HP Notebooks

People don’t always shop for individual notebooks but instead ask questions like: “Should I get an HP or a Dell?” Knowing which brands you can trust to deliver the features you’re looking for can help focus the search for the perfect notebook. So we’ve gathered a year’s worth of data to help you narrow down your choices.
It’s not as simple as saying that one brand is better than another — companies sell many different types of laptops with different target audiences in mind. That’s why we’re looking carefully at each of the major brands.
Strengths

Hardware: Across all categories of HP notebooks and netbooks a few core strengths emerge. Design is a big one: aesthetically pleasing Imprint patterns, anodized aluminum lids/decks, and generally well-built chassis have played a major role in making HP the notebook king. We’ve also found the vendor’s keyboards tend to be solid and comfortable, even on its netbooks. Most of the HP laptops we’ve tested during the past year have performed well on our tests, with the majority of systems notebooks turning in strong performance scores and good Wi-Fi throughput.

Software: HP has been particularly aggressive in embracing multitouch technology, and its TouchSmart software (found on the TX2z and presumably other upcoming Tablets) is second to none so far on the Windows side of the house. The company has also done a nice job with its QuickWeb instant-on software for getting online fast. Business users benefit from utilities like QuickWeb, as well as QuickLook for glancing at Outlook info without fulling booting Windows). On its ProBook business line, security apps like File Sanitizer help you protect your data from prying eyes.
