To finally end my illustrious journey to this series, the top budget laptop under $1K, is the champion of the lot.

Drumroll please

And the winner of the most budget laptop is the HP Pavilion dv2660se .

HP has since came out with big campaigns on promoting their laptops and computing equipment and not surprising the HP is “Top Laptop Vendor Of The Year ” this year.

The HP Pavilion dv2660se multimedia laptop with excellent battery life. It’s great design and cost ($899) is one of the most appeal aspects of this laptop.

The hardware specs is not bad at all, actually for an average user is good enough already.

It comes built in with a 1.5Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo (T5250) processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and an Intel Express Intergarted Graphics chipset. The weight which an equivalent to a 6-pounder has a customized made 12-cell battery which can last you for 6.3 hours. That’s a lifetime of 2.5 hours compared to an average laptop !

The cons of it is that the outlook of the laptop tend to be unsightable with the battery protuding out as in the figure on the right.

This laptop is designed for Windows Vista Home Premium users as the multimedia functions tell it all.

Extra functions include the hotkeys or Quick Play for you to access your CD/DVD without turning on your set. It is also built based on the 802.11 n - networks for faster speed connections and for the user what more do you expect for the price that’s is being displayed.

This 14.1 inch laptop is a steal and a recommended product for those going in a tight budget.

When getting yourself a new notebook, i saw a lot of users blinded by the features, cost and looks of a notebook computer.

Who doesn’t ?

Its utterly normal when you go to the shopping mall or any electronics trade fairs that the first things the sales people will show you are the features, the cost and the looks.

But what about the size?

I’ll be very frank to tell you that size does matters…

Why?

The bigger the notebook (example a 15.4 widescreen notebook LCD), the heavier it gets.

Unless you using the notebook computer as a desktop replacement which will remain at one location at your home …. then a 15.4 or a 17 inch notebook will suit you fine.

Imagine going to one place to another carrying a 17 inch notebook computer on your shoulders! Damn!

So remember….. size does matters when you buy a notebook. Till next time folks …… Rock Forever…….
