Comments on HP Compaq C501NR – Another Sub-$500 Vista Home Basic Laptop

Jack

This laptop is alright, but there is a serious design flaw. The screen is much too heavy for the hinges in back, and the way in which it is attached leads to the screen falling off within a year. Another problem I experienced was with the VGA port failing and the cd drive occasionally doing the same.
