 I love this Laptop August 15, 2005
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I ordered this laptop about 1 month ago to use for school. I also ordered a linksys wireless router at the same time. I had no problems whatsoever getting the laptop or the router to work. The laptop is very nice and just the right size for someone on the go.
I have used it for downloading pictures and movies and it works great. I also liked the free targus bag that came with it although it was a little too big for the laptop. I am very pleased with this product and the price.
AMD TURION 64 MOBILE TECHNOLOGY ROCKS!!! August 18, 2005

WOW, I just recently replaced my old productivity notebook with the new HP Special Edition L2005CU notebook PC, powered by AMD's new Turion 64 Mobile Technology and I have to say it Rocks! My unit has the added benefit of 1GB of RAM and the ML-34 Turion 64 chip which just zooms. With integrated wireless 802.11g and bluetooth I can stay connected at home or on the go. The 3 USB 2.0 ports are nice and allow me to connect all my necessary peripherals, along with the mini IEEE 1394 firewire port. As an added bonus this unit has an S-Video port so you can hook it up to your TV and view movies, picture shows and much more. The sound quality coming from the Altec Lansing speakers is very nice too. Lastly I love the DVD+RW port my unit comes with, its very fast and it allows me to store tons of data where your typical CD-RW cannot. The brightview screen is sharp and vivid and the ATI Radeon PCIe xpress 200M display adapter handles everything I throw at it from digital content creation to movies and games, this is one fast relaible system.
All in all the LIVESTRONG notebook is a home run. I've never had any issues with Compaq or HP which is why I purchased this special unit. In fact, if you ask me, no one makes a better laptop especially when its powered by AMD processors.

This was my frst time buying a laptop, so I did a lot of research. The HP L2005US has everything that you need plus the AMD Turion 64 supports you for the future. When I finally received the laptop (after 6 days of phone calls to Amazon, but that it another story), I was amazed at how easy it was to set up my wireless network on it (less than 2 minutes) and how fast this system was. I decided to start multi tasking, trying to edit a photo, run excel, and listen to music(come with Itunesalready installed). No issues !!! Touch pad was fine, view on the screen is super. Does come with a lot of trial programs that you may or may not want. Took me about 10 minutes to clean some of these off my system. Overall, left it running for 24 hours straight, no issues - I am very happy with the laptop !!!
My portable professional workhorse! September 21, 2005
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I love this laptop. It is lightweight, portable, and high powered. It isn't the lightest, most portable, or most powerful; but gets the job done in quick and stylish fashion. The display is awsome, the DVD+_RW is outstanding, the 64 bit mobile processor works very well, the combination of Wi-Fi, bluetooth, USB 2, and firewire is incredible in such a small package. The battery life has been wonderful. I am a professional IT person. I do "heavy lifting" with computers. I am not a gammer, and wouldn't recommend this laptop for that purpose (not that it would do poorly mind you... I'd just get something with a larger screen and dedicated RAM based video card), but for just about everything else it is wonderful. I have mine dual booting with XP Pro (shipped) and Linux Fedora. Drivers all seem to be working well for Linux which isn't the case for every laptop. If there is anything I would like to be different, it would be that the screen be SWXGA instead of just WXGA, but we can't have everything can we. This is a great buy!

I live in Mxico and you can not get deals like this here, May be neither in the US. The price of laptops like this here start in about 1600 dlls. People wonder if AMD processors are as good as INTEL and after some reserch in internet I found out that are better or worst depending on applications your run, but are almost about the same. Remember that INTEL expends huge amounts in Media and publicity and you pay for that of course. Prevoiusly I owned intel IBM and Dell laptops without complains also.
I bought this about 6 months ago and could not be happier, not to mention the 50 bucks contribution to the Lance foundation and the livestrong graphics that people think are cool.
Other Pro's: Great chasis and nice screen. dvd's movies resoultion and audio it's great.
Cons: not really lighweight.
Hurry, Get one!!
