 Excellent Laptop Dec 04, 2008
I have had this computer for almost a year now.. 10 months as a matter of fact and it has NOT failed me once! Its still as fast as when I bought it. The 3GB memory, 250 hard drive 2.10 Ghz processor... its just awesome and so light weight. Ive had a few other laptops in my life but this one here tops ALL other laptops.
 A Review After 6 Months of Ownership Oct 01, 2008
I bought this laptop in February 2008 after my previous HP Pavilion (1040US) finally bit the dust. I am an extremely heavy computer user and on many days, can spend between 12 to 16 hours working on my computer.
There were several reasons I bought this computer after owning another HP. When my previous computer died, I was in the middle of a project that had to be completed within a few days, and did not have the luxury of ordering and waiting for a computer online. I was attracted to the HP DV2718 because of its looks, its price and its impressive specs. I have no real complaints about its performance, and although it is somewhat laggy, I put more of that blame on Vista than on the machine itself. However, there are some negatives.
The wireless switch is POORLY located. If one uses this laptop as intended (on a lap), it is extremely easy to accidentally toggle the wireless switch. It is located on the front edge of the machine, and does not click into place, so the slightest brush is sufficient to move it.
The machine gets extremely hot under heavy usage. Unless placed on a hard surface such as a table, tray or book, the area around the fan gets HOT. It is not just warm, it is actually hot enough to be practically untouchable. This is symptomatic of the AMD chips, and although I am a fan of AMD, it is just unsuitable for this computer.
The power cord sticks straight out of the side of the machine. Because of this, bumps and contact against the side of machine has caused the AC port to feel wobbly over time. Furthermore, the powercord would have held up better had it been formed at a right angle to the machine - preventing fraying over time. If this was positioned on the back of the machine like previous generations of HP Pavilions, it would be much less of an issue.
When I pick this computer up, I usually lift it with my left hand, with my thumb on the area next to the touch pad, and the other four fingers at the bottom. Well, over time the plastic cover over the hard drive has developed a crack. Precisely, the crack has formed where the air slots joins the more solid part of the cover.
A more minor complaint I have is that there is no hardware switch for the built in webcam and microphone. On some chat clients, if your chat partner turns on video, it will automatically turn yours on too, which may lead to some embarrassing moments if not properly prepared.
Although the blue lights are a very pleasing color, there is a colored ring around the port into which the AC connector plugs in. This light stays on for as long as the machine is plugged in, which means that if you use this computer in bed, charging it through the night is annoying because of the distractingly bright light.
I hope this review is helpful. I greatly enjoyed my previous HP Pavilion, but I believe that less thought went into the design of this machine, than into its previous incarnations. Yes, it is a good looking machine, but in this case, function does not follow form.
 Too Many Flaws For The Price Aug 28, 2008
I only use a computer to surf the net and correspond via e-mail. The bells and whistles on most systems are meaningless to me. Nonetheless, I was persuaded to get a higher end computer with lots of memory and Hard Disc space on the premise that it would run faster and smoother. This one doesn't. Indeed, my 1 GB machines run faster. This one is very fast at startup, but that is it. In addition, if I allow the machine to go into sleep mode, the screen will stay dark. I must do a complete shut down, then re-boot. The touchpad is horrible - overly sensitive one minute then non responsive the next. The keypad, after three months use, has started to get very hard to use. In addition, occasionally the screen will suddenly go dark and the HP Media Center starts up by itself(and my fingers are nowhere near the touch sensors). Again, I am not a computer expert, but for my simple purposes this machine is a major disappointment.

avoid this computer Apr 28, 2008
I have purchased an HP pavilion notebook, and have had it for a little over a year. First, the wireless internet went out on it, which HP replaced under warranty. Then the speakers went out exactly 14 days after the warranty expired. HP refused to do this under warranty. Then the power button became almost impossible to use, so I basically have to leave it in standby.
A word on the flashy appearance- while it looks really nice, it is acutally a really poor design from a functional standpoint- the slick surface gets uncomfortable after a brief use, the power button is obviously poorly constructed, and the touch pad is uncomfortable as well.
The battery life has been consistently bad. I've now had it just over a year, and I get about 45 minutes on a full charge.
As for customer service, HP is terrible.
However, you don't need to take my word for it- Look at the November 2007 issue of Consumer Reports. You'll find that HP's customer service is rated very poorly, their quality is bad, and that overall, other products are rated higher, and for a lower price.
Customer Support? Right Apr 21, 2008
A lot of folks have run into problems with HP customer support. Problem is that this is outsourced (shame on you HP). In February customer support had us ship my wife's HP back for repairs. After numerous calls and no update to the website, we were about ready to give up. A local radio hotline show recommended sending a snail mail to higher ups, so we sent letters, polite but firm, with all the details, to the HP CEO and VP of consumer product services. Less than a week later we were contacted by a customer quality control supervisor. My wife now has a new computer. Hopefully this one doesn't belly up on us.
