Why the HP 550?

The HP 550 boasts just about everything you could ask for in a high performance laptop, without compromising on the looks or price. Looks-wise, it is pleasingly slim, sleek and dark grey in colour. Features:

• 15.4” widescreen BrightView display, enhancing images in any light

• A choice of Windows Vista Business or Windows Vista Home Basic
• Intel Core 2 Duo processor, allowing you to successfully run multiple programs at any one time
• Wireless and Bluetooth enabled, making the HP 550 ideal for home and/or mobile broadband use
• 160GB hard drive, meaning you’ll hardly ever, if at all, run out of space
• 2GB of RAM which is optionally upgradable for heavier users, although 2GB is ample memory for a standard business laptop
• Built in Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools, defending your network, applications and data to prevent intervention from unauthorized users

Who is the HP 550 laptop best suited to?

In our opinion, the Hewlett Packard 550 is a superb laptop for home leisure users, but it also makes a great business machine. The option to pick one up free with mobile broadband makes it ideal as a second computing device – one you might use on the go to make use of mobile broadband technology, or keep up to date with work assignments. It also has optional upgradable RAM, meaning power users with higher memory needs aren’t excluded.

The HP 550 simply lends itself to business users, with Windows Vista Business as its standard operating system, and the inbuilt Device Access Manager for data protection, it isn’t hard to see whose needs Hewlett Packard are aiming to meet.

The Hewlett Packard website offers customers the chance to share their HP computing experiences in Consumer Support Forums, and even the specifically aimed Business Support Forums. This is a great way to solve any problems you might encounter without the fuss of an email or phone call. That isn’t to say, however, that further help isn’t available. A diagnostic question and answer section on the website can also help with any issues, and failing this, there is always the email and telephone help at hand to deal with your PC or laptop problem.
