Average rating: Stars
Stars Cheap and dependable
I don't know about that other guy (who's on his 3rd one), but I've had the 501n since April of 2002 and so far, I have had 1 system breakdown, which was from user error. As for music downloads, 1.8 gigs of my HD are taken up by music and I have had no trouble. I was disappointed by the low processor speed of 1.2 GHz. I previously owned a mid-priced 1998 IBM with a 2.0 GHz processor. You would think the speed on my 2002 501n would be better!

Overall, I don't recommend this one. Steer clear of Windows units all together! Go get yourself a Mac!! They are WAY more stable, faster, user-friendly, and better looking than any Windows system.

Stars This computer is a nightmare
The HP Pavillion has some kind of flaw in the hard drive that causes continual system failure.

I first purchased the Pavillion in Nov. of 2001. It worked for a few weeks, then quit. I have since been through THREE (Yes, you counted right) replacement units with the SAME problem. There is some kind of glitch that causes a system failure. Just yesterday I had the motherboard replaced on the third unit. (It too quit functioning last week.)

I can't even allow my children to download any software on this system. It is too fragile/tempermental. I don't DARE download music files or anything else from the internet. We run the unit with fingers crossed and minimal software. Even then it still breaks down. What a disappointment.

To top it off, HP customer service (a toll call, btw..) is less than adequate. Nobody there really seemed to know what to say/do when I called with problems.

Run from this one. It's a DUD.
