This was my first computer and I bought it in 2007. I paid over £400 for it and I considered it to be a rip off because it only had 512MB RAM and was as slow as a snail. I didn't know anything about computers at the time and was a complete green horn. I've learned a lot since then. When I clicked on Internet Explorer I had to go for a smoke knowing it would take that long to open. I suffered it for a year and then bought something a lot better. I'm glad I kept it as I'll put extra RAM into it.
@mrwwe4life leme tell u my experience with this hp530, first time when I used it, it was soo fast that I felt lucky but, i swear just within a month, there were many problems found like, it was not switching on and off properly and slowing down e.t.c
Just after a year it completely slowed down and now it's motherboard is copmpletely destroyed...
I think that this HP company is nothing more than a peice of shit....

its very powerefficient but the battery sucks ass. 1 hour more or less and the laptop is pretty slow, i have it and i upgraded it to 3 gb ram and its still slow
for an HDMI, u need a kinda good graphics card, and this laptop has a fucked up graphics card, on GPU-Z it says it has 8mb of video memory and on some games it says it has 256 mb i dno whats up with that, Anyway if u have heard oh Battlefield heroes , this laptop can hardly play it on everything low, including the lowest resolution, even for a business laptop or for school i wouldnt recommend this. and yea man, 2 usb is pure crap, i always have to unplug something to connect something else.
yea this computer really isnt the best thing hp put out , 2 usbs are horrible i used to hook up my devices and keep having to swap them out
only up side is the recovery system you dont have to find all those disks the battery is horrible on it its like the G1 of computers it has the potential but falls short
i need sum help i jus bout a 530 and i went throu all the instructions then plugged it in but when i went to turn it on it sumthing about starting up for the first time and it is saying error unable sumthing and then it trys to start all over and does the same damn thing help any1

I had this notebook, and if you add 1gb ram more (making 2gb RAM), installing XP PRO SP3, this pc will be extremely fine. It run programs like MATLAB 7.5 R2007B, Autocad 2007!!! at very nice speed, without trouble. If you overclock the processor you can get more speed. I think this notebooks is just for working; for gaming I use my desktop PC, which has a quad core processor and a gforce 8800GTS XXX.
i don't think many people buy a notebook to play on it.a notebook capable of decent gaming costs a lot compared to a desktop so it's not worth the extra money in my opinion.
I had a unit of this kind.... but during constant travels, it automatically turns on and the battery gets so heated. Maybe advisable not for travelling. Must be the frame during close status.
I think it's more like, the product he is interested in, the more he is excited, because the product he is reviewing and who it's aimed for are a pretty perfect match. Also I have an HP bias.
That's a good laptop to have around your desk as an extra Screen/TV/Movie. Oh and if you have a top-of-the-line custom built PC in your dorm room you can control it from this baby in class.
It's not a veeeery good laptop to be as your primary system but veeeeery handy if it's just an extra accessory. I think that's the idea here Logan right?
Pinguinpower, you're a douchebag, Gefroce 7600 is for weak sissy laptops, whom owners only know how to play faggy little games, i've got mine hooked up with 8400 and thinking about ditching it for an 8600.
That was three months ago... i got 3 way sli 280gtx, i had to upgrade my motherboard forst, i can run crysis in 1278 x 720 with anti-aliasing on at 32 fps, which isvery playable, i had 53 as peak.
do'h, any ways i posted a second comment that explained it was a desk top, prolly comment limit exceed... not going to write all the specs again xd, neways, i'm happy with my own game rig right now, i only play COD4 and crysis on it anyways.
i dont have a sli board, i think sli corssfire is VERY over rated , seriously , i only got a 8800gt and it runs everrything on a 24inch resolution, spending 400 quid on 2 cards is very stupid
Yeah, 2 4870x2 only gives 20% more performance than a single 4870x2 on crysis, but still when new drivers come out, and when (hopefull) new games come out using the capability's of sli, the performance will double.
Take a Physix card for instance, it does you no good for cysis, cus its not suppoerted.
"lets see in the back... NOTHING(...surpised Logan...)... Nothing at all.....(The inner thoughts of logan take place...thinking....)Sooo... you dont have to worry to turn this pc around when you want to hook something up..... Logan ur a marketing MONSTER .
Btw that laptop sucks and logan knows it, too bad he has to advertise it. At least he says its good for business or student use, because it is. Media = nooo.
its not really great to use around the place to be portable coz it has like a 1 hour battery life
