I purchased a nice desktop from Hp a little over 2 years ago and i just love my computer. It came with so many features i have yet to explore everything on my pc. Very easy to use for my little ones also. Their customer service is amazing and easy to chat with. The price that i had paid was not bad at... review »

HP's stuff works well at first, but if you have any problem, kiss yo' money goodbye!

First, they use small cheap parts inside so they'll break easily.  Ironically, always when the warranty runs out.  It costs so much more to fix it (not to mention the hassle-from-hell) than to buy a new one.

Second,...

I bought my HP computer over the phone since I had questions that I wanted to clear up before I purchased one online. I was able to customize it myself and choose all the things I wanted and got all the fastest and biggest memory and RAM. I chose the small screen however because I think the bigger ones are just a waste of space. After everything it only cost me a tad over $500. It was shipped within the week and I love it! It is very cute and sleek and works great! Better than any I've ever used. I really recommend it!! I am still getting used to the Vista software though but luckily already have... review »

HP desk tops are the absolute worst. My first desktop circa Windows 98 was so under-powered, and had so little memory that it used to freeze up just playing solitaire, and cost me a fortune. I had purchased an extend warranty that the company absolutely refused to honor. I finally gave it away and bought an e-machine for a third as much which ran perfectly.

HP's glory days of Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard tinkering in the garage are long behind this company which no longer has anything cutting edge except their state of the art prices.

In case you think that things have improved I work for...

I had an unfortunate incident with my old Dell computer recently and had to go purchase a new computer post haste.  I compiled a list of requirements beforehand and went prepared to purchase.  I ended up getting the HP w1707 with Vista.  If you are an avid gamer you will have to upgrade the video card as the original is unequal to the task of handling complex graphics.  I don't have a need for this so the video card is quite adequate for everyday purposes.  I mostly use my desktop to shop, blog, print coupons, watch videos, email and generally keep up with the latest news and information.  ...

I am a internet addict but I am not very technical. My HP desktop is perfect for me and I use it daily. I am still having a little trouble with learning the fine points of the Vista program but I am getting used to it. I have not had any trouble downloading. I have had a few problems with getting the Windows to respond. I am not sure if that is a memory problem or what I need to do. I like the compact style of the tower, I like the multiple USB ports. I love the flat screen monitor I picked up with the system also. I would liek to see more security fetures provided with a new system. I...

Hewlett packard desktop or laptop computers, are usually the computer of choice for myself. They are fairly easy to use, competitive to lower pricing than most other computers, have been around forever so you know when something goes wrong you can count on the brand name to fix whatever is wrong with it. I have gotten used to vista and although it isnt the greatest operating system, it is compatible with most programs which i enjoy using. the computer was really easy to set up and easy to download microsoft and anti-virus software onto it. some drawback, the screen gets extremely dirty compared...

I love using my hp computer. I use it a lot. There are so many things I can do with it. I do a lot of surveys. Which mean I'm always on it. The only down side is I live in an area that don't have high speed internet. But even with having to use dial up, it is a lot faster then other computers. Some of my friends complain about how slow their computers are and ask me what provider do I use. Don't get me wrong it's still not as fast as highspeed but it is fast for dial up. Whenever I do get another computer it will most likely be an hp. I have made lots of cds and dvds with my computer also. I didn't...

We purchased an HP notebook computer on sale with the intent of putting linux on it and using it as a travel computer -- wireless connectivity was essential.  It turns out that most HP notebooks use a proprietary wireless chipset, the manufacturer of which refuses to provide essential information for the construction of drivers under linux.  We restored the computer to virginity with the recovery DVDs we had made (FIRST THING TO DO no matter what you intend to do with the machine) and returned it.

It was a fine machine otherwise, except for the shiny screen which is absolutely useless outdoors,...

The HP Pavilion is the best computer I have ever had.  It came loaded with all the right software.  It is quick and came with a program that reminds me when to back up.  It is very intuitive to my needs.  Plenty of memory and very reliable.

 

 

I would never buy any other brand.  It is wonderful to find a company like HP that stands behind their computers and are right there to help with anything.  The ordering process was fantastic.  I ordered it straight from HP and was able to customize it just the way I wanted.

After a PC Dell crashed, I decided to go for a bigger and better model, so bought a high priced HP to go with my high quality all-in-one printer.  Now I am finding this HP PC is the worst computer I have ever had.  It fouls up repeatedly, will not recognize the printer, and even though a brand new Office pack has been installed, it keeps reverting to Works instead of Word, so can't open most things sent to me.  I am ready to return it and the printer.  To top it all, I hate Vista.  Even Windows doesn't work right!

My husband needed a new computer, we looked for months.  He found an HP laptop he liked, I found a better one for less money.  I am not sure I like "Vista" yet but its growing on me as I have not had to do major repairs while at home as it seems to have good protection against many things online.  There was not to much junk prgrams included wtih the computer.  HP makes a good laptop.  I also bought the "docking station" and thats GREAT! highly recommend that with your laptop purchase.

We have had our laptop about 8 months and love it.  The touch screen at the top allowes us to quickly play our dvds and mp3s.  I know people say vista stinks but we love it especially the new media library!!!  The only issue we have had to deal with is downloading new vist drivers from the internet for some or our devices (printers ect.).  Oh and a heads up...the new microsoft office has moved alot of there formatting buttons...but you'll get use to it.

I bought an HP laptop in September 2007.  It is very durable, I haul it all over the place for my work as well as school. 

It is always reliable, it does take a long time to boot up first thing after being shut down, but I really like the sleep mode... you put it to sleep when not using it, and it comes back up really quick the next time.
