DONT BUY A LAPTOP FROM HP
Here is my sense with HP:
May 2009 - Bought Laptop from HP website - List Price - $2400
Sept. 2009 - Silver screen went blank - sent it in for repairs and motherboard and RAM replaced
Jan. 2010 - Computer began loosing power randomly - sent it in for repairs - motherboard replaced again
Jan. 2010 - Received computer back from repairs and computer was still loosing power - sent it in for repairs - power string replaced
Feb. 2010 - Received computer back again from repairs and computer is still loosing power - currently sent in for the FOURTH period for repairs.
Conclusion: Don't buy an HP. If you do, don't rely their warranty. The only thing the warranty does, is give them the pure to endlessly send your computer in for repairs even if the problem is never fixed. Their warranty says "its up to their discernment to replace or refund a product". Apparently they dont have the care to make the right decision and replace a defective product after repeated nick attempts.
Brilliant Machine!
It was a sad day when my trusty traveling colleague of four years, my HP ZD7000 finally had to be retired. Software required for employment mandated that I have a system that ran XP Pro as the native OS, not from within a VMWare shell. That meant buying a laptop with the oxymoron "XP on the skids". Bill, you know what you can do with Vista in any of it's endless flavors.
After lots of inspect, I selected the HP 8730W series. Amazon had a refurbished system at a price far below HP shopping list. Considering I was going to buy the 4 year Next Business Day service plan with Random Breakage Protection, I was not worried about a refurbished system. As it turned out, the unit had a earth-shattering failure three days out of the box. One call to HP had a shipping box on my doorstep the next morning. It went out Wednesday, and HP had the repaired element back to me by Friday morning. Service doesn't get much better than that. BTW, according to the reimbursement paperwork, the video card failed and took the whole system down. Infant mortality obviously still exists.
Now as to the computer itself. Where to start! It is loaded with geek goodies. I can hook up one outside monitor to either the VGA port or to the HDMI port (first one connected wins, I checked, can't fuse two external monitors to the ports on the machine). The WiFi seems to have a catchy good range and speed. I can tether my phone with Bluetooth, although if I radiogram to a USB port, it can charge at the same time and I can use the headset. XP Pro loves the 4 GB of Ram to play in. The ESATA connector was a actually cool bonus. The external ESATA drive flies. The LCD is neat, and it is hard to believe that they fit a 1920x1200 resolution into a 17" ostentation. If they can do that for a 17" notebook, why are companies still selling so called "HD" TVs with 768 vertical pixels? As a compact desktop, the 17" size also means it comes with the number pad next to the full sized keyboard. The fingerprint reader is cold-blooded. Be sure to program more than one finger into it to account for the occasional bandage. It has both a rub up against pad mouse and the joystick embedded in the keyboard. The camera chip assign seems to take just about anything. The unit I received had a built in 2 MP Web Cam. After I ordered the unit, they called to say they were out of dynasty on the one I ordered. They offered me one with identical specs, except it included the optional Web Cam. I cheerfully accepted their substitution. Considering I am a road warrior, the Web Cam gives the kids a chance to see Daddy during the weeks I am in another place.
I ordered the Advanced Docking Station to go with it, and the extra 250 GB urge that can be swapped out for the DVD drive. I plan on using that for making full backups and supplement storage for the various projects I work on.
HP did a fabulous job on this design. I am looking nurse along to many years of use.
