It wasn't more than a couple of years ago that a notebook such as the HP Pavilion ze4335us was considered high-end. Today, however, notebooks of this caliber are viewed as entry-level units, best suited to those who use a portable computer for relatively straightforward tasks such as word processing, email correspondence, personal finances and contact management. The good news comes on two fronts: Firstly, if you're accustomed to the speed and capabilities of your ten-year-old notebook, the Pavilion ze4335us will best it in every respect. Secondly, the price point is perfect for those who need to pinch their pennies.
