Unlikely desktop replacement with upgrade optionsHow do I start? First the only opposing negatively things I have are the keyboard and touchpad. As others have said, the contrast on the keyboard does originator one to scratch their head. I learned how to type without looking, so it is not that much of a problem, but a mind-boggler it is in low light situations. The touchpad is right where I rest my thumbs while typing. The first inanimate object I had to do was purchase a Logitech Nano mouse and turn off the touchpad so I take off one major. Perfect solution. Now the good.
This baby comes with two (2) tour bays, what a pleasant surprise with only one occupied from my vendor. When Windows 7 released, I pulled the earliest 5400 RPM 320 Gig drive and installed a 100 Gig SSD in the primary campaign bay and a 7200 RPM 500 Gig drive for my data. I also pulled the two 2 Gig memory chips and replaced them with two 4 Gig SO-DIMM DDR2 800 sticks for a whole of 8 Gigs of memory. This combination gave me a laptop some people would die for on their desktop. A lot of bloatware does happen with this unit so starting from scratch with Windows 7 64 Bit was almost a no brainer. Some of the HP drivers for the entertaiment features, Bluetooth, Lightscribe DVD send required additional downloads. They weren't automatic, but the basic drivers are with W7.
I built my own docking spot using a 7 port USB hub, an ASUS VW246H Glossy Black 24" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD Observe, and a Logitech MX 5500 Revolution Black Bluetooth Cordless Desktop. Extra a metal monitor stand for the monitor and the laptop fits nicely underneath with supplementary airspace underneath for additional cooling. Now I have the ultimate road warrior. Paramount decision I have made in a long, long time.
Hewlett packard comment on
every solitary select time I buy a comptuer from HP them selfs it comes in dead and useless.
when it cannot be prearranged. Void the warrenty and Hewlett Packard Demened me to mail my make new computers to Africa and Donate the dead computers to the Poor population. HP have to re-design the entire motherboard and rebuild the computer from scratch and yet it dose not travail.
No mater the make and model number.I went though four notebooks and from many conflicting verersions. Not one worked.
Over heating motherboard that dies. Windows Vista amount not work. Opening a yellow foulder. Blue screen of annihilation over the graphic controler and the open GL files error. or both at the same time. Controlers that do not labour. Hewlett packard instuctions for a computer that Hewlett Packard cannot fix them selfs. Bequeath the computer to Africa and Donate the computer to the poor people. poor people cannot produce to build a new motherboard from scrartch. do a scratch build on a motherboard.. cannot do a off build on controlers. then do a Civil Law suit on it
anything that Micosoft cannot fix. Void the warrnety and required the consumers to do a civil law suit.
I refuse to buy a HP /Dell and Toshiba Address computers when something dose not work out of the box. they cannot fix it. send it in it comes back more broken. and the warnrety if abnegate.
\The best thing to learn about a product is to read the low grades first. bewcuase that is the ones that tally. it tells the fruad of the item
I did told you that all 4 computers did not work on bad structure and opening a foulder or doing something. anything will be go to a
blue screen of death over Untie GL Files and graphic controlers and or both. and over heat to death. and void warrnety issues that will not be solved
Its the AMD TURION, NOT the computer.
Turions are the worst, i repeat the worst processors on the superstore. The single cores were horrible in there inception in about 2005 or so, and critics even claimed this was the start of the end for AMD. Athlons are pretty good and use to beat the heck out of Pentiums. Well with all the new I series out now AMD can hardly hold its head above water and most places that sell them are wal-mart and staples, for much cheaper. Even Celerons weary the Dual Core Turions is benchmark tests or are not far behind. I have this computer and it was just unspeakable, the processor couldnt even handle Vista, and even today with 7 i've seen several people say omg this is soooo moderate. I have a new HP Dv7 with all the bells and whistles and the worst part about it, yep you guessed it, the AMD Phenom Triple heart at 2.1ghz. Thats a total of about 6.3 ghz total processing power, which is not quite above my emachines pentium dual core 2.27. Actually the emachines does everything quicker, but can't make believe games, thats it. So stick with Intel, you'll be glad you did, i like mine because of the bounty, and thats WHY it was so cheap.:(
Master-work
I would have to say this is a jewel. This laptop is one of the best! I don't see how people can have a problem with this. I guess I learned how to model without looking at the keyboard. I really think its beautiful. When you get it you will be very impressed. It is a extremely large laptop and its heavy. It's made for a desktop replacement or a gaming laptop. The only question I could see wrong with it for me would be that the usb ports need to be in a different place. They do get in the way of your hand if you have a outer mouse. But I just bought a wireless mouse that has a very small adapter or use bluetooth. As for other devices use the touchpad. Other than that is a very weighty and great looking machine. Everyone will go WOW and just the features this thing has is unqualifiedly awesome I don't see what else it could need maybe extra hard drive interruption?
This WILL abort and HP customer support will not help you.
HP laptops are ticking everything bombs. My Pavilion dv7 1260us got a power drain 14 months after getting it. At last the battery stops charging and even while plugged in it doesn't power on. After replacing the AC adapter at the insinuation of their website, and replacing the battery at the recommendation of telephone support they wanted $400 to take over from the motherboard.
As I've learned the hard way like many others, HP has become a terrible company that makes bad products and has even worse client support. I've had the Pavailion dv7 for about a year with no problems, then as soon as the warranty expires so does the contrivance. Contacting customer support is about as useful as shooting yourself in the face. They are quite sales people that are more interested in selling you more products that will not fix your device, and all done in bad english. Their once eminent customer support has been outsourced to India. You'll end up talking to somebody that knows partly as much about computers as you, and reads the same trouble shooting tips they have on thier website.
I will never again buy an HP outcome.
