scratches on the cover  and also a scratch on the palm rest. Well these are just minor problems, and the biggest one is with the operating system. As the seller says, the laptop is starting, but it  doesn’t boot into the operating system. The seller thinks that it may be a problem with the hard drive or RAM, but from what we are thinking there is a problem with the operating system. And a simple reinstallation of Windows might make it work. So if you want to take a risk, you can buy this laptop and hope that it will work when reinstalling the Windows. 35 dollars is not such a big amount of money. So if it doesn’t work you just spend 35 dollars…but if it is working you will be left with quite a good laptop, for a price 10 times lower than the real price. It has an Intel Pentium 4 processor with 2.8 Ghz, a screen size of 14 inch, a hard drive of 120 GB and 512 MB or RAM memory.



So this was just an example of one of the cheapest laptops on the market, but of course there are many more others. In case you too had bough a really cheap laptop we invite you to tell us more about it…tell us what technical details your laptop has, what price you payed for it and if you are happy with the quality it has…or maybe you would prefer to spend more money and buy a better product?

Well Balanced Notebook Deals

Published by OnlyBestLaptops, on Aug 05 2010, in the categories: General info, notebooks, Prices

Nowadays, there are lots of laptop computer brands. If you think that you know all of them, you are wrong. In this article, I will present several well balanced notebook deals. I think that we will exaggerate by saying that the new Balance laptop computer from Walmart has been cheaper than a bare foot even if it is an excellent deal. Walmart is a company in partnership with Linspire and it announced last year the basic Linux laptop computer pre-Christmas release for 498 dollars. Maybe, the balanced notebook is the cheapest new laptop computer that exists in the U.S that includes a great operating system and a full functioning office suite. But what about Linspire? What does it mean?

Linspire is the operating system based on Linux and it has claimed that its OS offers its customers significant security advantages against viruses or trojan horses which are meant to be targeted against PC users running Microsoft Windows operating system.

Now, I think it is time to be more precisely and give you further information about balanced notebooks. The balanced notebook model includes a processor of 1 GHz, a RAM of 128 MB, an hard drive of 30 GB, a CD ROM and a LCD (liquid crystal display) of 14.1 inch. It is possible that these features to hardly set the laptop computer world alight, but these are the adequate specs for a no frills machine. Concerning the bundled software package, it includes a firewall used for free (the Linspire v4.5 operating system named Open Office.org office suite).




It is an email program and an instant messenger software which is compatible with Yahoo, MSN and AOL. The laptop computer also has a free 3 month subscription for the service Lindow CNR, that offers to the laptop computer owner a click access and an installation to over 1.900 titles of software. All this Walmart`s action is admirable because there are many families who are not able to buy an expensive laptop computer model with a Centrino processor.

I am sure that those persons who look for a cheap laptop computer will be pleased finding out that balance laptop computer is the ideal one for their needs. You can purchase a Balance laptop computer at Walmart`s official website.

Further on, some advice concerning the access of a Balance laptop computer model A535 BIOS. The main setup need of your Balance A535 laptop computer model is the Bios. Bios is very powerful and it allows you the chance to change some aspects of the way your operating system works. Also, you can change the power settings and “say exactly” which device you would like your laptop computer to boot off of. The Bios can be accessed on a Balance laptop computer just by simply pressing a keyboard at the right moment. First step: restart the laptop computer or turn it on whether it is currently off.




Then, wait your balance laptop computer to turn on all the hardware components which exist in the machine. The third and the last step consists of pressing the F2 key which will access the Bios of your laptop computer. Remember! You must press the F2 key before your laptop computer begin to load the operating system. All is very easy! Try it if I woke up your curiosity.
