   I am just writing this review because the price is shown as $99,999. This seems to a system problem.

   The laptop needs to be made from pure gold for this price.

   Worked well for a month and then the USB ports stopped working, followed by a dead webcam. Keyboard area is made of cheap plastic and not sure how long that will last.

   Spent hours with HP tech support but so far no luck. Reco is to wipe out and re-install the OS & software. I may have to spend a lot of time with no guarantee if the problems will be fixed. SUX!!

   I had a similar problem with one of the other reviewers here. HP would not service my laptop due to “customer related damage” which it was obviously not. There is a reason they are dead last in all customer service polls. God forbid if you need actually service. Between dealing with people in India, which most barely speak English, and zero warranty support, take your money elsewhere. HP is the worst service experience I have ever had.

   I bought this computer in April 2009 from Staples. It worked fine until about a month ago. I turned it on & there were a few dead (black) pixels across the bottom. Every time I turn it on there are more dead pixels — now the longest stretch of dead ones is over 8″ long with 4-6 more rows of dead pixels that are 4″ long.
   
   I spent a long time chatting with “customer service” (there’s an oxymoron….). They want me to ship it back to them for “service”. I said, “No — I did not pay for a refurbished computer. I bought a NEW computer.” After reading these dismal reviews on Amazon (for which I am very grateful) I realize that working with HP is a hopeless venture.

   They have told me that it has been escalated to a manger who will call me back within 48 hours. I’ve read time & again online that others have been given that song & dance & have never been called.

   We had also just bought two other HP’s over the summer along three HP printers. If they don’t make it right, i.e., replace this with a brand new computer (since that’s what I paid for!) I will never, ever buy another HP product & I will make certain that everyone I know hears of my experience with HP “quality”.

   It just seems to me that once a company outsources, their customer service goes down the toilet. We are dealing with persons who are reading off of a script & who cannot “think”. Very frustrating for the consumer!

   I have had nothing but problems getting service for my HP. I get different answers from different people who can’t understand me.
   
   If you run into a problem, they stink at trying to help. The extra money for a different company is sure to be worth the sloppy job they do on their computers. A mother board they replaced has a problem six months later and they want me to pay them to diagnose the problem that I already have identified. They want me to buy a new motherboard because its “out of warranty.” ?? Too much money to not stand by your product.

   refurbished computers might be based from an old technology but you can buy them in bargain prices “
