Should I buy now or wait untl it ships from the factory with Windows 7 ? Can some one tell me know if the HP Pavilion DV7-1260US works in Europe.

I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit (retail) with 4gb ram on my 1410. I can confirmed all drivers work right away - wifi, video, audio, hdmi, LAN, touchpad (though you might want to install the acer version). I have not tested the webcam but i'm sure it'll work. There is an update to the video driver and LAN. I agree with John. The dual core with the SU4100 processor should be out sometimes after windows 7 release. But the price may be over the $500 price mark. I think the SU3500 chip in the 1410 should be fine for most tasks - it can even handle 720P and 1080P files.

When I bought this laptop, I am sure that it was "New". I saw several that were used or refurbished and I did not want one of them. I do not recall seeing similar 'warnings' when I bought this product. In addition, it was over $500. I specifically wanted a Windows 7 machine and they are becoming hard to find. I've heard of too many issues with Windows 8. This machine has an Intel i3 chip and I would have preferred an i5 but could not find a Win 7 & i5 machine and I did not want to order one from Dell.. I'm satisfied with the laptop. My wife has a similar laptop that is 18 months old and she has not had any problems with it. Today, Dell still has a good name and is reliable.

Currently, mine runs on Vista. This machine had a huge problem with firmware and often it would not run within a month or two right out of the box. Such was the case with my machine. Unfortunately, I keep working with HP tech's until the warranty ran out and then they finally told me to send it back. They sent me a remanufactured machine that did work. You may want to check any forums to ascertain if 7, will run the machine? Hope that is somewhat helpful.

The Beats edition model of this HP laptop, I believe was only available from 2011-2012. It's a great laptop...I'm running 16GB of ram, and it performs beautifully with the i5 processor and the bonus Beats sound. I got lucky and picked it up refurbished for about 300 on Amazon and it works and looks flawless. The red backlit keys are a nice unique touch. Hope this bit of info helps. -Good luck!

i can certainly see the 390/690 units coming real soon ! i am going to wait for the 680 to be launched and then wait for a month or two for the price to stabilize and then take the plunge :-) BTW, amazon states that the 680 will be available for shipping in 2 -4 weeks .... not sure if that is a typo too...

It could be either. Mine originally came with XP last x-mas although it had said Win 7 Home-32.Be very clear and ASK if there is any question as to what it comes with. It is a nice laptop I used one at work until last year.Also be sure to read the sellers reviews carefully.

Does this mean that it does not work in Europe. This is the first time an laptop does not work with 220 V and 110 V due to his Accu. Could you please confirm this to me again, because I would use it primarly in Europe.

Dear Value Customer, To informed you the laptops and desktop we sell are already installed and comes with that certain operating system. The best solution is contact HP directly to see if they can customize the Desktop with Windows 7. There are laptops and desktop come with windows 7 but they will be last year models. If there any further questions feel free to contact us. Thank you, Blue Pandora LLC

It DOES NOT so watch it and consider you will need to add the operating system ($55-70) on e bay depending on which version you want. Also, mine came with two lousy gigs of memory and these are SODIMM's because this is a compact unit which means memory is expensive. I just purchased two 2GB sodimm modules for another $50 (the computer only has two slots) on eby as well so just be advised, plan on at least another $100 to get this thing working. I do recommend refurb HP machines because these are business grade machines and they're built like tanks but just know what you're getting.

Thankyou J.Donaldson. Was it built to the same specs as the one on Amazon? If you write a review for it I'll be sure to read it. I'm deciding between this and the new hp dm1z.

Yes it is. The setup can be a little off on windows 7 as it tried to install it to a wrong port. HP was great. A quick call and they fixed it. If you are using it on a network, the setup is no problem. I was setting it up through a USB. But again, HP was quickly able to fix it

we have a HP Pavillion dv7 and it works great. Our lap top does not have the 1130us letter after the dv7.

Yup, just remember to go to the European support site to get drivers ect as this seems to be a model imported from Europe for European sales.

That's right. I bought mine from Amazon in february and so far I haven't had any problems with it. I was worried since I live in Venezuela and the laptop might break down. I'm writing this review with my Asus. It's refurbished but runs and looks like new.Thank God.

Mine came with 8.1 pre-installed. There was minimal updating required. I believe this is because 8.1 has been out for a while now (long enough for HP to update its pre-installed software).

I doubt that's correct with newegg.com. I think they just wrote that, and will update accordingly. I do hope Amazon gets more in stock. I bought a ul80vt, but want to exchange it. However cannot get it exchanged obviously, since there is none to exchange it with. I love the laptop and just hope they get some new ones soon.

Did you manage to upgrade the RAM - I am holding on to my purchase for the same. I am comparing betn Aspire One 533 and 1015PED. Aspire one RAM upgrade is as nightmare as it was with eee pc 1008HA. Wondering what's the scene with this one.Please let us know.
