Battery is useless !Electrical connections are suspect when running off mains after about two years. If the battery is dead then it does not want to run on mains sometimes!
I like the machine and it has given me a lot of exceptional service over the period I have had it.

I need to get a new laptop, the Packard Bell iPower 5000 is not worth the money anymore as its competitors have a much better battery life.
Infact the only good point for me is that is has good graphics.

I am very happy with this laptop, performance when I got it was far higher than anything else for the same price, and even now it still gives a good fight whenever it needs to.

I bought one of these secondhand, and I found it to be a very good processing machine. but I am worried about its battery. I think it's gone.

All users of the Packard Bell iPower 5000 series notebook laptop computers should be aware of what appears to be an inherent fault on the motherboard. After a few years, or maybe sooner, the bottom of the laptop will overheat causing possible battery failure, and graphics card failure. The only reco ...

I bought my Packard Bell iPower 5000 laptop in June 2003 and I paid 1199 for it. Since then (it is now Mar 2004) it is still available, but for around 800, depending on where you shop. I thought it was a good deal then because the likes of Tosh and Sony were selling machines without CDRWs, no memo ...

For what I paid, I got a deal. As many of the other laptop brands were offering lower spec machines at a much higher price. I pretty much bought it as a desktop replacement, which was a good thing because It really is not a very portable laptop. It very stylish silver, which I think is the new bla ...
