Such bad reviews, but they all appear to be about Amazon. Does anyone actually own this PC? Have you had any problems out of it?

My answer is I will never buy another computer through Amazon again. My Laptop has had nothing but problems and amazon won't take it back nor will HP! I have only had it since the end of July 2013 and it has crashed on me numerous times. Buyer Beware!

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

It is a total piece of garbage. They won't help you when you call they will offer you to buy fix it disc for an additional $29.99 which will come in the mail so you're without your computer while you wait for that to arrive. I returned mine and bought an HP Pavilion. Thanks to Amazon they made it easy to return. Get rid of it! I'm not a gamer either! I'm a teacher who doesn't have time for baloney. The Acer and its people are baloney!!

I have not tried to down grade this from Windows 8 to Windows 7 yet. I did a lot of searching of online reviews of this computer, before I bought it. Somewhere I saw someone complained when they down graded it from Windows 8 to Windows 7, and they had a problem with finding drivers for some of the computer components, but I cannot find that review (This may have been on another HP Desktop, but not sure). Best Buy has a lot more reviews on this exact computer, and here is the posted link. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+ENVY+Desktop+-+10GB+Memory+-+1.5TB+Hard+Drive/7479285.p?id=1218847153040&skuId=7479285&strId=468&strClr=true "I was reading some of the review on the best buy website and a couple of them did put Windows 7 on their machines. One was a 3 star review and the second one was a 4 star review. You might want to try and ask the person who posted that review the same question and see if they are happy with the down grade. Also I was shown where to download the Start Button for Windows 8, and this has made my life a lot easier using this computer. Here is the link for the start button for Classic Windows 8. http://www.classicstart8.com/. I'm too chicken to try and down grade the operating system, because this is my only working desktop right now. I did add in a used blue-ray player from my last dead HP Desktop, and I only had to upgrade the Cyberlink PowerDVD software to 13, and the blue-ray works just fine. I hope this helps you out with your question.

yep, last summer. It was actually quite easy. I had no idea that Amazon sold so many computer components. It's especially good for PC gaming.

I can't speak for my experience with hard drives on Amazon, but I've dealt with other items I wanted to order that were under review and they were only unavailable for a few days. Also, a certain hardware website named after an item a chicken produces has these drives for the same price right now, if you're dead set on this drive. A lot of us have had bad experiences with them, so I am not comfortable advising people to take the risk, but it seems more people have had success than failure. And of course, Amazon has a decent return policy so you can put the drive through its paces and return it if they have problems, if you're willing to do so. Good luck!

What's going on here? Has anyone been notified that their UL80vt shipped? I sent amazon an email about this asking what is going on as I perordered under the assumption that they have the laptops ready for the 22nd. Now they don't even know when they're getting them??? Maybe I should cancel and order through another online store eh amazon?

There was a bundle available earlier this year when I made the purchase. The motherboard, i7-2600 processor and 16GB of Corsair RAM with shipping was just over six hundred dollars. It runs great!!

Agree- price gouging and Amazon should take the high road and disallow it. Gouging is taking advantage of supply restraints by raising the price artificially. Doesn't have anything to do with if you actually buy or not to be gouging. It is gouging by definiton. Look it up. But don't give em the satisfaction. Wait, be patient and shortly they will be everywhere. You have survived all this time w/out one-you can wait another month or two. Trust me, by then they will be easy to get. Why? Cuz a whole bunch more are coming down the pike and the wow factor of this one will diminish. Wait til Amazon announces their own quad-core one here shortly or when Samsung's sweet tablet hits the street, etc etc. I too would like to try one of these, but after seeing more than one review mention the case quality being poor and the unit actually separating where the front and back meet, I am skeptical. Thus, why I want to buy from someone like Amazon who has a liberal return policy. Could have bought one today at newegg no problem, but with a nonrefundable return policy-no way. They are out there, but buyer beware is what I say. I'm babbling...out.

Fred, Thank you very much for your interest! As you said, there are no reviews on this product. We have sold fewer of these units than we have sold other units and most of those were fairly recent. We take the same care and pride (if not, more... much more) in building these systems and they have the same standard warranty for 3 years and the same excellent customer service and customer care. We can only attest proof to our customer service based on the reviews found on our top-selling computer, found here: http://www.amazon.com/AAC-X4-Desktop-Computer-Processor-Bulldozer/dp/B005J0R4D2/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=ABBVAFMMPFLUN but we can assure you that this computer is made with more care and testing than any of our other computers because of how immensely powerful it is.

Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true. But i just went to zipzoomfly. you are so right. the computer by itself is 377 and the drive alone is 65. both cheaper than amazon. combined them and it goes to 359 for 1005HA-P and 40 for the drive. basically a drive for 10 dollars over amazon. then if the rebate is mail in and you get back 30, then you get paid 20 dollars to get a free drive. wish I had waited another day to buy mine. I am waiting to see how amazon deals with this. at the very least they should sell the drive for 35-40 dollars to those who already bought a machine in July. Amazon is not going to be pleased about your post. Bonnie,It sounded too good to be true.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

Good question, I was on a budget too, I think I spent 99$ on Amazon used by the way, no issues, check and see if they have any guarantees if it doesn't work can you send back type of thing

yeah, why are amazon product descriptions always so horribly incomplete? granted they can't place the item in my hot little hands for personal inspection of every detail but critical features like dimensions and power consumption are all-important would obviously aid the shopping experience. does this mean amazon is guilty of parasitically relying on brick and mortar dealers to sell their goods?wow what a whiner. maybe if I already had this fan to keep me cool...

Contact the company for a replacement through Amazon Support. One of mine also gAve my PC troubles. In the future, I would stay away from this brand. TLDR: Contact through Amazon for refund or replacement. This can be done through your Orders page.
