It's 2023 and my 4540s still standing strong for everyday tasks. Took out cd/dvd burner/reader and added ssd to existing HDD, added 4 more gb ram. WIFI card stopped working, use external adapter. Everything else still works great.

Hey guys!
It's 2022 already and I still use this laptop  ;D

Got this one with i5 processor, 8gb ram and 512 ssd. So far my best notebook and i pretty happy with it. I must mention that i never use it unplugged and never used its keyboard as i always have my favourite full keyboard. This one was worth every penny. BTW, it was serviced once....noisy cooler.

Hi
Can I cheng monitor 4540 to led full HD ?

Which disply I chose for my laptop.?

Thanks

According to the price this Laptop is one of the best laptop i've ever used. I bought it 1.5 years back till now it's just running fine without any hardware trouble at all. At that time with this budget it was a very cool laptop. The fingerprint reader just working fine. By far this is a very good laptop as a desktop replacement. I am using windows 8 and till now I've got more or less every driver updates from HP. Faced problem with the connectify app but HP has their own wifi hotspot making soft. Till now I am getting 2-2.30 hours battery backup. Generates more heat than other branded laptops. I would definitely recommend to anyone to purchase this laptop. :) :) :)

finger print reader missing from my 4540s only a lid is placed on the reader position
, also cant find bluetooth driver on windows 8.1 operating system . all the drivers i am getting from hp.com are not working

Didn't even notice the fan noise until i read this article. Other than that everything works superb.

I was just given this laptop at work and I absolutely hate it with passion.

Is big, is heavy, is bulky.

In order to keep the keyboard centered in your hands, you have to move the laptop towards the right (or left, if you are left handed). But then is not centered within your field of vision. And if you center the screen so that the webcam is pointing straight at your face, then you'll  have to slide your hands towards your left side. If you need to type a lot, that's very uncomfortable!

The earphones and microphone ports are at the front of the laptop, again, very awkward position, and gets in the way when you are typing.

Finally, the think pad is a nightmare. The laptop is so poorly designed that your hand will keep brushing on the pad so the cursor will move all over the place when you are typing. Then to make matters worse, I could no disable the touch pad because the computer came with no drivers for it!!! I had to find the drivers myself and install them just so I could disable the **** thing.

Worst laptop ever. Hate it hate it hate it.

I Can't find the driver for universal serial bus controller for that model,
Can you help me?

Got this laptop recently. For this price you can get something decent. NOT RECOMMENDED
