Going on 5 months and still works as well as it did the first day out of the box. |
| I have the dv1040 which is the original model of the dv1000's with the centrino processor. I bought it as a close-out in mid-february and it's still working great. I've been particularly impressed with its structural integrity and it has consistently remained quite fast as well. There hasn't been a day where I regretted buying it. I realize this is a previous model, and since then they have upgraded the processor and given you more hard drive space than one could ever need, however it should resemble the newer ones fairly closely and give you an idea of what your in for through the long haul. |

Got it all in a small package |
| This is the best value computer around! 100g hard drive, DVD+/-R, widescreen truebrite display, built in wireless connection, even a remote that stores inside the pci slot! Battery life is excellent also, lasts 3+ hours without recharging. Definately pick this one up if you are limited on your budget. |

Great specs, but has electrostatic emmissions problems |
| I purchased the dv1170us from Best Buy mid Feb 2005. After two weeks, the computer started freezing. After calling techincal support, they transferred me to the product engineers. Come to find out there is an electro-static emmission problem on this model. When touching the left front speaker, the unit freezes. The engineers are working to fix this problem. So far, my laptop has been in two times for this issue. I would stay away from this laptop for at least 2 months (thats how long it usually takes to flush out excess inventory from their factor in China). Other than this one problem, I think this will be a great product. You can contact the support engineers directly at 866-671-7359 to get more informatio on this issue. Hope this helps folks considering this laptop. |
