I would NOT buy a HP Laptop again. When i first ordered my DV7TQE last july, i had to return back 2 laptops before they shipped me a laptop without a big gap between the casing in the upper left corner of the laptop.

Also each laptop had something under the finish of the touchpad, so every so often i would feel this bump under my finger, it was very annoying.

The laptop i currently have has a touchpad light that has a short in it, when i turn off the touchpad the light turns orange but depending how much pressure i put on the palm rest the regular touchpad light flickers on and off.

The Blu-Ray Super Multi Burner has never been able to burn a dvd and is a complete dud. I've finally gotten around to call hp to replace it, but i've been on the phone in total with tech support for over 6 hours for the past week. I have over 400 days on my warranty still including accidental damage and you still have to go through every process they have before they ship you a replacement.

The bezel in the lower left hand corner where the screw is located at is broken. I'm not sure how that happens since my laptop sits on my desk all day.

A thin piece of plastic that makes part of the grille of the front speakers is also broken.

Every HP product I have purchased has been low quality and i think this is the end of the road for me with HP.

Never again. At least, not consumer level.

Just have had way too many problems with random things that shouldn't be issues at all.

Yes, I would definitely buy another HP. My 5+ year old HP Compaq nw8440 has been an excellent laptop after all these years of near-daily use. Only problems that occurred were: A faulty optical drive, several power adapters, and the screen. Now, I did have many other parts replaced on the laptop (keyboard, motherboard, bottom casing), but they were my fault (I got a little too curious with how my laptop was built, let's just put it that way ).

I will say that the casing does tend to crack around the back right corner on my nw8440, but HP appears to have addressed that issue with their newer EliteBooks. And the internal temperatures do get quite hot if I don't shoot compressed air into the vents every few months or so. This may not seem ideal, but hey, my nw8440 is still kickin' after all these years!

I generally have good luck with HP products all around, and my nw8440 is no exception.

(For those of you who don't know, the nw8440 was replaced by the 8510w, then by the 8530w, then by the 8540w, then by the current 8560w. The nw8440 is the workstation version of the nc8430)

I have a 2740p in front of me that had been dropped and at 16:45 I called support to log the call as I previously purchased an ADP (Accidental damage protection) warranty. During the call the tech guy sent an e-mail and a few minutes later I e-mailed pictures of the damage.

At 17:05 the same tech agent called back to state that an engineer would visit the site within the next 24 hours. Done.

Would I buy another HP? You bet I would as that was EXCELLENT service.

I'm on my sixth (not counting printers). I've had 3 PCs (two still working, one as a Media Center), and now, 3 HP laptops. The first laptop was a dv6000 entertainment laptop, and is still working great. The latest in my possession is a dv6t select, which is going to my daughter. I've got an Envy 17 3D on order too. I can't say they're the best thing going, but I've had overall good experiences so far.

[robarino]

ABSOLUTELY!

All laptops are a crapshoot. On the Dell page you see the same post with identical responses. Same with Acer (well maybe worse responses). I have had many bad laptops from different makers but my HPs have been mostly good. My DV7 was 1/2 the price of a comparable machine here in Sweden. I love the HD screen and it performs well.

Another thing is HP employs 50,000 Americans and maybe 20,000 Europeans...a lot of them engineers. I am a sucker for companies that keep good jobs in the western hemisphere.

Strangely I bought a Lenovo after hearing how great they were and it was the WORST, bar none, laptop I have ever owned. NEVER again.

I'm sick and tired with ALL computers.
HP, Acer, Lonovo, Dell and Alienware,,,,,had them all, had enough of them all.
I will only buy a business class work station with an exchangeable video card.

HP is now off my list of preferred notebook vendors. I had terrible experiences with mine that were made worse because I convinced my GF to buy the same notebook at the time. We saved money but had nothing but problems for 2 years.

I'm on my second HP notebook and would not hesitate to purchase HP again.
