I bought 2 HP laptops and have had nothing but trouble. 1 laptop had to go back to the shop three times: once because the bracket connecting the screen to the keyboard broke, once because the hard drive was defective and once because the sound card was defective. from Amazon.com Oh well. She definitely has an advantage with this model. I'm an IT and I was already a fan of HP so to see her smile and be excited was enough for me to be pleased with another product that they released. Definitely a great bargain. from Amazon.com I have had my HP Pavilion dv1260us for 7 months now. At first, I was totally jazzed by the unit - a great 17" screen, which I love, along with many other great features. from Amazon.com This notebook is amazing. It's worth every single cent! from Amazon.com I bought a refurbished dv7-1129wm with Windows Vista Home Premium from from Amazon.com 1. Dont buy this if you want a notebook that you want to carry around. Its heavy. from Amazon.com Laptop was received with a broken ethernet port. HP would not service my laptop due to "customer related damage" which it was obviously not. There is a reason they are dead last in all customer service polls. from Amazon.com Dislikes: Have to rely on HP drivers for Graphics Card (my blu ray stop working when i upgraded to nVidia's unified driver) from Amazon.com Pros: The laptop has a large screen at 17" and no dead pixels. Fast processor allows multiple applications to go on at the same time, but has a slight slowdown when trying to use alot of CPU power. from Newegg.com I am editing my original review because it offended some HP sympathizers and I want to be as clear as I possibly can. My review here is based on my experience with my HP Product an Elite model PC. from Amazon.com
