Fucking HP laptops SUCK BALLS!!!!
 

So I bought a hp laptop after my dell got stolen. less then a year later the wireless card goes on it. So I send it back to them for repair and they LOOSE the fucking machine.

It takes them 2 1/2 months to replace it so Im on a rental that entire time. They finally replace it and 2 months later the new laptop has a hardware failure on it and i have to SEND IT BACK AGAIN.

What are the odds Ill ever see this machine again once it goes back

:mad::mad::mad::mad::321GFY:321GFY:321GFY:321GFY

fucking piece of crap hp

i have an hp dv8000 and love it. you back at home yet?

Not to make light of your situation but how does a service department lose a computer? I mean really, how?

My top of the line HP laptop was delivered with a dead harddrive but it was replaced within a few days. (I went directly to the HP service center in town).

However the quality of my HP laptop in general is terrible (I think) compared to Acer and some other brands. I wish I just stuck with Acer but I was blinded by the nice looks of the HP :Oh crap

Damn I just bought a HP Pavillon 9428NR I hope I will not have those problems :(

Mine sucks too, the backlight or something in the monitor went out so I had to send it back to get fixed, got it back fixed in like 5 days though which isn't bad.

I will never own a HP Laptop or Desktop. I have worked on so many of them, they are one of the worst building computers you can buy.

i only can say the best about hp-support (here in europe)

Had nothing but problems with my HP's...I would NEVER buy one again

My experience with HP differs.

Granted, I've only owned this laptop for about 6 months now - and I've never had to send it back to the shop - but I couldn't be happier, I don't think.

I had similar, only worse experience with a Sony laptop :mad:

Sony - in general - can suck a nut, imho.

Dealing with their customer support (multiple times) has got to be of the worst experiences I've ever gone through...

It's to the point where I'm now sworn off purchasing anything with a "Sony" stamp on it, provided I have the option.

What a nightmare.:Oh crap

Had an HP for about 4 years. Worked great.
I had a hard drive failure in the first year after I slapped it. :1orglaugh

I had to reformat the harddrive a few months ago because I couldn't boot up.
Somehow I think that was a windows problem because I reinstalled windows and the hardrive works fine.

PS: The click pads sucked! Always double clicking and right click not working until I did it a couple of times :mad:

I have an HP, that I just retired to my son. Got a virus, and needed to format, so I got a new one. It had a hardware failure 2 times, and they was fixed within a week each time. other than that is he been awesome. No issue with the wireless, in fact, the antenna for the wireless in that is better than in my dell.

The best way to get an idea of a system's reliability, or a manufacturer for that matter, is by checking out their refurbished section, or line-up!

HP has a HUGE one! Best Buy and many other retailers flog their massive and constantly growing list of system (lines) that have common problems! But don't take my word for it. Simply G00G ""HP refurb"", or ""refurbished"".

If on a budget, and you simply MUST buy prebuilt shit, buy a Dell! Yah, HP makes the odd good system, when they're luck! However, Dell has a much better track recored.

Better yet, do you self a favour and buy AlienWare!! Unlike the others just mentioned, they do not merely build around whatever cheap ass hardware they can get their grubby mitts on! They build rock solid monster!!

Another key selling feature is they do not litter the system with the obscure proprietary garbage (software, system setting, hardware) that HP does.

Damn I swear by HP and have used them for a while. On my 3rd one right now. Never any hardware problems

with out a lie .. HP 100% made me go MAC .. I bought one of their top of the line DV models and got an entire 5 months out of it .. working to keep it running the whole time .. drivers weren't working for this and that .. went to upgrade it to 64bit with the "upgrade DVD" and ended up having to call HP only to find out that the notebook wasn't ready to ... WTF .. it was sold and marketed as 64bit ready .. simple things like the webcam failed repeatedly .. fuck it was a nightmare from the first week on .. I gave it to my 3 year old to play games on .. my MACBook Pro absolutely slaughters it ..

I've never had a problem with my HP or Compaq laptops, although I do find it funny that the HP laptop is a Compaq model, and the Compaq laptop is an original HP model.

just get another dell.. I have heard about that HP recall some models..

alienware is overpriced for wannabe gamers.

I'm on my 3rd HP laptop, and I've had two Dells and an Acer. The Acer was the worst of the bunch, and the HP's have been the best.

Hp is for printers, I would never buy a PC or laptop of theirs.

no I will be home monday and will get in touch

if you dont hear from me by tues hit me up cause im sure monday will be nuts

dude if you want hit me up Ill give u the number to the senior support staff that is actually here in the us instead of listening to those indian idiots

I've never used an HP laptop. Only a desktop. Never had problems with it.

I Agree!

I fell ya. 6 months after I got my HP laptop the HD went on it. Had to take it to the Geek Squad to get my shit off of it because there was irreplacable photos on it. So that cost me almost 200.00. Fuckers. Then after that about a year later my backlight went. Other than that no issues.

Check out Apple.com

I had a hp pc before and it sucked... that is why I swear to never touch a hp or compaq pc or laptop again

OMG the same shit just happened to me. The thing wouldn't power up. They replaced the plastic cover, webcam, dvd drive, and hard disk. Those had nothing to do with the powerup problem. It came back and the douche bags left a paper screen on the webcam lens and forgot to put a couple of the dust caps on. I've been without it for 5 months now. Can definitely relate. :321GFY

Maybe if you can afford to pay the price of a new car for an un-upgradable computer...

I wonder about the logistics about the support center you sent it to :X

I had mine picked at home (no cost) for repair, lets see if they fuck it up (I'm must say given how they dealt with the process so far I'm pretty confident!)

yeah im thinking of taking it somewhere local and just paying to have it fixed.

That way I can go beat someones door down when its not ready

had a problem with usb plug and the rep told me they will replace the board but will take a month or so, then i said no... i just ask them to replace my busted remote after 3 days i got the replacement and stock it on the bay after a month i tried to use the remote and i didnt work :mad: change the battery still didnt work :mad: so brought it to service center and i discovered that the replacement they given me is full of scratches at the back and the fucking rep told me that i change it to another busted remote i have and just making fun of them to replace it :mad:

HP BLOWZZZZZZZ im thinkin of gettin a G4 towerz of powerz

IBM is the best way to buy good laptop.
Thinkpad!!!!!

My boyfriend's HP laptop went out in early December (one week shy of the first year). They outsource their support to India and if you have a Southern accent like me, you are in trouble. Got it back, wouldn't load.

Long story short, this is the fourth return and he hasn't had a working computer 2 weeks out of 2 months. This time it is getting replaced but you lose all the programs and templates. Still another week before it comes back. Yes, they paid shipping both ways but what the fuck.

This is our fourth try with "no power up". They kept replacing the wrong stuff. Two and a half months now.

I have a HP Pavilion 9000 Series and it's the best thing I have ever bought! Around 2500$ and it is worth it.

Forgot to mention that the third out of fourth problem we got upgraded to an American supervisor who said he would send us a new hard drive via fedex (no computer return required). A week later we found out that that was totally undocumented and they don't send out parts. WTF!

(My desktop is an HP and no problems)

I'd never get an HP, heard way too many bad stories about them.

My trusty Dell laptop has been on almost permanently now for coming up to 2.5 years without ONE single problem. This machine goes on, and on, and on.

I would definately buy Dell again, or I'm strongly thinking about a Mac next :thumbsup
