 Artsy does deliver!May 27, 2008
By chickie go
Basically the HP Pavilion Artist Ed. does live up to its standards. I tried this by opening several applications such as the webcam, bluetooth, browser, and office doc. all at the same time and didn't experience any bugs or glitches. Only problem was when I installed silverlight or a particular application with an add-on (not so sure), my IE browser started to crash again and again everytime I'd try to exit/close it. Also, I was wondering why it didn't come with a 60-day trial version of Microsoft Office even though it was claimed to come as part of the package??? I had to then install it by myself through a microsoft website... Kinda hassle don't ya think? Overall, I'd have to say it packs a punch for it's price and is travel friendly since it doesn't overheat quickly or weigh much.

Nice laptop...Jul 04, 2008
By Cachito
The laptop is very powerful and handles Vista with no issues. The wireless N works great! 130 Mbps with full signal ;)
The colors outside are Ok, I got used to them after a while, but the plastic shiny material is a fingerprints magnet. I still don't understand why they keep making the laptops like this.
I was expecting better battery life and less weight. I'm kind of disappointed on these items.
HDMI port works fine. Speakers are fine. It'd be nice to have a 3rd USB port instead of the Modem port (who needs it?)
Anyway, for U$S 900 I'm happy with the HP Artist Edition.

Great laptop and service from AmazonAug 04, 2008

I ordered this laptop with 2 day delivery and the delivery was right on time before I had to be out of town and wanted to take the computer with me. I have an HP Pavillion Media Center Desk Top for almost 2 years and have been very happy with it, so it made sense to order another HP when I was searching for a laptop. This laptop was by far the easiest computer to get set up and learn all the new features that I was not familiar with. I also like the Artist version, which stands out when I am out with the laptop -- no chance of someone mistaking it for their's! I am very pleased with my HP laptop, as well as Amazon.com's service. The only reason I am not giving it a 5 star is that the system is a bit slow to boot up -- but from that point on, it works very well.

 HP Pavillion Artist Edition...Great while it lasts.....!Apr 10, 2010
By Yoanie
My daughter bought this comp for college...worked great for a while...just out of warranty...had to completely reload operating system once... worked ok for while then the screen went strange colors and poof !! Hardware system error. Needs a new motherboard...not even 18 months old! Of course no warranty! Pissed! They want $400 for new one plus labor! I hate this disposable society we live in...What a waste! Sounds like she is not the only one with this trouble! Buyer Beware!

It was great, big memory, fast, beautiful design. But one day the screen decided to go black and never came back...Feb 10, 2010

I was really sad because I only had it for over a year...contacted several computer stores but they told me the same thing: I would have to get a new mother board. Called HP, my warranty is no longer good (they only cover for a year, sneaky bastards). Same thing happen to my bf's HP.
