HP Pavilion dv7-4295us Entertainment Notebook PC - Silver
It is hard to not sound negative about HP after my experience.

But ? This is the best you can do HP?
$1200 laptop computer by the time it gets to your door ...OH after four weeks of waiting for it to be "Built" because you added "Upgrades"
By the time this junk gets to you, would not it be great if it actually "Worked"?
But it did not and then began the limitless loop of people that ask you to do static discharge tests and other time wasting rubbish.
I spent 52 hours in week with tech support!
Do you have time for that?
HP Ought to give me the laptop computer free as pay for the hours I put in with them on this.

The Wireless in most of the HP mobile devices has issues and in these units it is deadly in my case it functioned for the first 15 minutes out of the box.

It may be that they are utilizing inferior wireless adaptors, I have read this on some of the blogs but I am not an specialist, I know mine would not work after plenty of, plenty of, hours of tech support calls and chats. The laptop computer basically didn't even "See" the adaptor. It was like it wasn't even in there?

At point, I was actually asked by HP Tech support to take the machine apart and "Re seat" the adaptor (Read unscrew the cover take the card out by unscrewing it and then put it back together) I did it ! Did not help.
The restore to original factory setting...did that four times! No help.

These guys at HP do not have a clue but in the event you search on YouTube before you buy you will notice there's pages and pages of folks that have similar "Issues" with HP products. They are not what they promise, you do not get what you pay for and while they look "Pretty" to some, the return is short lived before the gremlins appear.
Do not get caught in the HP "Trap" take your hard earn dollars elsewhere so you don't waste on a regular basis I did.

 trying to help others avoid the nightmarish experience I went through and possibly save you valuable money and time.

Powered by the latest processor and graphics technologies, it delivers the features you need to support your digital lifestyles


by Adam S(UK)
I am an engineer that works with high finish computers and various operating systems on a every day basis. I have a work laptop but this is my 1st personal laptop computer and 1st experience with windows 7. my earlier computer was a compaq desktop with windows xp that I bought 8 years ago and has had no issues (other than I had to have the floppy drive replaced several years ago). although I was growing sick of waiting ten seconds for a window to open, it was difficult for me to spend $ on something that i already had. but now (one week after owning the dv6-2170us) I have no regrets!I did plenty of research on amazon.com before I bought this laptop computer. my requirements were windows 7 home premium, at least 4gb of RAM (this laptop computer is expandable to 8gb of RAM), high-end processor (see - this processor is in the 'high-end' section), HD monitor (stunning, even able to 3D graphics; however, I haven't tried this), optical / dual layer DVD burner, large hard drive (500GB is over I'll probably ever use).
in addition to my requirements, this computer features bluetooth, the longest battery life I have heard of (up to 8 hours), a remote control (it will come in handy when watching movies from my bed; however, I bought a 23" HDTV monitor to plug in to by HDMI cable from this laptop computer), and a built-in webcam (picture looks nice, resolution???).I was initially concerned with the 'espresso' design (turns out it doesn't bother me at all; actually, I kind of like it because it prevents me from focusing on finger print smudges - I am kind of a tidy freak) and 15" would not be large (it is over large ).I am amazed at how speedy this laptop computer operates. I assume that this is in part because of windows 7 but it could basically be this laptop's processor, RAM, bus, etc.
my only complaints are that i was not aware that the battery would give this laptop computer a bubble butt (however, I don't mind it because I am liking the way it angles the keyboard for my hands to access...like a docking station would) and you require to generate your own 'system recovery' DVDs (however, it only took ~ twenty minutes to do this myself).I have arthritis in my hands/wrists from using computers (in general, not this computer) for long periods of time without resting over several years; therefore, i pay attention to ergonomic design nowadays. I am liking the keyboard and touch (mouse) pad on this laptop computer. I was pleasantly surprised that the keyboard encompasses a numeric pad as well. however, I did purchase the hp elite wireless keyboard and mouse combo (for $15 at dealpal), which ought to be showing up within the next day or two.
overall, I am a very happy customer (yes, you could even say i am liking it)!

I bought this computer because I am a budding photographer and casual gamer. I could not think how much computer I got for the cost. I bought the computer 2/1/2011 and it arrived two days later. The first thing I attempted to do was generate the recovery discs only to find out the computer would not burn dvd's. I had called Asus before making the acquisition to make definite the blu ray combo drive would burn dvds and i was assured that it would. Asus created a RMA and I send them the machine and received it back ten days later only to find the same issue. I called and got another RMA and sent it to a different location and received a machine ten days later that would burn dvd's.

Then I revealed about the sandy bridge recall. I opted for the advanced replacement so I could keep my machine while they sent me a brand spanking new but the new machine I received would not burn dvd's. So now I have another RMA and hopefully they get the issue fixed on their first try this time.

While I had a fully functional machine I absolutely loved it. It is blazing fast and whisper calm. My sister has the earlier years version of the Asus ROG and it sounds like it is going to exploded while playing W.O.W. Everytime I have spoken with Asus customer support it's been a pleasant experience and the turn around on the repairs has been fast. Its an awesome machine but a frustrating experience.

If you are looking for a cheap laptop computer of this size then this is a ideal choice.

Preliminary Impressions:
I have only had the laptop computer for a few days, but am happy with it. The number pad is great, island keys look lovely and feel lovely. The track pad has a ton of settings and options so with a tiny fiddling you ought to be able to finding the settings that work for you. The display is definitely widescreen but looks great. There wasn't much bloatware installed - chiefly a bunch of HP programs, but they were basically disabled/removed. Comes with McAffe 60 day trial which I uninstalled. Also comes with Office 2010 starter which provides Word & Excel limited versions. I like that this has a 7200 RPM harddrive as most laptops skimp with slower 5400 RPM options. Webcam works great and has a built-in light/flash. HP & Windows 7 even have face recognition for logging in, although that doesn't always work. The top has a matte finish with what I can best describe as a fine wood grain look that is grey/brown.

Update: of the main reasons I bought this laptop computer was for the HDMI output so I could connect to my receiver and HD TV then play videos, Hulu, etc. from the laptop computer to the TV. After a tiny tweaking of the audio playback tool both audio and video worked great over HDMI! I ought to note that the audio signal is not surround, but 'just' digital stereo.

Regarding Memory:
I ordered another 2GB of RAM and after removing 7 screws I got to the memory location under the keyboard and the additional memory appeared to be the exact same as what I ordered. You can google to find the instructions for removing the keyboard on HP's web-site. However, I don't know that 4GB is absolutely necessary for this laptop computer. It depends on how plenty of programs you'll have open at a time and the way you plan to make use of it. Plenty of people probably don't know that 4GB is the maximum amount that a 32 bit Operating Technique can reference.

overall
Circuit City (owned by the same company as Tiger Direct) by Amazon had the best cost for this laptop computer (400), even better than Newegg (420). I was surprised that shipping took only three days!

I love my laptop computer. It is light & it is also quiet. The battery life on it started out as around 6-8 hours depending on how hard I worked it & I usually only had to charge it one time a day. The battery life has, however, depleted to only about three hours on a full charge but it is probably a manufacturing defect so I plan to warranty it. other small downside is that the hinges are made of a plastic that is not impact long lasting. I dropped the computer inside my bag about 18 inches & on of the hinges got all mangled but as long as you are cautious with it, this should not be a controversy. Fundamentally, I am liking it & it is cute (It is TARDIS blue...sorta. It is darker but still sexy.). It does everything I need it to & also since I got it with the xbox deal I could trade my xbox & I have a PS3 now & it all worked out awesomely. Thanks Toshiba!
