I needed a new laptop and as all modern day tech savvy buyers do today, I consulted my good friend Google who lead me around the net to read various reviews. I settled on a HP Envy 17 inch beauty. The unit arrived per HP’s estimate of 3 weeks. The delivering time was moderately annoying. Who wants to wait 3 weeks for anything these days? Not me I can assure you! That minor annoyance notwithstanding, I understand that since I require a specific configuration, waiting is standard.
DING DONG: FedEx is at the door. It is always exciting to get new hardware! Well the Envy was not quite dead on arrival but it was rife with software issues which after about 6 hours of tinkering, I think I have finally rectified the software issues. This was all just to get the thing not to seize up on boot. For the nearly two thousand dollars I paid for the thing, the laptop AT A minimum should work when I get it. JEEESH!
Yes Michael (michael’s blog) I should have bought an Apple MacBook Air. Lesson learned. You were right.
Hey HP! FAIL
