Reviews & Ratings for HP SmartBuy 550 Core 2 Duo T5670 1.8GHz/2GB/160GB/DVD SMDL LS/abg/NIC/15.4" BV WXGA/VB-XPP I bought this for my wife. The laptop was the right size and simple to use. Additionally, the processor was fast enough and ran cool. The XP Pro that it came with was an added plus.

Reviews & Ratings for HP SmartBuy 550 Core 2 Duo T5670 1.8GHz/2GB/160GB/DVD SMDL LS/abg/NIC/15.4" BV WXGA/VB-XPP This hp Laptop is perfect for low budget. It has light weight and battery life of more than 3.5 hours. The laptop I got has Windows XP Professional as OS. This may be the reason for high battery life. The processing speed is good.
The design is very simple. If you are particular about exterior looks, then don't go for this. The edges are designed thin which I didn't like and the palms will pain if you hold these edges for long time.
Display is good but not the best. There is some glare if you see it at an angle from the top which is not there in my old Sony. This is ideal for students and business people who need good battery life and low weight with large display. I bought this for my brother who travels a lot.
There is no fan noise as I saw on some reviews. Speaker volume is acceptable but not very loud as in most of the laptops.

Reviews & Ratings for HP SmartBuy 550 Core 2 Duo T5670 1.8GHz/2GB/160GB/DVD SMDL LS/abg/NIC/15.4" BV WXGA/VB-XPP This notebook (laptop) was exactly what I was looking for -- No bells & whistles, just solid value, respectable-speed dual core, XP Pro w/2GB RAM and even an SD card reader built in. Only negative I've found is that the screen reflects light brightly -- I've been used to screens that tend to difuse reflected light. Also making all the external connections on the left side instead of the rear takes some getting used to.

Reviews & Ratings for HP SmartBuy 550 Core 2 Duo T5670 1.8GHz/2GB/160GB/DVD SMDL LS/abg/NIC/15.4" BV WXGA/VB-XPP It arrived today only. No hassles in configuring it . light wight no noise as i read in review that its noisy . One thing this site doesn't say which is that it has memory card reader and it has slot for it in front of it. Only one thing which i personally think would have been great if volume control was on the hardware as they have for power and wireless . Over all good buy for the price.
