"Faulty components / no customer support"
Pros: Nice look and feel, good CPU.
Cons: (1) Keyboard keys kind of flimsy, some keys break.
Summary: Warning! There are major problems with the complete line of HP Pavilion with NVIDIA chipset's.
(2) HP Pavilion with NVIDIA chipset - Video portion fails prematurely.
HP knows about the problem (check out the forum on HP?s web site) but they continue to sell these pieces of junk without providing support.
If you have one of the HP Pavilion DO NOT install the patch NVIDIA recommends, this patch only forces the cooling fan to run continuously which delays the eventual failure (past warranty) of the video portion causing the laptop to become useless.
Quote?s form Class action law suit. (Line 24 & 25 of page 6)
? ?the NVIDA GPUs is not robust enough to withstand normal operation?
? ?HP Confirmed the NVIDIA GPU Defect in an Internal Investigation?
Basic response from HP when notified of the failure past warranty, enjoy your brick and thanks for the money, sorry can?t help you without a large expense on your part.
You have been warned!
