Looking for a laptop that does exactly what you want it to without all the media bells and whistles that drain the battery?
Well the 550 from HP is designed for the road warrior who needs to get things done quickly and efficiently and hasnt got space for a couple of spare batteries.
Armed with a 2Ghz Celeron processor, the 550 is more than competent at whipping through task, after task, after task - whether youre on the road or at home - and is perfect for checking Facebook, completing the your latest Powerpoint presentation, downloading from iTunes or burning and printing DVDs with the lightscribe optical drive.
The 15.4" screen has a crisp resolution of 1280 x 800 and features HPs Brightview technology to further improve the picture quality of the DVDs youll be able to watch and with 2GB RAM to keep Vista Business running as it should and a 160GB hard drive to store pretty much everything youd need on a laptop, HP have made sure the essentials are more than taken care of.
But most impressive for a laptop of this size, is a battery life of up to four and a half hours. Which means for those people who like to use their laptop as it was meant to be used - away from the mains - it beats the competition in this price range hands down.
Although the HP550 will not be the ideal choice for people needing a powerhouse performance-packed notebook for 3D image manipulation or sound production, it does make an ideal business machine for the thousands of business users rushing from one meeting to the next.
