 HP lost my business forever Dec 10, 2008
I have to say, it was really a combination of HP and Vista that did it. But this past week, my laptop adapter started smoking and caught fire. Yes...it actually caught fire. Thank goodness I was home, because I might not have had a home to come back to. So I call HP with my tale of woe, like...for the typical American, this is lawsuit territory, and I'm told I'll be overnighted an adapter. The next day it doesn't come, so I call back to ask WTF, since I have no way of charging a laptop I need to use. I'm then told they don't overnight parts, that it hasn't even been shipped out. OK, so now I have no way to use my laptop since the battery is completely dead. Having owned an IBM, this is completely absurd, since IBM went out of their way to get parts next day.
Now, for why the thing caught fire...the power plug is located on the right side of the computer. The geniuses at HP give you a straight adapter, which means if your power source is on the left side of your laptop, the cord will constantly be bent. Straight adapters are supposed to be used when the power plug is located on the back of a laptop. L adapters are more suitable for side plugs. I was told they'd be shipping out an L adapter to prevent this from occurring again..lie #2. At this point, I'm completely disgusted with their customer service.
Also, I've also had a problem with the mouse pad. The mouse seems to do whatever it wants...there's no way you could do precision work on this laptop, because the mouse jumps and clicks whatever it feels like. After several driver updates, it still didn't fix itself, so I have to send it in to HP.
All in all, this laptop experience has been a miserable one for me. My last HP was great, which is why I bought another but I think now I'll take the plunge into Apple for my next laptop.
 Great laptop! Sep 07, 2008
I have had this laptop now for almost a year. I haven't had any of the major issues that others are complaining about. I have had a few minor issues though like the touchpad issue. I used the touchpad when I first received the laptop, but I hate touchpads anyways because I'm too heavy handed and I always end up clicking things that I don't intend to so I just turned it off and bought a wireless mouse.
I also don't like the fact that the battery connector is on the same side that I have to use my mouse on because it is an annoyance as pointed out by another reviewer. I would upgrade the battery also.
The laptop does get EXTREMELY hot though. I haven't had any issues related to it yet, but it scares me how hot it gets!
I have absolutely no problems with the wireless card. My laptop is NEVER disconnected from the internet unless I disconnect.
I love the memory card slot on the side which means I don't have to carry around any extra USB cords for my digital camera.
The webcam is great. I had some problems with the pc not being able to find it a few times when I first got the laptop and it took a few reboots to get it to recognize the thing. After some driver updates, it works fine now and the quality is excellent.
This laptop is loaded with great features and products. The only thing that I recommend would be to DEFINITELY upgrade your memory. After almost a year using this laptop, I am finally going to give in and upgrade as the pc is not running as fast as it did when I first got it, but I think that is due to me loading all of my crap on the laptop that runs 24/7/365!
All in all, great pc for the price I paid. It's so lightweight and I take it everywhere I go! I haven't come across any issues to make me want to downgrade the rating, so I have to give it 5 stars based off my experiences with it.
 great computer, great price Jun 29, 2008
I bought this computer 8 months ago and downgraded it from vista to XP. Everything is perfect so far, but keep in mind that this is not a very powerful computer, so if you want it to play graphically heavy games or stuff like that this is not a good choice for you. perfect to play movies, music, and to work on it (ms office, etc.) and to browse over the internet as well.
If you want to keep vista it may be a good idea to buy another 1gb ram memory, for better performance, but if you downgrade it to XP like me it performs much better just as it is, however, HP doesn't provide support for this downgrades, so it might be a little bit difficult if you are not experienced.
AS IT COMES I'D GIVE IT 4 STARS, BUT IF YOU DOWNGRADE IT IT'S JUST GREAT 5/5
Good Laptop, May 10, 2008
After 2 months with this laptop I don't have any complains, although it's true that the memory is not enough that's easy to fix. I think that it heats up a lot sometimes, but my girlfriend's MacBook does the same. On the other hand, it's very light and elegant (lighter than her MacBook but not as fancy as hers), its size it's perfect, the touchpad it's very annoying but I'm getting used to it. I like it very much it's exactly what I was looking for
Nice kick for great price May 05, 2008
I own this laptop (dv2610us) for about six months now and I am still happy with my purchase. Sure there were some little problems here and there but nothing crucial. For instance, there are times when the battery monitor does not come up on the screen as it should (Notification Area of the Taskbar). To solve that issue I power down, remove the battery and re-insert it again. I do this only when the System Icon for Power is not activated for my to check it.
The most alarming problem I've had was that the keyboard and touch pad was not working at all !!! To survive I used an external mouse with the on-screen keyboard to put in my password, etc. This issue was not HP's fault however, it had to do with an software upgrade (was it the BIOS ? can't remember) and a friend of mine remedied that problem.
All in all I do enjoy using this laptop and am glad I didn't go bigger or smaller. I friend of mine has the 15.4" version but to me that one feels like a waste of space and added weight (although small difference).
The preloaded games are kinda cool as well, as a means of de-stressing. I loaded CSI Miami game on it as well it managed it alright. Smooth, really better than I expected. No hiccups when I use the wireless but I haven't used that frequently, most times I just plug in the Ethernet cable and zoom zoom.
For the price I payed plus free shipping, this laptop definitely gives a good kick.
