5.0 out of 5 stars
Does it all!
I have owned this notebook for 2 months now, and it has performed beautifully. I wanted something that would be an entertainment/work computer all in one, with a decent sized hard drive and no lag time or freezing up when running multiple applications as I had alot of trouble with that with my old Compaq notebook. I can record movies (I bought an additional tv tuner...

Great value...typical HP keyboard problem
This is a lot of computer for the money. Fast processor, built-in bluetooth, big hard drive, Lightscribe (which is cool). Having said that... Mine is one week old and already having keyboard problems. This is a very old story with HP. I had an HP years ago and the keyboard eventually reached the point where many of the keys would not work. Owners...

This review is from: HP Pavilion dv5040us 15.4" Laptop (AMD Turion 64 Mobile Processor ML-40, 2048 MB RAM, 100 GB Hard Drive, LightScribe Drive) (Personal Computers)
I have owned this notebook for 2 months now, and it has performed beautifully. I wanted something that would be an entertainment/work computer all in one, with a decent sized hard drive and no lag time or freezing up when running multiple applications as I had alot of trouble with that with my old Compaq notebook. I can record movies (I bought an additional tv tuner since this laptop did not have one built in), download video and music on iTunes and surf the web all at the same time. Media Center is a joy, and the lightscribe feature is also great. Bluetooth wireless is a pleasure, and the little remote that comes with the laptop is alot of fun. You can easily watch a movie or listen to music from across the room with the impossibly small remote. I have not experienced any problems with the keyboard buttons, but my solution is simple- ALWAYS purchase a service plan that goes beyond the manufacturer's warranty. I haven't had any problems yet, but I certainly expect to sometime in the next 3 years (par for the course with all electronics IMHO), and for a couple hundred dollars more I am covered. FYI I bought my laptop through Compusa.Bottom line: I am thrilled with this purchase for entertainment purposes and I would definately buy this model again.

This is a lot of computer for the money. Fast processor, built-in bluetooth, big hard drive, Lightscribe (which is cool).Having said that... Mine is one week old and already having keyboard problems. This is a very old story with HP. I had an HP years ago and the keyboard eventually reached the point where many of the keys would not work. Owners have complained about it for years. (Check the numerous notebook forums.) Calling tech support is useless. You reach someone in India who speaks little English and can only recite from a script. At $1,400+ for this machine, avoid it. Try Toshiba, Sony or Fujitsu. A few more bucks, but it will have a keyboard that works. HP has had years to fix this and hasn't. No more HP's for me. |
