I'm not happy at all. I ordered this product about 4 days ago. They decided to send me one right away which I get to install upon arrival. On about my sixth try I turned on the computer and nothing appeared on the screen. So I got to tear down my own computer while getting directions from tech support on the other end. The bad part is I got a call today from an obviously outsourced country's employee that my part is delayed and won't be here until the 24th. Windows Vista is a pain but, it seemed to work fine. There is another minor problem.
Ok fine. We almost came to a stop when my hand was to big to reach in and grab the battery that they wanted taken out and put back. I have used it a couple of times since then and things seem to have been working fine. The moniter again displayed nothing and went into the standby mode.
As for the product other than the problems listed when it was working it seemed to be working fine. I called HP and was almost immediatly connected. The bad part is that they had this mostly computer novice do the trouble shooting for them before they would do anything. I got someone in the household with smaller hands to help me. Latest update.
I asked what if I can't get to it. 2 weeks from the time the problem was reported. You would think for the money one is spending that the process would be alittle easier or that I could take it to an authorized repairman. This is approx. That's only about six weeks from the time the computer went bad. I got a call from HP that now says the part won't be shipped until Sept. The drive tray gets caught on the drive door when the drive tray returns to the closed position.
I turned it off and tried again. The tech told me then I could either return it to Amazon or pay to get it fixed. After all that we came to the to the possible solution that it might be the graphics card. 19th. HP would not pay for the shipping or to have it fixed until all the steps in the trouble shooting process were complete.
Everything worked immediately with my new HP running Vista, however, and the system has been rock solid. Apple's built in networking capabilities are primitive, and getting the Macs set up to work with network printers was a pain. I like the tray on top with a cable clip for hooking up cameras, Ipods, or whatever. I'm not one to give 5/5 stars to anything, but this computer is awesome. It then automatically downloads a programming guide for all the channels you have chosen, and offers a Tivo like interface for easily choosing shows to record. That would have been a big mistake. I recently added a couple of Macbook laptops to the home network, and this computer was far easier to set up.
My old PC was running well with XP, and with all the moaning about Vista, I thought about running XP on the new computer as well. I'm using 64 bit Vista on the HP, and with 6 MB of RAM, the thing runs beautifully. The Media software included works really well, letting you automatically search for over air HD channels, cable channels, or whatever you want to feed into it. No crashes, no glitches, despite using all the Vista eye candy extras (which I recommendthey're fun after all). The unit itself is quiet and thoughtfully designed. I added the 24" HP flatscreen monitor, and the graphics are amazing. The built in digital TV tuner is really fun.
Don't care for Norton so that was the first thing to go and got a different (and better) antivirus software. I like that they put the power button on the top since I keep the Tower under desk. No glitches and no software issues yet. VERY PLEASED. I must be one of the few who actually enjoys the new Vista 64-bit operating system. I'm saving money with recording and downloading my fav TV shows on this PC. SUPER SLICK. This computer is WICKED FAST as it should be with the Quad processor and the 6 Gigs of ram.
Also runs much cooler and quieter than my previous HP that I got four years ago. all match and look fantastic together. Mouse was lame so I got a better one. Logitech makes killer mice. Great for an artist, comes with Wacom pen.(HP you heard my prayers) SHAZAM. I also have a review on the HP Pavilion TX2510US convertible laptop. Cleaned out all the other crap HP loads on the PC I'll never use.
This thing slices through high meg layered files like they were butter. Up and running in less than an hour with plugging everything in and system adjustments. Monitor, Tower, keyboard. I've never seen graphics programs run so fast in my life. Beginning 'welcoming' animation was pretty slick and impressive (yes they dropped some bucks getting that made) Nice look also with the black gloss and touch of silver.
GREAT JOB HP. The HDMI connection allows me to view my computer on a flatscreen HDTV and thats how I view my downloaded movies, then during the movie, I can pause check my emails or chats and in seconds be back to watching my movie. Extremely happy with this investment. I can only imagine a gaming computer would be faster but I'm not into dropping 3 grand on a PC that'll be outdated in five years nor do I game. PLENTY of bang for my buck.
This PC does everything I need, want and more.
My old PC had issues running Photoshop CS3 and Pinnacle Studio 12. one negative- After turning the PC for the first time, I heard this high pitched noise. Opening the PC case, I found the cables laying on the video card fan. I'm now able to edit my high-def videos without any issues. After purchasing this model last week, everything runs smooth. I fear it may have damaged the card. I took a tie-wrap and bundled the cables off the fan.
