HP Compaq F500 Series Review








Overview

The Compaq F500 is a series of notebooks from HP featuring AMD CPUs. This particular model under review, the F560US, has the AMD Sempron CPU while others in the model line have Athlon TK Dual Core CPUs. The F500 series is squarely planted in the budget end of the notebook spectrum. The F560us has a minimum of features and style, but that's not necessarily a bad thing if you're on a limited budget. You're probably going to see a lot of the F500 series between now and Christmas. I know Circuit City has the similar C717NR, which comes with the Pentium Dual Core instead of an AMD CPU, on Black Friday as a doorbuster item. Stores will probably use them as a way to entice you into the store with a low price after rebates hoping you'll buy other stuff as well. That's how they got me to buy. The F560us' best features are the pleasing glossy screen, simple look and low price. It also has some less than stellar attributes as well. We're going to look at it all in detail in this review.

I like my ThinkPad R60 a lot, but the screen on it is relatively dim. It's really my only major complaint about it. Sometimes the R60's higher resolution SXGA+ screen causes me eye fatigue after using it for longer periods of time, especially when I am tired. I had just reviewed the Toshiba A215 and seen some other notebooks with bright glossy screens which made me want one too.

I decided to look for a notebook with a glossy screen for when I was tired of looking at my dim ThinkPad. I will mainly use it for Internet, music, burning a few discs, Office and maybe a little light photo editing – the same things I do on my ThinkPad. I don't need a lot of performance; heck a Pentium III would probably suffice for what I'm doing. I was looking for something inexpensive with a good glossy screen. Originally, I looked at the Fujitsu A6025 at NewEgg when they were offering a $200 rebate on it. I suspect the Fujitsu would have provided a bit better quality and performance with the Core Duo, but they ran out before I could buy. I was surfing the net late one night and came across a deal for the F560US for $350 after rebate. I bought the Compaq on a whim and hoped for the best.

Build and Design
If there is a theme to the design on the F560, it would be simple, in design and features. You get just what you need and nothing more. Every time I look at it, it sort of reminds of Kim Jong-il wearing his workers party suit.

The F560's case is made of plastic. It does not have HP's new Imprint Finish technique, so it's not shiny and pretty, but does not attract the smudges that the new look glossy notebooks do. The case is black on the outside with a dark gray keyboard area and black keyboard. The case features rounded edges and has a lone Compaq logo adorning the lid of the notebook. All in all quite simple I would say, but on occasion attracting less attention is a good thing. The F560 has a 15.4" screen and weighs about six and half pounds. It's probably not a notebook that should be carried on a daily basis, but taking it out now and again is certainly doable. The size of the notebook is quite similar to that of my R60, it's just wider due to the screen and a bit heavier.

Back to back with the R60.
The quality of the F560 is good. I think the build quality taken in context of the cost ($350) is very good, but if you need something more durable, you should probably be spending more money if you can. On a side note, most of the more recent budget notebooks I've seen lately have been a step up in quality. Higher grade plastics and more rigid frames seem to be more the norm than they were a few years ago. Hooray for us budget users.
The case on the F560 is made of smooth plastic. While it's not the kind of notebook that can withstand major accidents, it feels as though it can take the minor scrapes and dings that most notebooks experience during their lifetimes. The frame feels rigid, though there is one small spot on the right side that creaks slightly when picked up from the edge. Fit and finish on the F560 is solid. There are no gaps where there shouldn't be nor any misaligned parts.
The screen is secured to the base using one long hinge which almost runs the length of the notebook. It feels very stiff, if anything stiffer than my steel hinged ThinkPad -- though not by a lot and my ThinkPad has a years use on it. The lid does not offer a lot of protection as it ripples most places you put pressure on it. The F560 does not have a latch to secure the lid, but the last inch or so it puts a lot of downward pressure on the screen. It sort of makes a thud when you close it. I don't think there's much chance it's going to open by itself. Time will tell if it holds up.

Screen

The screen on the F560US is, in my opinion, the best thing about it. It is a 15.4” glossy screen. It has 10 brightness levels which can be adjusted via the keyboard. I know there have been a lot of complaints about the screen quality of HP notebooks in the NBR Forums and a lot of other manufacturers as well. Perhaps I won the screen lottery, but the screen on the unit I received is fantastic. The screen is clear and bright. The colors on it are rich and vibrant, seeming to leap off the screen. There is no grain or sparkle. Light leakage is very minimal, much better than the norm I would say. There were no dead/stuck pixels on the unit I received.

The screen on the F560 is WXGA(1280x800). I used to be a bit of a screen resolution junky. In the past I always wanted a higher resolution so I could cram as much as I could onto the screen as possible. After having owned three ThinkPads in a row with their relatively dim matte screens, I've since moderated my stance. Brightness and readability have taken on a greater importance, as long as a I have a decent mechanism to scroll with which the F560 provides via the trackpad scrolling zones. Viewing angles on the F560 are thin like most notebooks. The glossiness can be annoying at times, but I've learned to live with it as a trade off for the extra brightness of the screen.

A screen brightness comparison.

In the shot above, both screens are set to their maximum brightness. While the Compaq certainly looks brighter, I don't think the picture does justice to how much brighter it seems in person.

Performance & Benchmarks

Sempron and performance are usually not used in the same sentence, especially where Vista is concerned. Out of the box performance was quite sluggish due to having Vista in conjunction with the low amount of memory and the bloatware. Even HP suggests 1GB of memory as the minimum for Vista, but sells a notebook with less memory, Hmmm... I truly feel sorry for anyone who has to use this notebook as configured with 512MB. It's not horrible and maybe someone who doesn't know better wouldn't mind, but after having had better it can be irritating. After using Vista Home Basic and making a few upgrades, I decided to dump Vista in favor of XP which at this point offers superior performance. I will detail all of this later in the software section.

All of the benchmarks were run while using XP, not Vista which came with the machine. I doubt it wouldn't have made much of a difference as it's not really a performance machine, but it's something to keep in mind when reviewing the benchmarks.



wPrime

wPrime is a CPU benchmarking utility. It uses a multithreaded technique which can better differentiate between CPUs with multiple cores than Super Pi which is single threaded. Being that the Sempron has one core, it doesn't score very well.

Drives & Storage

The F560 has the LiteOn DS8A1P DVD burner. It is an 8x DVD burner which also has support for DVD-RAM. A full DVD burn clocks in at 13 minutes while a full CD comes in at around six minutes, both solidly average for a notebook drive. I burned several CDs and DVDs. I had no issues with the discs I burned on it. The drive was a surprisingly good ripper, which is unusual for a notebook drive. It ripped a full DVD in a little over nine minutes. The tray on the drive felt a little flimsy, but did its job well otherwise.

The Toshiba hard drive spins at 5400RPM and has 80GB of storage. After accounting for the 7GB recovery partition and Vista, there was about 50GB of free space left on the drive. Performance on the drive was good. There is one 512MB sodimm of PC5300 memory on the F560. Both the hard drive and memory are easily accessed by taking off a panel located on the underside of the notebook. I am sure the first thing you are going to want to do if you buy this notebook is upgrade the memory.

Keyboard Area

The F560US has an 86 key keyboard. Being a ThinkPad owner, I knew the keyboard on the Compaq would be a step backwards. The keyboard is OK, nothing to get overly excited about. While it is fairly firm in most places, it does have some give in some spots, particularly around the J,K,M,I keys. While key travel is good, key depth is shallower than I would like. The keys feel a little cheap, which is not unexpected, and can be noisy when typing -- which I don't mind. When typing on the keyboard, the cursor has a tendency to move around quite a bit. It was very annoying while working on this review as I'd be typing a sentence then suddenly be three lines above and have to correct it. I do not think I was hitting the touchpad. It was not a driver issue because I had the latest touchpad driver installed. Hopefully, HP will get this sorted out because it was the most vexing aspect of using the notebook.

The keyboard on the F560.

The touchpad is wide on the F560 and very smooth. It has scroll zones on the left and bottom of the touchpad. Given the lower resolution of the screen, it makes an effective tool for browsing. You can disable the touchpad with a button on the rim of the touchpad which was helpful when writing the review because the cursor had a tendency to jump. One think I really like about HP's budget notebooks is the touchpad buttons. On most budget notebook, clicky or noisy buttons seem to be the norm, but not on HP's notebooks. The have very quiet and pleasant action with just the right amount of force needed to use them. I know this is a pet peeve of mine that most people probably wouldn't notice, but I like to give credit where it is due.

Battery & AC

The F560 comes with a six cell battery. There is a 12 cell battery option if you need more time, but since I will mostly be using it at home, it's not a big issue for me. Setting the screen to half brightness with WiFi on doing normal tasks like Office and Internet, I was able to get 2:22 minutes of battery life going from 100% until in went into hibernation. Two plus hours of battery life seems fair given the machines budget nature. The screen is so bright on the F560, you could turn it down more and eke out some additional time if needed. The AC brick is petite, which is always a plus for portability. It does use a three-pronged plug which may sometimes make finding a suitable outlet more difficult.

Heat & Noise

For having a rather low wattage CPU, the F560us does run kind of warm. Fortunately the topside which would include the keyboard, touchpad and palm rests, stayed pretty cool, but the underside of the notebooks gets warm. It was never uncomfortable to use, even without pants, but it definitely runs warmer than my ThinkPad. The warmest spot seemed to be beneath the hard drive bay which is odd since when I had the drive in my ThinkPad, it ran very cool. The main vent is located on the rear. With the extra heat on the F560, the fan does run from time to time. It's loud enough to hear even over say some music you're playing, but it is not so noisy as to be bothersome. I personally don't notice these things often, but I recognize it may bother others more. If you are using it somewhere people may be more sensitive to noise levels, it may be an issue.

Wireless & Networking

The F560 has a Broadcom wireless card. I had no issues with the card in either XP or Vista. I had planned to dual boot my machine with XP and Linux or make it my Linux box, but the Broadcom card complicates things. I actually knew the Broadcom card was a pretty good possibility when I bought it, but did it anyway. Broadcom cards have poor Linux support. I'll probably still do it, but I'm not in a hurry.

Ports & Connections

Being a budget notebook, port selection on the F560us is miserly. It does not have a PC or ExpressCard slot, nor a card reader which is standard equipment on most notebooks. Having said that, I don't have a problem with the minimal ports if it helps keep the price down. USB ports are the only ones I use with any regularity. Three is enough for me. In all the notebooks I've had or used over the years I can only think of one situation where I used a slot card, that was when notebooks I used lacked an internal WiFi card where I had to use an external card. That's obviously not a problem on the F560. Owning three ThinkPads in a row, I'm sort used to not having a card reader and have an external reader if needed. The left side of the F560has two USB ports, a modem and ethernet jacks, S-Video and VGA ports.

Sound
The F560us has a pair of Altec Lansing speakers located between the screen and the keyboard. The sound quality is good for a notebook, better then my ThinkPad which has poor speaker placement. I'd rate the sound quality on the better side of average of notebooks I've heard. It gets fairly loud without distorting too much to go along with a little bit of bass. While the speakers will never rival a good pair of headphones, it is certainly good enough for DVDs or listening to some music.

Software

The F560us comes with Vista Home Basic. I kind of like the look of Vista Basic over the Aero look of the other versions of Vista, just my personal preference. Either way it's a nice change of pace from XP which we've all been using for so long. There was a fair amount of bloatware on the F560 like the Office Trial and Vongo though I have have seen other machines with more. I tried to make a go of Vista. I did a clean install of Vista using my Anytime Upgrade Disc. I did all the system tweaks hoping to speed things up like turning off start up items and superfetch, and disabling indexing and system restore. I added a faster 7200RPM hard drive and another 512MB of memory. I had hoped these tweaks and additions would help make Vista run more smoothly because I have run Vista Business on my R60 with 1GB of memory and it seemed to run decently. Perhaps an additional 1GB of memory would have done the trick, but in in the end I think the Sempron CPU is just too slow to power Vista properly. Apps would hang when clicked on like when using a slower hard drive. Doing any CPU intensive tasks like installing software or coding audio really bogged it down, even with the faster hard drive. I decided Vista had to go.

XP here I come. One problem with installing XP on the F560 is because the machine never was sold with XP, HP does not supply XP drivers for the machine. I found that using the XP drivers for the Compaq V6000, which was offered with XP, provides most of the XP drivers for the machine. The graphics driver for the Nvidia 6150 is one that does not work. However, googling for the Nvidia 6150 XP drivers will provide solutions. You will need to slipstream the SATA drivers for XP to get it to install correctly or Service Pack Two works as well. After getting XP installed, things ran much better. It seems just as fast as my ThinkPad when doing everyday tasks like Internet and Office.



Warranty & Support

The F560 comes with a one year hardware warranty along with 90 days of software support if you register the notebook with HP. You get 30 days of software support otherwise. Given the notebook's low price, it seems reasonable. I purchased the notebook with my American Express card which extends the warranty an additional year or probably about the notebook's useful life to me. I am not one who calls support often. I usually fix things myself. I haven't had the opportunity to use HP's support services as of yet. When I have in the past for myself or someone else, I have always found them to be helpful and friendly.

Like the vast majority of notebooks sold today, the F560us does not come with recovery discs or a Windows disc. HP gives you the option to burn off a set of recovery discs which will restore your machine to its factory state, bloatware and all. It is not a Windows disc. When you make the recovery discs, it gives the option of making one dual layer DVDs, two single layer discs, or seven CDs. I chose the single disc for simplicity.

Apple's new 3G iPod nano is a 5G video iPod in a nano-thin shell

The new third generation Nano has the same small and ultra thin form factor as previous Nanos and similarly occupies the same sports-centric product position in the Apple's iPod line. However, it adds full video iPod features on a screen smaller than the existing 5G video iPod. How well does it deliver?

The All-New 3G Nano

Based on Apple's own unflattering photos and all of the "Fat Nano" blogger talk, I imagined the new Nano would look like a chunky stopwatch. In reality, the new Nano is as thin as the tall Nano it replaced, but its rounded back cover makes it appear and feel even thinner. It's also significantly shorter, making it look more like the original iPods, shrunken a size or two and then squashed flat.

In addition to being an all new form factor with a larger screen with the ability to play photos, video, and games, the new Nano fits well into the Nano family tree. It's ultra thin. Let me rephrase that: it's crazy insane wafer thin, both compared to the slim iPhone, and the previous generations of music-only Nanos.

The new Nano looks and feels so thin that it makes my iPhone look like an aircraft carrier it could land upon. That thinness really sets it apart from the hard drive based iPod Classic line, which appeals to people who want to carry a lot of content around; the low cost, simple iPod Shuffle; and the new iPod Touch, which delivers a the large multitouch and widescreen features of the iPhone. In addition to being thin, it also is the only iPod that works with the Nike+ and has a fancy stopwatch logging feature, reinforcing the sports centric role of the Nano as the ultra slim version you're supposed to wear on your arm while exercising.

Third-gen iPod nano


Apple took its existing iPod lineup and cranked out a series of significant improvements to change the game this winter. The first major update is the Nano's obvious video features and ability to play games. The second is a totally revised new user interface the Nano shares with the updated new iPod Classic. The third its its new physical form factor. That's not to say there are no flaws, odd feature omissions, limitations, or bugs. Here's a look at how the three categories of new Nano features stack up.

iPod Video Features

Back before the 5G iPod was released, everyone clamored for video playback but Apple seemed to suggest that it wasn't really that compelling of a feature. The closest one could get to iPod video playback was to flip through photos. The speed of the 4G iPod Photo in flipping through pictures suggested that real video couldn't be too far behind.

Sure enough, when video playback arrived in the 5G iPods, Apple heralded it as the new thing to have and opened up the beginning of video sales in the iTunes Store. However, the small size of the iPod's display left critics to jeer that a 2.5" screen wasn't worth squinting at. It's certainly not a cinematic experience, but for watching TV, home movies, or even ripped DVDs, the video iPods are practical for some purposes. Held at a normal reading level, the screen is as large as a regular TV set sitting across the room. It's great for catching up on a game, watching podcasts, or even watching movies during a flight.

The introduction of 5G iPod games also enlivened the iPod experience, with some being very difficult to put down. None of the iPod games were anything that might seriously worry Nintendo's DS, the current leader in handheld video games. However, for iPod users the games are an great way to kill a few moments on the train or in a waiting room. How well do videos and games work on the Nano's slightly smaller version of the standard 320 x 240 screen?

Nano Video Display

The Nano's ultra-high density 2" screen--with 204 pixels per inch--is bright and sharp, even at its default 50% brightness setting. For comparison, the iPhone's screen is 160 pixels per inch. The iPhone and iPod Touch both offer a nicer video experience with their much larger screens and double-tall 480 x 320 resolution, but the Nano does respectable video, offers a tiny version of Coverflow, and plays games, too.

The 0.5" size difference between the Nano and the earlier video playing iPods is really hard to notice; if you think the iPod's video was acceptable, you likely will find the Nano's video equally decent. If you've grown accustomed to the iPhone's display, or think the iPod is a silly way to watch TV, then the Nano obviously isn't going to do it for you. However, the Nano also does some things the iPhone does not yet, including games.

The Nano's Coverflow has a slightly slower acceleration effect than the iPhone's; with a large library of music, I could spin into grey placeholder cards for a second before the album art was loaded. I couldn't see any lag or hesitation though, and once loaded, flicking back and forth through album art is instantaneous. Clicking on an album brings up a listing of songs that can be selected, in a manner very similar to the iPhone. Of course, there's no finger flicking touchscreen satisfaction because the Nano is driven entirely by its clickwheel. It does feel natural and easy to use though, despite being spoiled by the iPhone experience over the last two months.

Third-gen iPod nano


In addition to the built-in screen, the new 3G Nano also connects to a standard TV using component cables or S-Video using the existing iPod video dock. That's another thing the iPhone can't yet do. When placed in a video dock, it simply complains that the device isn't supported. It appears that issue will be fixed on the iPhone soon, because Apple lists its iPod video cables as supporting the Touch. Until that software upgrade is rolled out, the new video Nano can act as a portable, standard definition composite video version of the Apple TV.

Besides the usual iPod Video settings that offer to direct video playback through the dock to a connected TV, the Nano also offers to adjust video output to fullscreen mode (getting rid of letterboxing bars to present a blown up view of the middle of the screen), and has a setting for turning on closed captions. That apparently would only work on iTunes purchased content that specifically supports captions. None of the content I've downloaded supports captions, and there is no standard way to add captions to video, so perhaps Apple will be announcing new accessibility features to its iTunes content in the future.
