New lappy!

[Fran]

Well, having had our little windfall today! (See reclaiming bank charges thread) I am now in possession of a new laptop! Wow!! is all I can say, how fast is it?? and how well it handles doing a hundred things at once :cool: I am so so very pleased with it :D I have struggled on with a failing laptop for months now.....so more time on here me thinks :shock: :-D

[dandysmom]

Oh wow, that's cool, Fran! You must be very pleased...what did you get? Not pink, I bet.... :-D

[Fran]

No, it's definitely not pink!!! It's a Hewlett packard entertainment widescreen notebook, shiny black/silver :-D

[dandysmom]

How about a pic?

[Fran]

How about a pic?

What's the difference with a notebook then Fran? looking at buying new one myself this is so slow now

[Fran]

What's the difference with a notebook then Fran?

'Notebook' is just another word for a laptop bc. Seriously, go and get yourself one, I cannot believe how long I managed with my old lappy :?

[babycakes]

O I thought it was a technical thing and I was avoiding them o dear!!!!

[babycakes]

Thought they had less on them you see

[Carole]

No, it's definitely not pink!!! It's a Hewlett packard entertainment widescreen notebook, shiny black/silver :-D

My sister has one similar to that :) does everything a desktop does.

[Fran]

I love the versatility of a laptop. This one certainly does everything that the childrens' desktop computers can do and more!! I'd never be with out a lappy now. I love being able to have it in the living room, garden, kitchen, bedroom etc... :cool:

[babycakes]

I have a lap top but didn't realise that a notebook was the same thing I thought they were a smaller version with less power etc (let OH do the technical stuff)

[Mags]

Sounds lovely Fran..... there will be no stopping you now! :-D

[Fran]

I think Notebook is a loose term for laptop?? Anyhow this one says on the front that it is a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. I went for a 15.4in widescreen brightview display in the end. I was fancying a 17in but felt it might be too big to sit on my lap :? I've also invested in one of those laptop coolers as my legs have been red raw in the past with the heat that the lap top throws out. I'm extrememly pleased with that too!

Question: don't they eat batteries? Can you recharge them overnight? How often do you have to buy new batteries? Sorry if this is a dumb question. I spend a lot of time on the desktop.....

[Mags]

That's a good question Eileen, I'd like to know the answer to that too....:D

They have a rechargable battery. I rarely run mine off the battery tbh. I use mine plugged in most of the time although it's recommended that you take the battery out of it if you run it off the mains regularly aparantly...

Here's the spec and a piccie

Very nice Fran :) thats the same as our last one that died,it had a sever accident and never recovered :lol:
We have had laptops for the last 5 years now and there is no way I could be without one,the time inbetween the other one dieing and buying this one was hell!!!!!!!!!!!

[Moli]

Very nice PK, makes a difference when it does what you want when you want doesn't it??
I have always had a notebook laptop, and as you say does everything a more than some Desktops....
