 I'm Satisfied With my Refurb Purchase July 16, 2010

I bought my G71 refurb through another vendor, I've only had it a week, but it works! Set my daughter up with her own user account. She's seven, comes home from school and has no problems with the G71. Syncing it with my wi-fi was simple. I bought a new desktop last year, and I was able to use it's Office '07 license to activate the Office '07 version on the G71. (I think a Microsoft license can be activated on three personal use pc's)
The screen is big & bright. The keypad has a friendly solid feel to it. I've seen other owners of new G71's talk about how quiet and unremarkable the speakers are, I don't have that issue with this refurb. It's not a boombox AND laptop, it's a laptop with built-in speakers, and that's what it sounds like. In fact, my daughter was playing an online game, and I had to turn the volume down, because I was trying to watch tv, and the redundant game music was driving me nuts.
I've put almost 2,000 music files on it, my photo-editing software, ftp, html, swish programs, and I'm not having any problems with them.
The only problem I am having is getting Win7 to fit my own photo as wallpaper, and not stretch it to fit the layout of the 17.3 screen. (but I feel confident that if I google the question, I can find an online resolution - for now I just crop my pic in my photo editor, and post it - easy peasy)
If the unit goes bad, I can adjust this review, but so far I'm happy having bought the refurb, and not the new one. (who knows, maybe the refurb version has better audio than the new version - or maybe not)
 This computer works great for a refurb August 16, 2010
Happy HP owner
I ordered this laptop as a media player for being in Afghanistan. First off let me say that everything that I needed this computer for it has more than lived up to my expectations. For the fella down there complaining about dropping of WiFi, I am in a foreign country where the internet is worse than the dial up connection in the USA and not once have I never had a problem with the wireless capabilities of this computer. As far as staying away from HP I wouldn't suggest it at all. Like I stated I am using this computer outside of the united states and it works just fine for a refurb. I highly recommend buying this computer if you are strapped for cash and dont really feel like investing a lot of money for a machine.
No audio, built-in amps are dead. September 1, 2010

This is a nice refurbished computer but it has no audio output or at least it's very weak. I think the built-in amps are dead. I'm using external speakers so it's not a big issue. Maybe if I had time and patience I could send it back for repair. Oh well. The screen is very nice and everything other than the audio is working great.
If the audio worked I would have given it 5 stars.
 Do Not BUY August 5, 2010

Let me start off by saying, the specs on this laptop are wonderful, especially for the price. For all practical purposes, this should be a great computer, refurbished or not. That being said...
I have had this computer for less than a week. The only issue that I have had with it, is getting connected online. I actually connected online for about 10 minutes. Then, out of the blue, the internet connection died but the laptop was still connected and visible to my network.
I am no novice when it comes to computers and am A+, Network+ Certified. This being stated, the obvious, "check the wifi light", "re-boot the computer", "check all other connections", and "check services" thing went without saying. I even tried giving it a static IP address, disabling all in encryption on my uverse router(even though the other 2 desktops, laptop, 2 cell phones and the wii were doing just fine), to see if that would fix the problem and it did NOT.
Finally, I contacted HP and after chatting with them online from another wireless laptop in the house for over an hour, they tell me to do a complete factory restore on a computer that is only a three days old (out of the box) and has nothing on it. WTF!!!
I am thoroughly disappointed in this Laptop and HP. Maybe, there are some of you out there who could think of some other ways to fix it that myself, the HP rep and the forums on this laptop couldn't. However; if you are not a techie person and are planning to buy a computer to use at home, ONLINE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!! I dont care if the factory restore works or not, this thing is going back.
P.S. The factory restore didnt work.
 Piece of garbage!!! July 10, 2010

Im at the point in my electronic life that if it says HP I avoid it. I have use a 15" HP Pav it died in 6 months of light use but the hard drive, video card and wireless cards failed. A Hp Touchsmart my X-GF had that I had to change the hard drive and reload the OS in with a dead wireless card in less than 5 months of purchase new. This 17" Pav bought new has been nothing but slow, crashes all the time, fails simple tasks non stop, and is just fail with windows 7. If it says HP avoid it, they build all their models with the same bin of cheap hardware, unreliable brands and methods used in every machine. HP/Compaq is a failed brand. If you want reliability try 1. Apple 2. Dell
