Hi cafer.,

I had a question on CQ50-139WM laptop. Does this require any special cable to connect to TV or just a VGA to s – video cable will do.

Not happy with this laptop at all. I spoke to Kevin Wolcoski at HP Corporate 1-877-917-4380 EXT: 93 and he basically said you get what you pay for. I bought this product for my kid for Christmas and two days later had a hardware issue and needed to be sent in. The product is not due back till Feb. 2. While Kevin did say that he would offer a full refund, the issue is that I purchased on sale and today the purchase price for any similar laptops is hundereds of dollars more. Customer service is a disaster. Overall, horrible experience all the way around with this product. Save your money.

I bought this computer with the intention of getting rid of Vista and installing XP
What a mistake!!! It is all but impossible as Microsoft has found a way to shove Vista up our back sides…. DO NOT BUY THIS MACHINE if your intending on loading XP. Do your homework.

I got this for my son as a christmas gift. I set it up so it’s ready out of the box. I ran PC Decrapifier and got rid of a lot of the bloatware, lost norton, installed Avast and a few other things here and there like office firefox and various antispyware apps. I got on line with an HP tec and verified that max RAM supported is 3GB. It has two slots on the bottom that are easy to get to. I remove the top 1GB an put in a 2GB and I had no problems running with the 3GB. For the money it’s hard to beat

It’s a Celeron, POS, not worth it! You’ll run into so many problems with a Celeron… save $300 more and get a Core 2 Duo.. 100000000x better then a Celeron..

Celeron=poor mans intel….
POS..

hey guys,

I’d like to buy a battery for this computer; would a 12-cell lithion battery work fine to your knowledge??
