HP laptop computers? Never again!

Finally, I can draw a conclusion for me and for you: If you are considering buying a HP laptop, don't. No, unless you have a very good reason that it should be HP.

Having witnessed several generations of HP laptops can I just say that if you can choose another brand, choose Acer, Asus or Samsung, not HP.

Yes, HP laptops works. And if you don't care to details and only on the price/quality ratio, you're probably fine with the brilliant producs that HP announcement. But if you are looking for mature, consistent, well chosen and professional equipment, which allows you to go beyond running a graphic application 0815 and Microsoft Office, better, we recommend that you avoid HP wherever possible.

You want to use Linux? Do not buy a HP laptop.

You want to configure your computer to fit your needs? Do not buy a HP laptop.

You want a working BIOS? You certainly don't want to buy HP then.

You want to update your hardware? Better not to buy HP?

In all these cases and many more you should stick to brands that are not cheap, underdeveloped main components for a typical bloated. In particular, you want to save you the trouble of permanent hardware failures and badly executed repairs.

HP 2011 members far behind its competitors, who offer flexible, powerful BIOS, hardware solid and mature and well balanced. If these days, the most impressive setting BIOS HP have to offer updates the system clock and the boot order, even if you don't know what that means and what other options he * could * be, believe me, you want to steer clear of HP laptops.

These are things that you won't see in looking at the specifications of the laptops, offering with speed and size. Quantity over quality, finally, you'll notice quality issues.

PS: I want to emphasize that this does not constitute a critique of the HP hardware in general. In addition to a field, HP has a long and rich history of the creation of high-end hardware. But laptops are quite simply not be area of HP. At least not to the level that would be called "professional":

Finally, I can tell you some good news: HP has voluntarily accepted the responsibility for the failure, and - one year warranty left - has decided to resume the laptop.

I'm still not satisfied with their laptops, but HP turned out once more a reliable company, after all, you can count on including customer support. Maybe I just had very bad luck. I'll stick with their calculators, though...

  • Three laptop computers and benefits

    What are the benefits of having three laptop computers (two panoramas purchased in 2007 and 2009 and a W7 in 2010)?  Since I have access to computers outside my home and at work every day, I use these computers portable "home" to the local library or Starbucks, or at home, for a total of about 10-15 hours per week.  In view of the 'rule' on the purchase of a new computer and also my interest for the loading of black & white oldie films on You Tube, much more quickly than in 15-20 minutes, I'm going to start EXPERIMENTING with one of the three computers laptops etc. 5-7 years, I have now and barely use, IN DESINSTALLANT about half of the 65 PROGRAMS & FEATURES and turning OFF also about 50% of startup items , as well as the Services OF BOOST PERFORMANCE & SPEED and I hope that load much faster films.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    You should ask AT & T company, your Mobile or cable what they offer. 0.6 MB/s is slow for me. I live on a mountain and only high speed available here is cell. Cell phone is expensive but my speed is great to 21.6 Mbit/s and only because I live near a tower. Distance and movement affects the cell speed. Your best bet is cable.

  • WRT120N is no longer recognized by laptop computers

    I'm not sure where the problem lies, so I'm going to review everything that happened so I can hopefully get an answer. Any help is VERY appreciated.

    We ran a few portable computers (Acer Aspire 5517 on Vista) off the coast of our wireless router WRT120N. We have hooked to a wireless modem. All signs show that the modem and router are working well. The wireless network we were using, I'll call it network-1, stopped to appear as an option in the wireless connect menu. Previously all laptops can connect to the network-1 wired or wireless without problem. I don't know what happened to start the problem, but the network-1 is thus more a wireless network option.

    When I have a laptop from wire to the router, it connects to the internet and says it is currently connected to the network 1. But when I try to connect to the network wirelessly via a wired connection, the new network, I put does not appear in the connection menu. When I try to configure the router again (while the computer is connected), I get the error message "Windows doesn't detect any wireless network hardware. It seems that, although I am able to get internet connection through the router, the computer does not recognize it.

    One laptop is able to connect wirelessly via another network (Network-2). Looks like that Network-2 has been set up automatically by the laptop. Another laptop has Network-2 as an option, but it indicates that the network security key is bad. I have no idea what could be the password, the computer which is running network-2 automatically connect, I don't have to type a password. I don't know what happened here, if it's two different connections with the same name, or if it's the same thing. I don't even know if this is relevant.

    Yet once, SO we would be grateful for any help!

    Well I think that for some reason any the wireless settings of your router must have reset to zero, that is the reason why you can not see the name of your wireless network. If you need to you computer to the router and connect on the router configuration page and change the settings of your router wireless.

    Open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER... Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...

    For wireless settings, follow these steps: -.
    Click on the Wireless tab

    -Here, select manual configuration... Wireless network mode must be mixed...
    -Provide a unique name in the name box of the wireless network (SSID) in order to differentiate your network from your network of neighbors...

    -Set the Standard - 20 MHz Radio band and change the Standard channel to 11-2, 462 GHz... Wireless SSID broadcast should be enabled and then click on save settings...
    Please take note of the name of the wireless network (SSID) because it's the network identifier...

    For wireless security: -.
    Click the sub-tab under wireless > Wireless Security...

    Change the mode of WPA wireless security, encryption, select TKIP. Password input your desired WPA key. For example, MySecretKey, this will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and do not forget the key.

    NOTE: The password must be more than 8 characters...

    Click the settings advanced wireless

    Change the tag to 75 interval, change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 and click on save settings...

    Now let's see if you can locate your wireless network and try to connect...

  • Elements 8 and laptop computers UltraHD

    Hello

    I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on my Windows 7 home. I have a 21 inch Full HD (1080 pix) and everything works fine with a great resolution. I have never felt the need for item-level, because the version I have satisfied my needs. There are versions of new item every year to come, but I don't see any major improvement, only the new stuff which no real added value to the software. I guess that's part of the business logic that we live in today.

    Anyway, as I travel a lot I thought to buy a 15-inch laptop to be able to edit my photos so that I'm missing. I have seen that some manufacturers such as Dell or Asus offers screens of laptops with a resolution HD Ultra (2160 pix), which is twice the Full HD resolution. Don't you think that element 8 will work with a Full HD screen?

    Thank you very much!

    Kind regards

    If you mean that if I use PSE8 on a computer laptop UltraHD the fonts menu in the Organizer, software editing Photo and Camera Raw will be displayed much too small, as well as for example the tool icons in the editor?

    Yes, a lot of posts on this problem on old versions of many programs.

    When you say that PSE13 and 14 can display these fonts from the menu at 200% size, you mean they can also if poster fonts correctly without magnifying glass to 200%, right? Then the fonts displayed 200% without problem?

    Yes, the ability to adjust your view to 200% fact display fonts and icons to an appropriate size while keeping the high resolution for the images that you change.

    Note that the 200% feature is implemented in the editor. It does not work in the Organizer, which uses instead of the ability of Windows to change the "chipping" of your fonts freely, 125, 150, 200%. Two different ways. The editor ignores the settings of Windows, the Organizer does not account the functionality of 200% of the editor.

    ' "I'm sure you'd be very satisfied with a 15" display with a resolution of normal ": Do you mean that I sew, buy a computer 15 "laptop with a normal Full HD resolution and use my PSE 8 instead of the upgrade?

    Before hidpi views are available, you can work comfortably in the editor without problem and organizer. "In my opinion, it's the hidpi poster which are ' only of the new stuff that don't real added value to the software" feature is great for small screens on smartphones and tablets, but your eyes can compensate for the small size in inches, which is obvious with the fonts and menus. The use of elements means spending a lot of time looking at the screen. That means forcing your eyes or looking for loved ones to small fonts. Not ergonomic at all. Outside available to interface, the image itself is always seen with constant zoom for a global or detailed view. Absolutely no benefit for the hidpi screens.

    You can of course install PSE8 on a "standard" definition screen Same Full HD would give small fonts, but it's ok for me.

    Do you know that if for example I work/adjust my pictures with PSE14 on my laptop, I can then copy it to a USB key, transfer of my computer at home to put them in PSE8 Organizer and still be able to keep games version I defined in PSE14? I will be able to work more images in PSE8 editor then?

    Your problem is common for people who want to edit and organize the place of their computer.

    Of course, you can edit your images, assign a print, write metadata in tags and use a USB stick for transfer to your main office. Who will "import" of these files with their labels, but not the version games, albums or batteries, which are kept in the catalog.

    With elements, the general solution is to keep your catalog and your image on an external drive files (pretty small and inexpensive today). You plug the external hard drive Alternatively. Just put the drive letter the same on both computers.

    With Lightroom, there is another solution: mobile of Lightroom, but it's a different story.
