HP Pavilion dv7-1025nr Laptop

Great desktop replacement for the money and should last several years, plus after around 1.5-2 years you can upgrade the ram to 8GBs to extend the life of the notebook.

HP support system is a joke, tried 6 times to connect to their online tech but couldnt, one thing the online sale manager was working LOL what a joke. Next one will be a sony or Toshiba, in fact i dont know why i changed nrand oh well.....

HP, in my opinion, is using fraudulent practices to sell their computers. They told us Best Buy ordered this laptop without the tuner. If that is the case, then the model # should not be the same. Another local store customizes their laptiops often but HP sells them under different model #'s to avoid this problem. My opinion, same model # should be same product in store, as on HPs site. We spent 1 hour on call waiting and 1 hour arguing and was told tough and we're wasting our time. They will NOT do anything. They told us we should have researched it on Best Buys website as that said the tuner was not included. Maybe they should make that disclaimer on their own website "Items are not as they appear. Research at third party web-site as we only tell you what we want you to know"

A customer shouldn't have to go line by line to make sure the model # they buy in the store has everything the same model # has on HPs website. Best Buy offered an external tuner at 1/2 price because even their salesman looked up the specs on HPs site and told us it had a tuner.

Vista 64 is a nightmare so far. I have yet to have an hour without complications in programs, network or anything I used to have on my old computer. I knew Vista was trouble going in though so I was prepared for that. I never expected the get rolled by HP though. What a shame. I was a loyal customer and even planned on trading in my Palm for their Ipaq. Now that i understand what kind of company they are I will stay far away.

Buyer beware. Make the sales rep go line by line and open your box in store to make sure it matches. Do NOT trust this company will give you what they advertise. Do NOT go by model #'s as they mean nothing either. Better yet, find another brand. If I can't trust them on this, heaven help me if I ever need anything from them in the future.

I purchased a Pavillion dv9628nr from Best Buy last November, big mistake. Really, big mistake. I have been having nothing but trouble with the video card and motherboard. I've sent it back to HP on three occasions now, each time the hard drive was wiped and it was shipped back to me. Like I don't have the knowledge of twenty five plus years of computing to do it myself. It'll run fine for about a month and then I start getting blue screens in Vista! I've also checked the error log files and to my astonishment the blue screens are an accumulation of monthly errors totaling over one thousand less serious errors, per month. I guess after the error's accumulate to the point that Vista can't handle them any more it gives up. The heat build up under the keyboard on my dining room table has also discolored the finish of the table. It also get's so hot I can't keep this thing on my lap. I never have been entertained by this laptop, video performance is poor, even though it came with an HDTV tuner card, it couldn't find a signal if it's life was threatened with being drowned in a bathtub. Other than casual games from the web or the ones you see at the store that are buy one get five free, that are written for Windows 98 and before, roflmao. Ok, enough whining, I finally got HP to admit there's a problem and they will be sending me one of these as a replacement. Hopefully I won't be having these same problems. So it'll be a wait and see on my part.
