My New HP laptop!
 

I have been using the same laptop since CECASH bought it for me about 5-6 years ago as a points gift. Thanks CE CASH! A Toshiba Satellite. It has done me well! Still works, but its gonna die soon...so I bought a new HP. Heard they work and last...anyone have a HP Laptop? How has it performered for you?

Yeah I had one that lasted about 3 years. Had issues with the power supply port as well as the screen hinges.

Should have gone with a Dell.

Dell has those same problems trust me lol.

He should of stuck with Toshiba. I do admit I still have a Dell Inspirion 8200 that still works, but I did have to replace 4 power supplies, and gut it and re solder the joints for the power port, and replace the hinges 2 times, and replace the front screen bezel, and replace the touch pad, but it does still work hehe.

I like my Toshiba Qosmio though :thumbsup

I love my HP...

I have a hp tx2510, a tablet pc, is great, but i can use XP, i will try install the new windows seven.

HP is a good choice :thumbsup

Lenovo for PC

Better yet get a macbook and run both

HP has been performing good for many years.

:thumbsup

at first i thought hp was a shitty company but my last 2 laptop have been hp's and thy are still running strong. Id do a clean install on the os to get rid of the shitware hp pre-installs

Ya might want to remove VIsta if its the 64 bit version:)

have two HP's and they are rock solid :thumbsup

Very good laptop

I'm an IBM/Lenovo guy for life. I've got two thinkpads and absolutely love them.

I do however have an HP DV6426us that I got recently when I traded my desktop for it. So far it's been nice as a desktop replacement. Mobile and decent processing power. Works great for me so far!

I made sure I got XP Pro , seems to be the best for me ;)

BACK UP THE OS TO DISK IMMEDIATELY ..

HP is the reason I switched to MAC .. I still have one but it is on it's 3 re-install of the OS ..

Can you elaborate on this? What do I need to do? and why?

Thanks!!

Its his subtle way of telling you you should have bought a Mac! :thumbsup:thumbsup

Check your all programs menu, there should be something like 'Create HP Restore Disc'. Just pop in a dvd and let it burn.

Good choice.

i get a new laptop every 6-12 months and about half of them have been HP, never had any problems with any of them that weren't caused by me.

on the other hand i've had dells where the battery life starts dwindling and the lid hinges get weak.

Same here, don't regret buying it one bit! Would prefer a mac but that'll come some day.

my gripe is the fucking ctrl button is NOT on the far left..its one key in

i had to give my lenovo away

I heard HPs suck... Lenovos are good!

hp+vista =ok
hp+xp= endless driver problems
....for the latest hp products

Asus all the way.

How do you know this? I had them install XP Pro becasue I don't like Vista? Ayone else have a comment on this?

Thanks!

thats great i will buy HP hehehehhe

HP or DELL, both are excellent choices.

I'd rather DELL because of the design. :2 cents:

I have Toshiba Satellite a-110 and it great!!! So Far!!!

HP and Dell laptops both suck

Its crazy how many different opinions there are. For the record I will give the Toshiba I have a B Grade. I have had to fix the power connection 3 times. 2 new batteries. It only has one usb port left, lol but it works decent still after 5-6 years.

My new HP is loaded to the hilt with ram and memory. It should fly :)

Every laptop gets problems with the power supply port. It cost $25-$75 to repair depending on who does. Or if you can solder, the part cost $5

oh and im on my 3rd HP, none have failed. I simply upgraded. Awesome laptops.

about to buy a new one, but im trying to find ones with some more powerfull specs

ram and memory are the same things :mad:

Bought one for my assistant. I hate the keyboard. I thought it was just me, but she hates it too.

Ok ok ok sorrrrrry ha ha

:1orglaugh

I disagree, the only thing about dell that sucks is that they only give you support for that crappy os named Windows Vista.

I only buy HP and Apple hardware. The HP stuff keeps up with the Apple stuff just fine, at a fraction of the cost.

who the hell needs support for the OS anyway

HP is the worst crap ever. Bought a nice HP laptpop 1 year ago for around 1200 USD and it went bananas on me a few weeks ago. This was just a few days after the warranty expired :D

Yesterday I orderd myself a new laptop from Dell.

Jesus! Well I hope mine turns out OK. I spent 2k on it. I am onit now and so far its the best machine ive ever been on. Hope it lasts more than a year!

Not macbook pro ... magnetic connection .. nothing to break .. ;)

I meant driver support, you can only use it with that OS or wait for a third party to release second hand drivers.
