I bought a HP Pavillion DV1040US last year because of the rave reviews it got. It has absolutely everything you can ever want. Well....lets get down to the bad....
I was starting to have problems with the copy of Windows Home Edition. CPU usage started hitting 100 every single time....no virus'...no explanation from HP. No matter how many times I did the quick restore thing. No clue why....I want to blame it on hardware interaction with Windows.
My 1 year warranty went...I bought a copy of WinXP pro. Did a fresh format and install. My USB drivers and Soundcard NO LONGER WORK. The only way to make them work you ask??????? By installing HP's original software on the computer. So I would have to go back to Windows Home and then upgrade to Pro. HP doesn't even include the right drivers on their websites to help Windows find the on board soundcard and USB.. No clue where my restore DVD is now and HP can't help me. I have given up on it. I'm left with a laptop with no USB and no Sound.
a fucking nightmare. stay away.
