HP Pavilion dv9580us Notebook PC.......2007-10-08
A good computer once it is started but it takes a lot in being ready from turned off. From time to time the webcam does not work and it is necessary a reebot.
DV9543cl.......2007-09-29
This product is horrible. Their tech support is disgraceful. when i first got this product i had it for less then 2 weeks before the wireless card died. then 3 weeks later i got it back. less then a week after that the computer crashed. I had to start from scratch again. then the internal wireless card died again. i would never tell someone to get it it is horrible.
Terrible service, nice screen. Don't buy........2007-09-21
Absolutely the worst, most frustrating tech support I have ever encountered. Any computer can have problems. To have to do 4 destructive recoveries, return the laptop twice for service and still have the same problems is unacceptable. Then to be assigned a case manager whose voice mail has no more space for messages is an insult. Finally they give you a phone number to call corporate. It is always busy. It has been 5 months of countless hours on hold and conflicting and uninformed instructions from barely intelligible "techies".
DON'T BUY UNLESS YOU HAVE MASOCHISTIC TENDENCIES.
great bang for the price.......2007-08-17
As everyone else, I did a lot of research online, in-stores such as bestbuy,costco, CC. I knew I was looking first, a 17" laptop, I'm not much into traveling or carrying, so 17" was my choice. Then 2nd, I looked for graphics slighlty above average, not high end to broke me, but enough to play some FPS.
My first choice was Dell, but then wanted to have a nice looking one, which is what I got with this DV9540. It's heavy, but this is what you'd expect for a 17 incher.
I like the feature of finger reading, but I could live without it. I'd rather have integrated bluetooth.
Windows vista has all the looks and whistles, but I'd rather have XP's speed.
It takes a while to load Vista..you paid the price..
Note it was Hifef playing capabilities, but not through the CD/DVD bay.
Blue touch-buttons give a nice looking.
Overall is a good computer to surf, play music, but not for harcore gamers..great value for the price.
A great, reasonably priced movable desktop.......2007-08-12
The HP 9540 laptop is a well designed and equipped desktop replacement, with the only major drawback being that given its weight and width it is more of a movable desktop than a laptop. If you are not planning on traveling much with the 9540, this is one of the better featured machines available today. 5 stars for the combination of price and features despite its bulk.
This review was written on a HP 9543, with the only major differences between that model and the 9540 being that the 9543 has a T7300 processor and a whopping 320 GB of hard drive space between the two 5400 rpm 160 GB SATA drives installed, likely the largest storage space available on a laptop below the two thousand dollar range. The first thing noticeable about the 9540 series is the screen, which compares favorably to anything Sony or Apple puts out and is simply huge at 17" and usable for business software with 1440x900 resolution. Compared to some 15" widescreens, this 17" is very difficult to abandon for a smaller laptop since it does pretty much everything well and is just far too nice to look at. The second is the keyboard, which is essentially full sized, with a number key pad and a fairly responsive touchpad. It's worth noting a minor feature - the neon blue accessory lights that turn to orange when they're either used or off. While push buttons are normally more functional, the blue lights gave this almost a Dell XPS look and were surprisingly easy to get used to.
As far as the rest of the machine, it's got everything it should; input and output slots ranging from HDMI to what looks to be a PCMCIA slot, although like most modern laptops it omits parallel and serial ports for printers. The integrated webcam is not bad - think Creative Labs rather than Logitech - although the dual mic inputs are a nice touch. The highlight is the NVidia 8600, with a cooling system that pushes a solid amount of air out of the back of the machine and keeps it running quite cool for a laptop with a high end graphics card.
Two drawbacks. First, Vista is sluggish and a memory and battery hog, and HP doesn't offer this with XP Pro. (About the only good news is the sidebar with the clock and PC/Memory monitor integrate well primarily because the screen is so large.) Second, it's not a laptop. At 12ish pounds with battery and carrying case, like the old Compaqs this is a portable desktop. Traveling with this bulky a machine requires extremely wide carrying cases and the weight will give you a pinched nerve if you're not careful. Carrying it around campus is one thing, but if you're a road warrior this is probably not the machine for you.
Still, this is a great machine for the price. 5 stars, and if you can handle the size this should go to the top of your list.
