This thing isnt worth a $1

I have had this for 13 months and when I got it, it was great. I was so excited since my IBM Thinkpad died. By the way, that was the best laptop I have ever had. Anyways, I just ran out of warranty and when I called, hp tried to charge me $49.99 just to talk me through a few steps, I did not pay and threw a fit, but they told me that the motherboard was fried. Well, now what do I do. I figured it was because how hot it got that its fried it. Well then I looked at my power cord b/c it wouldn't charge and it has a burn through it. So not only is my motherboard shot, so is my power cord.. It's a piece of S****....I know its cheaper then others, but please people get a Dell or an IBM...They are great companies and they WILL help you...
Not worth the money.

I must say that initially I was very excited getting this computer. After a month of owning it there were already problems with Vista and from there on it only got worse. I have had it for only 13 months and the computer is complete, non-working, non-usable piece of scrap. I am thoroughly disappointed with HP and its performance. I will not buy anything HP again! Too bad they don't care...
MB is a common and expensive problem

Our company owner had one for just over a year (barely out of warranty of course) and the motherboard went out. In doing research, many people believe this is related to how hot the machine runs (a cooling design flaw). Couple that with a $400 MINIMUM price tag for the repair (in looking on ebay there were several other units for sale that had blown motherboards) and we've opted to just spend the next $1200 on a Dell that at least comes with a better warranty. There were non-stop touchscreen and FPS issues throughout the first year that meant that 25% of the owned time was spent in repair.
Unless you plan on using it for VERY short periods of time, keeping it 100% blown clean and only in chilly offices...we wouldn't recommend. Or if you only desire to have it for a year...that seems to be the life cycle of the motherboard.
Junk

I wouldn't buy anything HP. My presario notebook only 20 months old and rarely used needs a new motherboard. HP is junk.
