Customer Reviews

NICE5
Anyone unhappy with this unit is nuts or spoiled as hell. Can't really find a complaint. Fast. Been using for over a month now problem free. Took it out of the box, turned it on, set it up, and started working, and remember saying out loud "I can't beleive I own this". Most computer hardware wise for the money I could find. Solid. Only thing that disappointed was that the HP Media Bundle has issues but the Windows programs are reliable. I like to install my own media software anyway so I still give this machine 5 stars.

A Surprisingly Solid PC From HP5
I have used the HP Pavilion DV7 for the 17 months now. It was purchased by my company as I would never have considered purchasing such a "cheap" laptop. I only preface with this bit of nerd snobbery so you can know this review is written by someone who hasn't touched a notebook under $2K for over a decade and has rather high PC performance standards:

In short, this is an AMAZING steal for the price. The technical specs are superior to what you'll find in the more "elite" market and the performance of this PC is really impressive. In fact, I'm leaving my company and am only on Amazon writing this review as I prepare to purchase another of these models for my personal use...

PROS:
I originally thought I'd only use it for work (aka spreadsheets, etc) but started using it for video watching, gaming, movie burning, etc because it was working so smoothly. I'm a very hard PC user. I don't like to close applications and am always multi-tasking as in: several Microsoft Excel spreadsheets; a few Word documents; at least one Project file; iTunes playing in the background; Outlook running and checking mail every 15 seconds; Google Chrome open with 7 tabs; and Mozilla Firefox open with 7 more tabs. This PC has performed expertly for a year and never even paused despite my harsh use. As in, no crashes, no hesitation to respond to a click despite aforementioned heavy (ab)use and because it's worth repeating--no crashes.

CONS:
The only thing I have to report, is after 17 months of solid use, I've worn the "E" off (key/hardware works fine) and the "R" is on her way out too!

Although I had no issue with mine, I feel compelled to report that of the 4 PCS my company purchased, one did end up with a fried motherboard. To be fair, that particular employee was prone to visiting...websites of ill-repute...and could have caught himself a virus (ironic) that turned the fans off.

Great product with some glitches4
I know that for the price your paying for this computer it isen't that bad. It only has one fluck that I have experenced and that is that the dislay drive stops responding and immediantly recovers after the screen gos black for a few seconds. It has something to do with the kernel drive 184.66 and I can't fix it because hp and nvidia haven't come up with a solution too the problem yet and yes I did a system recovery several times also uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. Other than that I really can't complain other then that little problem with the display drive. I really dont like the fact that they took out the 500GB (7200RPM) hard drive and replaced it with a 640GB (5400RPM). Overall I give this computer a 4 out of 5.

Customer Reviews HP Pavilion dv9000t 17-Inch Laptop Notebook

Mine is a very expensive 2 year old paperweight1
I have had this series of DV9000 with the same features since March '07. Just 3 months after the initial 2 year warranty period (extra year because I bought it at Costco) the optical drive failed. Also, HP recalled my computer due to a display hinge problem, which I had to send to them for repair for 2 weeks. Just one month after I received my repaired computer, the motherboard fried. One minute it was working, the next minute it was blank and unresponsive. HP wants another $400 for this- clearly not worth the money to fix it. If you don't mind spending over a thousand dollars on a 2 year old "disposable" electronic device, than go for it. I have NEVER traveled with this laptop. The furthest is has moved is upstairs and downstairs in my home, yet it had multiple issues and a catastrophic failure just after 2 years. My computer technicians said that the series is frought with problems, and recommended not fixing it (contrary to their business interest in fixing it). Many of the computers in the DV9000 line were recalled due to a motherboard failure- though mine is "not one of them" according to HP. Dealing with HP is a NIGHTMARE as well. They make a lot of promises with ZERO follow through. Their customer service is reprehensible.

If you DO decide to buy an HP- use your Amex card. American Express adds an additional year beyond the manufacturer warranty to any electronic device you purchase via their card. I have been pleasantly surprised that they have been handling this PC issue wonderfully, and have promised to either repair or replace it. I will not be replacing it with another HP- of any kind or series.

Stay Away!!!!1
This computer was great untill exactly 3 weeks after the warenty ran out then the mother board just up and fried. Only had the computer for 1 year and 3 weeks and now its dead. Not to mention HP was no help and wanted 500-600 to replace the mother board!!!

Decent Machine3
This was my first laptop purchase and at first I was "wowed"! In less than a year I have had two letters fall off of the keyboard permanently, it sticks quite frequently as well. The battery does not hold a very long charge at all and now the AC adaptor port is shorting out.
It runs reasonably well though. The wireless works superbly. Even with the issues that I have encountered, I would not pass it by if the price was right.
