HP Pavilion DV7-2170US 17.3-Inch Entertainment Laptop
Customer Rating (3.5/5)
I got this for school after my other laptop decided to fall apart on me. i’ve owned nothing but hp laptops first one had an issue with the power cord and the prongs inside were bent and therefore did not charge well. Second the left hinge broke and there was a recall to the cooling system which fried everything but hp was wonderful and even though i got the laptop from ebay i was still able to get it fixed no cost and took about 2 weeks less than they estimated and the bonus i did not lose any info on my laptop (not important since all was backupped but still great nonetheless. anyways decided to upgrade since the left hinge was not fixed (known problem for this particular laptop. and they fixed all of the above with this laptop. plug is secure and does not wiggle like first laptop, second the hinge is totally different and puts less pressure on the backing which will not cause it to break like second laptop. Excellent computers would highly recommend. I use mine for school work, and had taken coun 503 which required SPSS programming and it worked flawlessly and when i’m not studying for my masters I like to play games on this. reason I got second laptop was because the original owner couldn’t get wireless to work and could not play WoW on it. wireless was fixed during recall and i’m not into WoW so not an issue. Great computer and if your a student you can actually get a discount if your school participates which most do. great buy and would buy another hp when this becomes obsolete. My hp desktop works great and it’s older! so not sure why the 1 stars on this laptop. Yeah i’m sure there are defective ones, but if you talk to hp (can be annoying talkin to someone who doesn’t speak english well and when you tell them “can’t power laptop on due to power not getting to my board” and they respond well ma’am we need to knkow what is wrong so you will need to turn it on now is a bit frustrating but after calmly telling the lady it isn’t gonna happen for the hundredth time she then said well you will need to send it in and have us look at it to see if it’s covered under the recall (hello, your site said my model was, it also gave a description on why it’s not working and it fits it perfectly.) but they did correct the problem so yay and as for this laptop no overheating problems, none of the problems i had previously are popping up so far so I am definetely happy with this. got this 10/07/09 so it’s been awhile wanted to make sure i had it awhile to see if anything would happen but nothing love it!

| Review by Pat (USA) 2010-08-19 Received the laptop for the first year of college. Great portability and battery life. My biggest beef is that the specific "port security describes," which I think is just a small 2mm hole for a lanyard to confirm. This is very misleading, if not completely disclose all forms of security. It has a locking mechanism. If I had known primary... Read more ASUS UL30A-X5K Thin reviews | ||
