This computer sucks.I have bought one in sept 2010 and it started having windows error as soon as I turned it on.I was fortunate enough to get to exchange it for a brand new one when it crashed a few weeks later. It is october a little bit over a month after buying this comp and exchanging it for a brand new one that its happening again. Turned on the new comp and immediately it goes to black screen and starts all over then goes to windows error. I have spoken to hp tech support who said he could call a local text in my area and PAY HIM/HER to fix my computer. He wouldn’t even give me the option of using my warranty. With this new comp that I just exchanged yesterday I contacted the on-line support who was a tad bit more helpful. Still he said the reasoning for my comp just turning off automatically and going to the windows error window was that the comp had run into a error and starts over. He couldn’t tell me why it did that when the comp is new and only 15 min into it being turned on. Or why the screen goes black but comp is still on, causing you to force shut down and start over. If you dont care about losing your work, comp crashing and never being able to go on again this is the computer for you. I know I had wasted a thousand dollars on a crappy computer. They also out source there tech help and the help seems to have no clue on what they are talking about, BUT only reading from a script.
Please can you give the details of HP laptops with indian price list. Thank you.
fantastic laptop! bought it as a refurbish, updated the old useless drivers – this MUST be done in order to have the computer work properly, otherwise it crashes and has a list of issues. After that and applying all the new windows updates, tweaking things here and there.. upgraded to 8GB RAM.. runs like a dream! does everything i need! can play a few newer games too! HD video looks stunning! the only draw back with most HP laptops is that they use very glossy screens – cant use outside very well. You can however buy a screen cover that’s glare free! If you can get this laptop for under 700 bucks don’t hesitate! If you are a big gamer, you might want to look elsewhere.. High-end gaming on a laptop is possible but you’re going to pay an arm and a leg for it – Alienware for example. This is still a fantastic versatile machine for use as a desktop replacement. Oh and it comes with a BlueRay Player, fingerprint reader, LED backlit screen, full keyboard (with num-pad), big 9 cell battery, VERY good powersaving mode (switches between 2 different graphics cards depending on plug-in / battery power), webcam is really decent and includes mic, dual HDD’s that run at 7200RPM – about 600GB of useable space, list goes on.. only downsides are the screen glare, no bluetooth, its a little bulky if you plan on moving it around a lot, it gets rather warm (i bought a cooling station which i highly recomend), upgrade that RAM while you’re at it.. GREAT BANG FOR YOU BUCK! ENJOY!
