Amazon.com Product Description

Work faster and more productively with the special edition HP L2105NR notebook PC. You'll also be helping to benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF). With your purchase, $50 from each HP L2105NR notebook goes to the LAF. The LAF provides the practical tools and information that people living with cancer need to live strong. Jointly developed by HP and processor manufacturer AMD, the L2105NR features the LIVESTRONG message on the cover and a reproduction of Lance Armstrong's autograph. Each purchase includes a yellow LIVESTRONG wristband and yellow stereo ear bud headphones with in-line volume control. LIVESTRONG wristbands represent unity in the battle against cancer and hope for all those who are living with cancer. The HP L2105NR features the AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-32, which will handle all you can throw at it today and will be ready for the coming onslaught of applications that will take advantage of 64-bit processing technology tomorrow. Supremely mobile, it weighs just over 5 pounds and has a BrightView 14-inch display--which provides improved viewing in direct sunlight. Other features include an 80 GB hard drive, 512 MB of installed RAM (2 GB maximum), dual-layer, multiformat DVD writer, built-in 54g wireless connectivity with 125HSM SpeedBooster, 128 MB of shared video RAM, and Windows XP Professional. In addition to the $50 that the LAF will receive from each notebook, AMD and HP plan to donate notebooks for use in LAF-funded cancer survivorship centers throughout the United States. The two companies are inviting you to join them in the support of the Lance Armstrong Foundation by matching or exceeding the $50 per unit for the LAF. AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology Combining strong performance with efficient usage of power, AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-32 is uniquely optimized to power today's thinnest notebooks. It's also built for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, which will require a processor with significant power. It includes such AMD technology features as HyperTransport (which increases the communication between integrated circuits), PowerNow! (which enables longer battery life and reduced heat generation), and Enhanced Virus Protection (which works with Windows XP Service Pack 2 to better withstand attacks from certain classes of viruses). It also features a 512 KB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.) The Basics <UL> <LI>Hard Drive: The 80 GB hard drive (5400 RPM) is a bit above average in size for notebook PCs, and its capacity is a welcome size for road warriors. <LI>Memory: The 512 MB of built-in memory (2 x 256 MB, PC2700, DDR SDRAM) is a good start for power users. It has two memory slots in total, with a maximum memory expansion up to 2 GB (2 x 1024 MB). <LI>CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, the L2105NR multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer DVD+R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. You can also burn your favorite music mixes to CD. <LI>Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a 101-key keyboard and a touchpad with on/off button and dedicated vertical/horizontal Scroll Up/Down pad. </ul> Screen, Graphics and Sound While the L2105NR's screen is actually as wide as standard 15-inch displays, the high-definition, widescreen 14-inch display (1280 x 768-pixel resolution) has the same form factor as a 12-inch screen--taking up less space on your desk. Even more impressive, its high resolution provides 25% more information than standard 15-inch XGA displays. This BrightView screen also provides a 20 percent brighter screen for better definition and 33 percent wider viewing angle for more accurate, off-center viewing. Video is powered by the ATI Radeon XPress 200M IGP video/graphics card, which delivers good, though not high-end, 3D graphics. It has 128 MB of shared video RAM, which uses the notebook's main memory. It also features 16-bit Sound Blaster Pro-compatible audio and internal speakers. Connectivity and Expansion Slots The L2105NR has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. The 125 HSM/SpeedBooster support will enable it to be ready for tomorrow's 125 Mbps wireless LANs and the BroadRange support provides your 802.11g connection up to 50 percent more range than competing technologies.

What happens after 6 months.......2006-05-31

I got this notebook last fall and was quite happy with it - for a reasonable price the configuration you get is much more better than the competitive laptops. I was thinking that this is a good deal that cannot be true - and I was right.

After half a year, now I clearly see the many SERIOUS disadvantages which are caused by LOWER QUALITY:

- it gets HOT - if you plan to work with a laptop on your lap (what of course is quite often), after a while it becames REALLY HOT and impossible to work with. You MUST put it away from your legs because you cannot stand the heat. And this happens EVERY TIME! Right now as well, you would never believe how bad it makes you feel - almost impossible to work with!

- LOW BATTERY LIFETIME - when the laptop was new, I got about 2-2.5 hours of lifetime. Now it stays for 1 hour!!! After a clean installation of OS, it is still 1 hour. Unbelievable when I consider that my friend with old ASUS laptop with INTEL mobile processor gets 3 hours at least. I am quite sorry but I have to admit that AMD really cannot do the same job in processors for notebooks. All marketing talks about TURION as the new "mobile" 64-bit processor of AMD that offers advantages for notebook users were just TRASH. Now I feel so ashamed because I am the only one that must recharge after one hour of working when working at school group projects.

- DVD ROM PROBLEMS - I have so much trouble reading DVD movies (even original new dvd movie sometime cannot be read and DVD stops playing) and writing DVD disks (errors and ruined blank medium), there is apparenty something wrong with this line of DVD-ROMs in the notebook because when looking for help on the Internet, I found that I am not the only one with those trouble! Plus, the new drivers that could maybe solve this problems were never made (TSSTCorp TS-L532R)- there is NO SUPPORT. And double layer writing? Don't even think it could work!!!!

- the plastic cover of the screen is cracked on two spots (right next to hinges). First I thought that I dropped the notebook somewhere and I don't remember, but the cracks look really specifically to be done from material stress - which does not come from falling on the ground or bad manipulation but solely from regularly opening the laptop!!! The material is just cheap and not designed to last for a long time.

If I were to choose now, I would prefer to pay a bit more or to pay the same price for worse configuratuion - because the real truth is that the quality of Livestrong is not really great. The worst thing is AMD TURION PROCESSOR - absolute disaster to choose for your laptop! I have always preffered AMD over INTEL but now I see that the quality gap is still very very considerable.

Cost-efficient solution.......2006-05-12

I bought this notebook a few months ago, and I have to say that I love it. I carry it back and forth to work regularly and she's holding up well. She's pretty speedy, except my iTunes sucks up a TON of memory which slows everything down. I think it's an issue with iTunes, not the laptop.

I love the ports on both sides. Built in ethernet and wireless ports provide great access to the internet (with a service provider, of course!)

I have had a few minor issues, though. One is RAM. I didn't realize that the 512 MB RAM would be shared with the video RAM. Effectively, that has reduced the total amount of useable RAM. Memory-intensive programs (ex. Illustrator or Photoshop) cannot be installed without upgrading. Bigger programs (including PowerPoint) tend to run slowly, especially during multi-tasking or working on the Internet. Everyone has mentioned that the laptop generates a LOT of heat and that the battery is pretty weak (though almost every laptop comes with a 6-cell these days).

Overall, this is far better than I could have expected for the price. I will upgrade the RAM soon, though, for my personal needs.

Not a laptop expert but quite a deal.......2006-03-23

This laptop was quite a good buy for its price. I liked the fact that I got an 80 GB hard drive and DL DVD burner and the overall price of the laptop was under[...](after rebate of course). It was also great to get Radeon Xpress 200M instead of the usual Intel Extreme Graphics on other laptops. There were some things I wished were better in this laptop. The standard 6 cell battery could only last a little under 2 hours, which made taking notes in class a tricky proposition unless I plugged it into an outlet. Also, for some strange reason, the iTunes that came pre-installed on the laptop failed to launch no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall (I don't think anyone else would have this problem). The laptop also could get hot quite quickly, but not a problem if you prop up the laptop. Overall, this was a great buy for me and I believe everyone would enjoy it

this one's worth a buy !!.......2006-03-01

I am a student and i have very limited options in terms of how much i can afford to buy a laptop....i came across this piece HP special edition L2105NR, and i went ahead tentatively and bought it for about 900$.
And i was more than happy after i used this one for about a month now.it's got a very good processor in the making (AMD turion-64),which seems very fast,though it could generate quite a bit of heat.one more thing whic i liked about it is its mobility,it weighs around 5.4 lbs which for sure is an added advantage,and it catches up wireless networks pretty good.and I love the keypad which comes with this piece.
as far as i could see,the disadvantage of this is the heat which it generates when you work for long hours.
but otherwise i feel this piece is worth a buy.

Excelente Maquina.......2006-02-17

Aunque es nuestra primera laptop comprada han pasado por nuestras manos varias e indudablemente esta es la mejor. Una pantalla espectacular que quita cualquier duda de que 14" pulgadas es poco, ya que su modelo widescreen la hace ver super grande. El teclado muy cómodo y sensible. El scroll en el pad es una idea genial, al principio difícil de manejar pero al cabo de muy poco se puede manejar con destreza. El lector de tarjetas es algo muy practico, sobre todo por que tiene 6 tipos de lectores en uno solo. Todos los puertos usb que te imagines. El bluetoh funciona a las mil maravilla y la conexion inalambrica también. Quizás el único detalle que tiene es que la bateria dura poco tiempo, sobre todo si tienes el sistema de conexion inalambrica encendida.
