| A good desktop-replacement laptop. Sturdy and heavy. Seems working just fine. Wish the sound volume could be a bit higher. A solution may be to use external speakers. |

Got it on sale with a rebate and a FREE HP printer (FREE with rebate), good buy for the product and price.
Heavy (to be expected from a 17" display) and also shorter than stated battery life, but as a Pro Photographer I needed the large display and am heavy on power usage, but for the value given I am very happy with the laptop. |
Realy Good Laptop

| I bought this computer for $531 with tax on clearance at walmart,it was the last one they had. The price almost as good on this site. I love this computer,it has enough harddrive for 30,000+ mp3 with 150gb to spare. The wide screen looks huge when use it on your lap,the video is clear and the colors rich. I did not have any trouble setting it up,it did 90% by it's self. The Windows 7 is very easy to use,much better than Vista. The black and silver color combinanation looks great. The speakers are very good,the sound is clear and loud enough to enjoy. |

PAID way too much for this headache. HP told us pay $400+ for repair. Labeled our problem customer damaged although they did admit no signs of external abuse shown.
Almost a few days after I got my laptop it showed a few dead pixels. We procrastinated in taking it in. Now it got so bad we decided to send it in since we owned it less than a year (got it nov. 2009 sent in March 2009). It has always just sat on my computer desk and almost never even closed it. They said it had an internal crack inside the screen glass and it was leaking and we would have to pay over $400 to repair. They claimed it was our fault, but this after the tech admitted there was no signs of external damage anywhere.
He said it would get worse, and sure enough as soon as it came back from their shop I now have twice the dead pixels I had before. I can't even see the right hand lower tool box anymore. I paid over $700 for this and although I have no problems with the performance (ASIDE from needing EXTERNAL SPEAKERS due to unaudible volume) ...their warranty was useless to me if they were going to reject any responsibility. I do however blame myself for not returning it as soon as I saw the first fleck of defective evidence....shame on me! don't wait take it BACK! |

| This notebook is great. I really love all the features. The only thing is that the speakers are not great. When the volume is up all the way they sound like they are blown out. Overall I am very satisfied. |
