“I don’t have to have the latest and greatest, but this is an amazing machine, and I’d recommend it others without hesitation.”

I wouldn’t... I was part of the original class lawsuit against HP in 2007 because their HP DV6 series were lemons due to faulty chips. When HP falls, I’ll be the first to celebrate.

I’m sorry to hear that. Don’t blame you one bit either.

You know, it’s hard to think of a computer company going under that sells literally thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of them on the shopping networks.

Hope you’ve found a better company’s products to run with.

Take care.

Wasn’t just the DV6 series. It was the entire DV series period.

They all had faulty video. They would overheat, then break loose the solder joints from the motherboard.

HP’s fix. replace the motherboard with ANOTHER faulty motherboard. Un-frigginbelievable.

They paid out the ass on that one. And they should have.

When HP started in the 30’s their concepts of ideas and how to treat employees was brilliant and nearly unheard of.
It was a fantastic company to be part of....great products and fantastic employee relations.
They had no debt, extremely low turn over, exemplary HR staff that treated employees well.
Each building almost operated as a small company, great loyalty.
I knew people who had other opportunities but couldn’t bring themselves to take other jobs, that’s how much people loved working there.
When Carly was made CEO she killed them.
The day she was fired, the employees celebrated, but her firing happened to late, they were already dead.

LOL! What's this? I'm still using a DV6000 I bought back then and never heard of this.
