Shit Company! I Xtreme has winXP-ONLY drivers for sound card. Doesn't come with Installation CDs. Replace the hard disk and buy a new operating system!

A great computer company until you actually open it up and see the cluttered mess inside. They are good computers but pretty hard to customize.

Crappiest Computer Company ever. after a few years, the computer will have hardware problems. Your Laptop won't charge due to broken power socket or your CD Burner on your desktop starts to make funny noises. They are also hard to upgrade because wires are everywhere so it's hard to upgrade your memory, harddrive, etc.

A computer and computer peripherals company. Although the desktops and laptops can have some serious drawbacks, ther accessories (printers, sanners, and the like) are actually worth the money.
On the computer side problems often arise where certain components start to break. The CD/DVD drive has been a very common occurance. There have been claims of the computer making noise form start-up.
If you must by a HP computer makes sure it is a new one and not refurbished as it will be even worse.

Company that makes substandard desktop computers, but has mediocre customer service.
Known for putting cheap proprietary parts (such as underpowered power supplies) in desktop computers so that the parts fail around the time the warranty expires. Forcing customers to either buy overpriced proprietary parts from HP, or buy new PCs.
This is good news for technicians who know of work arounds to repairing Hewlett Packards. Most computers seen at repair shops are, in fact, Hewlett Packards.

Jim bought an Hewlett Packard desktop in July of 2006 and it lasted until exactly after the warranty ran out.
