Adoro esta computadora, tiene un buen peso, fácil de transportar, es rápida, funcional, tiene un excelente diseño, y lo mejor de todo que tienes en una buena computadora en tus manos a un bajo precio.
Pro.
Tiene buen peso y tamaño.
Es rápida, debido a los 3Gb. de memoria ram que posee.
Tiene un switch de las funciones de wireless, para mayor facilidad de activar y desactivar, es muy útil.
Tiene 250Gb. de discoduro.
Buen diseño por dentro y por fuera.
Contra.
Se calienta mucho, aunque no me a mostrado problemas por eso.
Las teclas del mice se pusieron flojas y a veces hacer clic solas, te recomiendo comprar un mice externo.
Te la recomiendo...
Perfect for my needs 2008-03-29
I've been using this computer for about a month now and so far it has been everything I could have hoped for.

I charm, I think it is one of the product that can be bought for the price and components that have, I have already around one month with the computer and I had no problem
Love it! 2008-03-23
I've had this laptop approx 2 weeks. I first saw it over Christmas and the design attracted me immediately. I was wary of switching to Vista but so far I haven't had any complaints. For those who can't find how to turn off the those "request permission to access this program" prompts, I found the option to turn it off somehwere in the depths of User accounts/Parent controls, I'm at work right now so the exact location eludes me. I haven't tried out the camera yet (I'm on 12 hour days, no way i'm going to get a cute picture of myself lol).
Going from a 15.4 to a 14.1 feels weird, I'm used to splaying my fingers out on the keyboard, which in the first few days was a bit maddening since I kept hitting the quickplay/dvd buttons. I love the remote although i've felt it was a bit picky about my media player, Media Monkey or iTunes, sometimes the remote will control it, other times not. The same goes for the skip/backwards/etc buttons. Also the placement of PG UP/PG DN/DELETE and so on is a taking some getting used to.
Still trying to weed out the bloatware but I had less than 35 gigs on my last laptop to transfer so i'm not hurting for space anytime soon.
Only slight complaints I have are about the wireless switch and the quickplay/dvd button. The wireless switch should definitely click into place. I often use it while in bed or sprawled out on the couch and I've gotten disconnected and didn't even know...it's quite flimsy. There should be a way to disable the quickplay/dvd button's or change it's sensitivity (unless I haven't found it yet). I'm sure over time I'll notice it less and less.
Overall, I love it because it's light which is great because I travel a lot for work, plenty of space for my music/movies, the design is loverly and fashionable (I was quite sick of black/white/gray), the media options, sound and clarity. I'm sure I'll think of more things that i love but those are the ones off the top of my head.

I have purchased an HP pavilion notebook, and have had it for a little over a year. First, the wireless internet went out on it, which HP replaced under warranty. Then the speakers went out exactly 14 days after the warranty expired. HP refused to do this under warranty. Then the power button became almost impossible to use, so I basically have to leave it in standby.
A word on the flashy appearance- while it looks really nice, it is acutally a really poor design from a functional standpoint- the slick surface gets uncomfortable after a brief use, the power button is obviously poorly constructed, and the touch pad is uncomfortable as well.
The battery life has been consistently bad. I've now had it just over a year, and I get about 45 minutes on a full charge.
As for customer service, HP is terrible.
However, you don't need to take my word for it- Look at the November 2007 issue of Consumer Reports. You'll find that HP's customer service is rated very poorly, their quality is bad, and that overall, other products are rated higher, and for a lower price.
Customer Support? Right 2008-04-21
A lot of folks have run into problems with HP customer support. Problem is that this is outsourced (shame on you HP). In February customer support had us ship my wife's HP back for repairs. After numerous calls and no update to the website, we were about ready to give up. A local radio hotline show recommended sending a snail mail to higher ups, so we sent letters, polite but firm, with all the details, to the HP CEO and VP of consumer product services. Less than a week later we were contacted by a customer quality control supervisor. My wife now has a new computer. Hopefully this one doesn't belly up on us.
Good Laptop 2008-04-07
It's a good computer. It has all the things I need in a very good price.
Light, Stylish and Powerful 2008-04-06
This is an overall great laptop if you're looking for a desktop replacement that doesn't have the weight of a desktop tower. In the past my laptop purchases were based solely on CPU speed, video card capabilities, etc. without taking into consideration the main reason I'm buying a laptop, for portability!!
This time around I factored in the stress my shoulder will bear every day that I take my laptop from my house to the office and back. As far as HP laptops are concerned it is the only brand of laptop I have owned that I have never had any problems with. This time around I decided to stick with HP because of the reliability, the look, and of course the capabilities of the laptop.
An overall great value! The DV2740SE is a feature packed, practical laptop for everyday carrying and use! Love it!! Thanks HP!!!
Great stability and performance! 2008-04-05
Great stability and performance. I use my HP Pavillion dv2000 for audio production and I recommend it 100%.
