I bought my HP pavilion dv4 model 2049 about 2 years ago. If I knew then what I know now about this product, I would have gone with something else. The laptop isn't necessarily awful, it just has a few problems then when you add all together create enough issues to annoy me enough that I am writing this review. I am a student who only uses my computer for basic needs homework, internet, research, etc. I never download anything or go to any shady websites.

First of all, I just purchased a new power cord the other day. It happens to be the 4th power adapter I have had to buy for this laptop. I have tried HP brand and generic replacement adapters, but nevertheless, in a few days there will be a fifth power cord Ive used with this laptop. They always fry up in a few months. I don't leave my computer plugged in more than the average joe, and I plug it into a surge protector.

Another thing Ive noticed over the past--probably 6 months now--is man does this thing overheat! It gets so hot that if you actually put it on your lap it would burn your skin. Sometimes it shuts itself down to avoid overheating. It didn't do it the first year and a half, and I realize that it could probably be fixed by installing some new fans. But really? After only 2 years?

Those are the two major issues I have wit this laptop. There are other little things that I do not like about it though. Like sometimes clicking noises randomly come from the hardware for no reason at all. Sometimes I am not even using it when it makes the noises. That is something its been doing since Ive had it.

Overall, its not terrible. But like I said, I wouldn't buy this laptop again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else either.
