Affordable Excellence [Posted on 2008-02-15] I have had this laptop for over a week now and so far I am very pleased with it. I use it with OneNote and it allows me to take notes in class. The handwriting recognition software does a pretty good job at recognizing my writing. It makes a few mistakes, but it suggest alternatives when it does and usually you can tap on one of the alternatives and you are good to go.
The screen is 100% Scratch Proof but not the CASE [Posted on 2008-02-25] I am regretting buying this product.
My laptop has a lot of scratch on the screen frame and the case for my 2nd month of using.
HP Designer should use there common sense that laptop are mobilized device that people use to bring anywhere and they should focus on the durability of this device.
Never buy any shiny products from HP if you hate scratches.
I am wondering if there is a way I could refund or exchange my product after buying my laptop last November 2007.
Not good for customised application [Posted on 2008-03-03] I bought this notebook in replacement of my Dell Inspiron 14.1 inch which is working absolutely fine.
In this notebook I have a 250GB of hard disk. I want to partition the hard drive as per my requirement. Upon talking to HP customer care they said you are not given an option to re partition the har drive. The operation system and driver CD they provide does the partitioning automatically. So I would never suggest this laptop (any HP laptop) for people who wants to customise their notebook.
No help [Posted on 2008-03-10] Problem- POST not recognizing memory on start-up. Computer-Pavilion still under warranty was shipped to Texas, Irving repair facility free of charge. When it was recieved back, after 45 min use stopped recognizing memory again with the same sound on start up. The paper work indicated that memory chip DDR2 PC4200 was replaced. After 3 hours with Indian technician on the phone and pulling out memory chips one by one, the defective chip was found and pulled out. The promise from the tecnician and his supervisor was given that replacement memory chip would be sent out to me. 3 days later trying to find out the status of the order case # 800892**** information from another supervisor was given that nobody is going to send me a replacement chip because it's outdated and (or) that is not in their power. After attempt to find out the name of the person we were speaking to, the phone call was disconnected.
Original order # ***056-01.
During the conversation I was explaned that for the reason of me buying outdated computer I will not get any repairs done by HP (unavaliability of parts) and I better to pay for additional waranty, so I at least will get their advice.
This is the last HP product that I bought.
Regretfully, formerly proud owner of Packard Bell and Compaq, asking forgivness for assumption that the product under the warranty should be fixed by manufacturer.
Not so great [Posted on 2008-05-09] This computer has the problems of battery life, and a weird screen look, which have been mentioned and explained elsewhere.
Pros: The color depth on the screen is nice. The size and form are great. The overall features are good. Wifi and bluetooth work well.
Cons: None of this stuff works like it is supposed to. The fingerprint reader software is clunky and slow. Vista is garbage. The computer runs incredibly slow, and hot. The machine is incredibly prone to crashing. It might not give you a blue screen, but expect programs to crash consistently. Tech support will dissapoint you.
I bought this because it was cheap and full of features. It fit my size/price factors for a school laptop. With the dual core processor and 2GB ram I thought i'd get the bonus of a powerful machine too. I was wrong this thing is slooooooowwwww.
My 5yrs old dell with a p4 and 512mb ram will do more than this thing will. It also performed better than this computer in 3Dmark testing.
