Great performance, shoddy craftsmanship, November 8, 2011
I love this computer. Absolutely head-over-heels love it. It’s compact and light enough for me to carry to and from class without breaking my back (can’t say this of my old, 7-lb Dell!). They keyboard feels WONDERFUL. Construction feels solid. Beautiful design. Really amazing specs- same hardware as a MacBook Pro!- for half the price. The trackpad is a tad finicky, but I’ve adjusted the settings so it works for me. It’ll take a tiny bit of getting used to, but there’s an adjustment period with any new computer. I’m super happy with my purchase, and with the SquareTrade warranty I bought with the computer, I see us having a long, happy life together!EDIT: I just realized that the keyboard on this computer has a strange hill in the center, like it’s being squeezed or something. It doesn’t interfere with typing at all, but a brand new computer shouldn’t have this kind of defect. What’s more, when researching this computer, this was one of the things someone cited as a flaw in a review on another website, so I guess it happens fairly frequently. I didn’t mention in the first draft of my review that this is my second of this model of computer; I bought the first one at Staple’s a couple of weeks ago and had to return it because it had a faulty “W” key and a really jumpy track pad. I’ve noticed that this track pad is kind of inconsistent, and maybe more finicky than I previously thought. These design flaws have me considering returning the machine, but you just can’t find this kind of hardware and gorgeous design for the same price point. Maybe I’ll just get another one… third time’s a charm, right?
DM4 laptop skip letter if you type fast, November 19, 2011
If you type reasonbly fast (i.e. 45wpm or above), you want to think twice before you buy any HP DM4-xxxx series of Pavilion laptop. I had a HP DM4-2070us and it skip letters like crazy after 3 months. Every 5-6 keystrokes you type will have one keystroke that is missed, that is, even though you did type that key, it will not appear on the screen. Or, you would hit the space bar or the Backspace key and it will not respond. I had to call and deal with HP Technical Support. They wasted my time trying out all kinds of stuff: Windows system restore point, uninstall and re-install keyboard drivers, full system recovery (that’s a fancy term for re-formatting your whole hard disc), etc., etc. All these attempts failed to fix the problem. After struggling with all these for over two weeks, I have to ship it back to HP Warranty Repair Center and that took two weeks back and forth. During those two weeks I was out without a laptop to do my work. The Warranty Repair Center replaced the keyboard and ship it back to me. Unfortunately, that does not fix the problem. HP is kind enough to replace it with HP DM4-2180us but the whole process took another 7 days. I would be happy if that solve the probelm. Unfortunately, when I get the brand new HP DM4-2180us, it has exactly the same problem — as soon as you type fast (over 45 wpm), the problem is obvious. I am not the only one with this problem. Use the two links below to take you to the HP Support Forum website and you will see different people with DM4-1165DX, DM4-1127 sb, DM4-2015dx, DM4-2070us and most recently, DM4-2180us having the same problem: [...]
Good for the price, December 14, 2011
i bought this amazing computer at 500 bucks and it is worth. i use perfectly adobe after effects, corel paint shop pro x3, world of warcraft and in low settings for gta iv. perfect for a student learning before buying a mega computer like HP envy or a macbook. For me is enough, because it has everything a teen needs. Buy Hp, they are cheap, great and good looking. Also i recommend amazon. it is great and with the prime account i bought it sunday and i recieved it wednesday, at 11:30 am. And the shipping was free.
very good deal, January 9, 2012
A good deal for a very good price, much better than I first thought. A Fully loaded device in a nice and prestigious look.
Do not buy, December 30, 2011
The keyboard is silver which makes it hard to see. It’s heavy and hard to carry. Though I am still using it, it has had to be repaired many times for overheating. I have to have a laptop cooler on it at all times to prevent over heating and use it in short time periods.
