Never buy a HP computer

[oddler]

I have a Satellite and it can lick poo anyday if you ask me. After 8 months, the thing froze without running any additional applications. I proceeded to shut it down and restart. When I turned the power back on, the only thing that responded was the little green power LCD. The screen stays black and the disk inside won't even hum like normal. I took it to a computer repair store and they told me that I had to send it off. I felt like telling them "You have no purpose in life" but I restrained myself. I have yet to send it back to Toshiba.

You just figured out HP sucks?

[Reles]

We had a free HP once. It was slow, slower than my dial-up Internet. Those two were always a bad combination.

I had an HP once, but I don't remember what happened to it. It indeed suck bawls. That's why you should build your own computer.

HP > MP at least.

I've got a HP laptop that I haven't had any problems with. I've only had it since December, though. It was one of the top rated in its class by Consumer Reports, so maybe it's better than some of their other models. Who knows.

Well.. HP owns Compaq and I have a compaq and it's like the best laptop ever.
BUT My sister had an HP laptop and my bro-in-law crashed the system and to her dismay she didn't have one of those recover discs to bring her computer back to life. (She kept getting the Blue screen of death and then it'd restart and go back)

So she ended up buying a dell laptop and made a back up disc for the dells windows and installed it on her HP and now her HP's back to normal. Which is kind of sad... Because she needed her laptop but basically it cost her a brand new computer to fix her HP because it didn't come with a disc to save it. x x;;;

Just set them all ablaze for me. That's all I ask.

That would be Dell.

My mom gave my 12 year old girl a HP desktop. God, it's a piece of junk! It came with all this bloated software that no one uses and I'm aways seeing a little advertisemnt icon come up on the screen that slows the entire comp down. I hate HP!

okay my sis wil buy a laptop and now she won't.I guess HP must really suck if you guys do a post about it.

I have a HP laptop and it works just fine. There hasn't been any problems with it since I got it, which is almost 2,5 years ago.

You should find some way to get something in compensation from Hewlett-Packard. I'm sure that there are a few customer service tricks that you could use to your advantage.

HP is very good at compensation. I had set up a computer for my cousin a year ago and it had a bade ethernet card in it, which I told straight up to the phone support/quickie mart manager. He told me I hade to bring it to best buy so the "geek squad" (they suck, especially now) and geek squad said that there must have been some firmware not properly updated. That's fine, that could be a fix. Well, two weeks later the card flakes out again. We called HP and got a run-a-round like mad, then my cousin got very upset, and we got transfered to canada, where a guy simply said send it in, and they sent back 10 times the computer we sent out. They went from having a 300 dollar pos, to a machine easily worth 1.5k.

Hassle asside, they made ammends.

Heck. I wouldn't buy a computer from those goons either.
