HP zv6000 notebook review
 |
I have tested the HP zv6000 notebook out for the past month and recommend it as one of the lower prices notebooks on the market. We tested a model with the AMD 64 Athlon chip which we highly recommend. We feel the price saved is well worth it. Also this unit had the XP Home, which for most if just fine. We would recommend to upgrade to XP Professional, but for the normal user the difference is hardly worth the cost. When running a cd or dvd, there is a whirling noise from the player, that we would like to be a bit quieter. the DVD playback is excellent. The battery life is a bit on the low side (3 or so hours), but what can you expect for $899 – 1000? This is a good buy, but at the same time we recommend an extra battery to those users that can not plug in all the time. |
Palm Treo 650
The Palm Treo 650 has a good display, bluetooth enabled, and decent speaker phone. The cell phone also has a 312MHz processor, Palm OS 5.4, multimedia, and e-mail support.
The camera is lacking in quality, as is the integrated memory.
The bottom line is, this is a good quality phone from Palm. Since the price has dropped from the launch of this phone, it makes it a good buy.

Microsoft XBox 360 – Cost $525 Sells $399
Microsoft XBox has done it again. The XBox costs $525 to make, more to advertise and ship, and not counting any profit. They are selling it for $399, and the retail store must make money. So I figure at 10% That would make it about $369, which translates to a loss of at least $156, not counting any misc costs.
OK, we have seen this before. They plan on making the money off of the games. Well that is a lot of games. Yes, games are $40 and up, but how much is profit? You need to sell 4 or more games just to make that up. This is not just on one unit, but thousands of units. With so many people burning games, the profit is not going to be steep on this product.
