Is this laptop anygood? Most of them have bad reviews bcuz the operating system corrupted which was windows vista 64bit, but this one comes with windows 7. This is an entertainment laptop, but I am NOT A GAMER AT ALL! this unit will be used for school work, Photoshop, power point presentation, and web surfing. Users also had problems with the fan and the computer overheating... Sorry for this post being sooooo long, but is this a good buy? Btw, it is factory refurbished, not by HP , but by a local tech team, and is $445 flat, no shipping charge or tax. What do u think? It has a 30 day warranty. Do you think it is a good buy? or can you recommend what would be a good computer for Photoshop, college work, power points, and websurfing?

- Um...what's your question? All I see is computer specs, which is more of a statement than a question.
- The DV series has always had issues with the VGA overheating, most commonly in the 6000 and 9000 series.
You should note that the waffle says it comes with the Windows 7 upgrade disc from HP, it does not actually say it comes with W7 installed!
Specs wise it is pretty good, but you should also note that the waffle says nothing about warranty (unless you didn't include it). If it has no warranty do not touch it, with a three month warranty you are still risking a fair bit but is better than none at all.
- Theres a few problems with it.
Its a Dv series which is known for over heating.
It has an Amd Turion processor, which are known for over heating and running slow
Its got crap for ram
Graphics card is ok
Its a refurb which means it may have been left on 24/7 for how ever old it is. Its life could be very short due to this. For around $600 you can buy a good new laptop which will last you about 4 years. IMO and from what i have seen Dell is awful, Hp is a little better but still bad, Acer is hit or miss, Asus is hit or miss, Sony is Good, Apple is great, Toshiba is great. Dells will last about 2.5 years average and Toshibas will run until they are completely obsolete 5 years average.
In short if you want to gamble with $450 i would do it else were for a better deal. Check out best buy, sams club, newegg, etc. Someone that will back the product.
