great bang for the price [Posted on 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.
Terrible service, nice screen. Don't buy. [Posted on 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.

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.

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.
Tech Support makes this a computer to avoid! [Posted on 2008-03-02]
When I first brought this computer home I was thrilled. It had a dazzling screen display, fast and a delight to use. But after 4 months it stopped performing so well. I didn't buy it to play games but after trying out some of the trial games I got hooked. But now the games and videos do not work as well as they did at first. Performance is choppy at best and tech support is absolutely the worst I have ever experienced! I passed up buying a Toshiba because the price on the HP was attractive and in the past tech support had been stellar. No more, I've tried phone support and was frustrated that I couldn't understand the tech because of her accent. She was clearly "researching" was we went along. Nothing helped. Next I tried email support. That too was a fiasco. They are now ignoring my emails. If I could do over I would buy the Toshiba. If you value your sanity skip this computer.
