Hello friends, Today I am going to share my personal experience of HP 1000.In this notebook, build quality is above average with high quality plastics used throughout the body. The plastics don’t creak or squeak when you are carrying it arround, and when closed it has a very solid feel. The style of screen is becoming more common on multimedia notebooks, but on a notebook witch might be used while traveling or outside it adds a level of annoyance that is hard to overcome. Boot times felt slower than what we were used to and moving files around from external drives took longer then expected. One odd feature is a missing Kensington lock slot related with a proprietary connector that looks more like a lanyard hook than a security attachment point.The speaker on this notebook sound very nice, easily win out over other notebook models. I recommend buying and using all of you .
