WORST INVESTMENT

 

Purchased in 8/2008 as a bundle pack with printer, etc. By 5/2009 had already sent back to HP for warranty repair / replacement of hard drive. HP wouldn't extend the 1 yr manufacturer warranty on the "new" HD, and said any warranty on it would only be good thru 8/2009. (Seems like a new HD should be warranted for more than 3 months!) 12/2011 computer froze, wouldn't re-start. Took in for service and now the motherboard, CPU and memory need to be replaced. The motherboard for this HP has been discontinued by the manufacturer- wonder why- and Vista is now obsolete. Did not spend $850 on this to have it die after 3 years of mild use. BAD investment. Will not buy HP again!

No more HP for me.

Motherboard fried from normal use in 13 months -- 1 month after the warranty expires. That's the last HP computer I'll ever buy.

Great Machine

We have this computer for a few months now and have used it extensively without a single issue. Its powerful, fast, and the 500 gig hard drive is going to hold an enormous number of picture and music files. As I recall, I paid $579 and feel you can't...

Freezes all the time!

My dad bought this computer as our third HP for our house. He uses it primarily for internet use (email, research, etc.) NOTHING that would cause a memory drain and yet it still freezes at random! He's gotten so sick of trying to use it that it barely...

An Alternate Motherboard for the HP a6500f

I just finished swapping an Asus IPIBL-LB (Benicia-GL8E) into my daughter's HP Pavilion a6500f. It had burnt up two motherboards in a year and a half, one in warranty and one out. Rather than use the original and rather expensive Foxconn MCP73M01H1...

I purchased this PC at a very good price, but I wish I had researched it more thoroughly. My problem is with 64-bit VISTA Home Premium, which is incompatible with many of my software programs, including my CA Security Suite. The money I saved on the...

Dead motherboard

 

Dead motherboard

I've had mine about a year and a half and the motherboard died. I've been reading the online forums and it seems to be a common problem with the a6500f. To add to the problem, the motherboard is software locked to the OS so if you replace the OS you...
