In December last year, I need to get a new Laptop (as my previous Acer died, as my colleague said, I probably gave it 5-7 years of use in 2 years, after-all this is my job!). I look around, as I wanted to get a powerful machine that was lightweight. The worst thing I did was look at reviews of laptops, because someone will always find a fault of some-kind. The HP NC8230 had its faults, but nothing in comparison with some of the other computers I looked into.
I called my trade supplier, and asked what they thought about the different laptops. They thought that the NC8230 was a good choice - So I thought about it for a few days, then bought one. When it arrived I noticed one immediate problem - The resoultion was so high that I couldn't easily read the screen - "No problem, just lower the resoultion" your thinking.... well, you can do that, but the screen goes a little blurry. Well - I use the machine plugged into an external monitor, mouse and keyboard most of the time - so I'm not too worried.
Recently, what has not made me happy, is that I can no longer get hold of a Docking Station for the laptop. I bought one when I get the laptop, however, I dropped it yesterday, and as a results, it doesn't work anymore! My suppliers tell me that have not got any, and can't get any!! I am waiting for HP to get back to me.
