It's Been Awhile

It has been awhile my friends.

I have been without a working computer for a few weeks, and I have also neglected my blog - and that's not right.

But I'm back! And that is the most important thing.

I have my laptop working again. Who knows for how long. I bought a HP Pavilion tx 1000 tablet pc laptop three years ago. What a stupid idea that was. At the time I didn't know I had bought one of the worst laptops of all time. This thing is a lemon, and because I have not had it repaired more than 4 times, my warranty is no longer vaild - it ran out yesterday. I have had this thing repaired three times, all for the same reasons, the motherboad shortens out because of overheating and causes the screen to not function when turning the laptop on. If I had the laptop repaired three times within the warranty and brought it back a 4th time, within the warranty of course, I would have had it replaced.

So, in short, that's $1,399.00 I'll never get back. So be warned, never buy from HP. Not only do they create faulty products, but they don't back their work either. This brand of laptop is a lemon. There are thousands of people that have had this same problem. HP said they will never issue a recall and they are unaware of this problem.

I don't believe it.

I believe they are aware of the problem and in the end it is too costly to repair all of the models which are effected. Instead, they will wait until your warranty has expired and then offer that they will fix the problem for $400.00 out of your own pocket. Now, it was fixed under warranty 3 times, and for no cost, so the warranty paid for itself - but they should have the decency to back a product and make the repairs if it is something they messed up.

Anyways, I am back, and with all the ranting aside, I hope to write about more in the upcoming days.

Thanks for reading as always. I do appreciate it!
