Your new HP Laptop. Any regrets?

I’ve had my DV6T-7000 CTO Quad Edition since Nov. 26 2012, have had a few non serious issues, but love it nonetheless. It replaced a DV6T-1000 CTO that gave me no problems at all over 4 years. That one has just recently replaced my HP desktop computer purchased in July 2005, again with no problems. I have had great luck with HP and decided to stick with them once more.
The Quad Edition was purchased in response to Win8, which I tried and disliked immensely. I figured I’d better buy a Win7 while I could. It is perfect, no physical defects, everything works the way it should except Event Viewer. The other issues I just had just this week, webpages hanging forever, was resolved by a network card update along with a Bios update. I am working to find out why Event Tracing for windows appears to be the only problem (software) I have.
The screen is gorgeous, it is FAST, and for now, will stay as is. I LOVE it. What about you?

I have been very pleased with all of my HP laptops over the last couple of years.

The biggest disappointment with the dv6/dv7 6000 series was the lack of a backlit keyboard.
That and the upgrade to Ivy Bridge along with a sleeker looking laptop (IMO) is what helped me make the jump to the 7000 series.

 

Wow, you actually replaced your 1 year old laptop? Did you sell the DV6T-6000 series, if so how did you sell it and did you take much of a loss? It sounds like your decision to upgrade, other than the Ivy bridge, was mostly physical.

 

I listed it on Ebay for a few months and ended up selling it to a co-worker about a month ago.

I purchased the dv7t-6100 in Spring of 2011 when they had the 30% coupons, and when they sent me the wrong color I got them to knock off another 15%.

I ended up with about $1120 in it. I sold it for $680. I was not anticipating taking THAT big of a loss, or that it was going to take some time to sell. I figured I was going to lose somewhere between $200 and $300. I never had any issues selling older laptops in the past, the most recent before that being a Dell XPS m1710.

The dv7t-6100 is the first laptop I have owned that never had any warranty work done in its first year. The dv7t-7000 had to have it's keyboard replaced because of missing keystrokes.

My girlfriend purchased a dv7t-7000 on my recommendation and my father still owns his dv7t-6100 that he purchased when I bought my 6100 series - both of them have been very pleased with their choice.
