Do not buy. This laptop lastes less than 2.5 years and for that kind of money I expected more. Turns out the problem is well known and yet they continued to sell this model. Before you buy, google hp pavilion dv7 won't wake up from sleep mode or dv7 won't boot up and read about it for yourself.
Loved this laptop until it just suddenly stopped working with no warning signs and no drops/spills/abuse/virus. Can't believe I spent over $700 and didn't even get 3 years out of it.
Hope this saves someone some money!I certainly am not a computer geek and have no intention of trying to provide you with a technical breakdown of the unit. The computer does what it is supposed to do based on the specifications. ( Oops haven't tried the fingerprint reader, I forgot!) What I really wanted to convey in this review is the fact that the laptop was recertified, refurbished, remanufactured, whatever!!! Without reading that statement on the box, I would have told you I have brand new laptop. I am sure that there are people out there that would probably rather pull their own nails out rather than buy a recertified unit!! I just wanted to tell you this isn't my first recertified unit nor do I expect it to be my last. I do not fear recertified!! And I am suggesting that if you want to get the most bang for your buck, recertified is definitely the way to go. Now as sure as God made little green apples, there is going to be someone outside who has purchased a recertified unit that might have been DOA and they want my tongue. Well people, that happens to new unit too! I love my laptop and the many features that go with it. At least think about what I have suggested!! Happy computing!
