Customer Reviews of HP XB 2000 Notebook Expansion
Pricey But High Quality I got one because of a bad power jack. It seems that when you keep plugging in into the jack - eventually the jack goes bad - sometimes the repair folks want to replace the entire motherboard - well this item as well as the HP Media cable - will solve the problem because it powers the computer thru a separate slot !! <
>Now my computer works like its new. The raising of screen to eye level is a nice feature to have. The unit is a bit heavy though. <
>I just wish people knew about power jack problems and disconnect ac power at the ac adapter(unplug ac cord ) instead of at the computer.It is pricey - but to me well worth it! PS - a tip - If you use a notebook cooler(Notepal by Coolermaster ) under the notebook - it will fit in the <
>expansion base and raise it - so you don't have to use a wireless mouse, necessarily. You will be able to use the touchpad(otherwise - the touchpad is partly covered by the base ) - cool!!
I'm an idiot for buying this thing
Pros:
<
>1. Matches my HP laptop computer perfectly.
<
>2. People think it looks cool.
<
>3. 250 GB internal HDD is huge!
<
>
<
>Cons:
<
>1. Dorky connector plugs into the side of the laptop, and looks wrong.
<
>2. The speakers suck. Not much better than the microscopic ones on my laptop.
<
>3. Can't add a larger monitor, which sucks cause my notebook only has a 14"er.
<
>4. Hard drive is made exclusively for this expansion base, and can't be used with anything else. It would be nice to just have an external drive, cause lugging this mammoth around is totally impractical.
<
>5. The included wireless mouse and keyboard kinda suck. The buttons are not firm; it's like the whole thing wobbles and bounces as you type.
<
>6. Since installing a Logitech wireless mouse and keyboard (left my HP ones in a hotel), I have to re-set the mouse sensitivity every time I dock/undock the laptop from the expansion base. Many peripherals do not support being used with an expansion base.
<
>7. When my ethernet is hooked to my laptop, it will not work when I dock the laptop to the expansion base. I have to unplug the ethernet from the laptop and connect it into the expansion base to work. This is for DSL BTW.
<
>8. It was $500! Way too expensive... I should have just bought an external 250GB HDD, a stand, a wireless mouse and keyboard for much less.
Cumbersome
This base station is a waste of money. It's just too cumbersome to hook up the laptop, especially if you want to use an external monitor, for example. I'm sure I'll forget to unplug the monitor from the laptop (yes, laptop - it's not connected to the base!) and destroy the laptop or the monitor in the process.

>This gizmo weighs a ton - I assume it's the speakers!? The design of this thing makes it close to unusable.
