1) What is the screen glare like? 2) Can you remove the battery? 3) Does it have the brick kind of power adapter?

Hi, I purchased this for my daughter and I haven't used it. However, she said there is very little glare. It does come with the brick and removable battery

Screen Glare is "normal" - I haven't noticed anything unusual about it (good or bad). You can remove the battery. It has a standard power adapter with the "brick" in the middle. Its a no frills mid-range laptop.

The monitor does have a lot of glare. While it rarely creates an inconvenience to me, when it does I just close a blind or curtain.

The screen is glossy, however it's also ridiculously bright, so for most applications the lack of anti-glare is a non-issue. I haven't tested it outdoors, but I imagine that would be the one area you might have a problem.

Mine has an anti glare screen but in more intense settings say florescent or extreme sun say outside a coffee shop in the sun it has glare issues. Not really sure that you can get much better though considering.

Yes it does...the laptop is great. The glare from the screen gets annoying at times though!

The HP netbooks that have matte screens unfortunately have a wide glossy frame around the display, which defeats the purpose -- it's like a reflective mirror around the display and can be equally distracting. I have an Asus netbook with the same problem -- though the frame is not as shiny. The HP was so bad however, I had to return it. I'm glad to see many others share this concern, maybe the manufacturers will start listening??

The actual display area is not glossy and does not have a mirror-like finish, so glare is not as bad as it would be on, say, an old style CRT. However, if you have a lot of light behind you, it can show on parts of the display that are dark, though it is much less noticeable on bright areas. Overall I'd say it does very well at dealing with glare.

It is a little glossy but the screen is easy to see and read. I haven't had it outside in daylight so not sure what it is like there. I like it better than the screen the compaq came with , which was broken due to carelessness.I am happy with it,,, it is quite bright.very distinct images.

I haven't noticed any glare with mine; It looks exactly like the computer screen itself, can't even tell I have a screen protector on.

yes the screen is gloosy............ problem? depends on what is in the background or if you want to use it in the sun.

Yes. That is what I have. I had more than a little trouble getting the screen to be lint free before installing .... and the air bubbles drove me crazy. After only a few hours I yanked it off and chalked it up to experience. I should have gotten the anti-glare screen in the first place.

I have a screen protector on it, but it is non glare from what I can see. Hope this helps.

I agree with I.Peter, I took a look at the B630 at my local Electronics Expo which was opposite a front window and I really didn't notice an issue with glare. My local best buy didn't have a B640 and with no windows and very high lights I'm not sure I would have noticed the glare.I did notice that Expo was lower on price and when I ready I'll see what they can do.

Well, you can't have it both...Either it is hd or anti glare. I opted for anti glare because it is easier to read the screen in the sun but you lose some of the hd. Hope this helped.

The battery life really depends on your screens brightness and what your doing on the internet. Watching videos or downloading things will drain the battery more then just posting on facebook or doing research. As for the keyboard, no it doesn't have a backlight which, to me, is the only thing I see wrong with it besides the touch pad. Not sure if its just mine but my touch pad doesn't work properly. Other then that, its a great laptop, im completely satisfied with it.

Answer here...Anti glare I believe. Please read through comments. This situation gets worse. I believe the seller through Amazon,Legendary Juny, sold us a used unfunctional computer. It was said it was purchased on July 4, 2013. There were entries made on July 13, 2013. We didn't get it until July 29, 2013, although we paid for it on July 8, 2013. HP refuses to replace the machine. They say it isn't there fault. Legendary says we did something to it! Isn't this just all awful. I have been trying to be reasonable in bad circumstances and the responsible parties are passing the buck. We could have just demanded our money back! This legendary person doesn't stand behind there sales! Amazon doesn't either and HP doesn't want to get stuck holding the bag is how we are seeing it. I will never buy much of value from Amazon again. The computer costs us $ 911.48. Buyers Beware! Unhappy customers
