I've only had this notebook for 2 months but I love it more every day. It's about my 20th laptop/notebook, and I still currently own & use five others. from Amazon.com I know the fan can run faster, as it did when I did a BIOS update. However, for some reason, the fan speed never increases, regardless of how hot the computer gets. Seems stupid to have the capability and not use it. - The touch controls are very temperamental. from Amazon.com 4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value, yet is definately worth the extra money compared to the HP DV7, June 22, 2009 from Amazon.com For those who are looking for a desktop replacement, this is a very good, with a good value notebook. The downside is actually it`s size, that`s not very practical. from Amazon.com The case felt cheap and it did not play well with Windows 7, so I sold it to a friend on April 21, 2009. Today (September 08, 2009) I get a call and she tells me the laptop is not turning on. After looking on the Internet for "HP Laptop won't turn on" I find that this is a very common issue with HP laptops. So her laptop is dead (I suspect the motherboard) and now we have to see how to get it fixed by HP, whose customer support is below mediocre. from Amazon.com But that's something you can work around. Comes with lots of software. We bought the machine for our daughter going to college and like it so much that we plan on buying the 18" version for ourselves. We particularly like the bluetooth connectivity. 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 I purchased the HDX 1140-US for my son. This machine is beautifully constructed, and functions incredibly well. from Amazon.com I had an IBM Thinkpad for several years and moved up to this HP. It is fast, nice and has everything you could want but the shiny highly reflective screen is not a good thing. from Amazon.com i had it for one day and inmediately sold it for a hundred dollars less, still i think that's better! I got an alienware instead, of course for doble the price but i already learned the lesson, If it's cheap it's not a bargain, it's probably not so good! Besides HP is a company that is all about ads! You know what comercials do in people's mind, believe me, this machines are not worthy! from Amazon.com
