Experiencing a slow PC recently? Fix it now!

Very soon HP discontinued this model; I suspect it maybe due to customer complaints.

The problems I faced were:

- very poor screen quality, poor fonts, very small view of documents or web pages in comparision with other laptop displays.

- After few months the display started to develop vertical lines and the lines kept increasing every few weeks.

- Display screen / laptop freezes when coming out of hibernation, need to manually switch off to re-start again.

- Recording problems… garbled output of recorded sound.

- HP Compaq Mobile Workstation nw9440 overheats in just few minutes of running.

Don’t buy this, please… Very expensive and time consuming to have!!!

I’ve been comparing the 8710w to other laptops on the market (especially the MBP) and was wondering how much of a performance boost should I expect in openGL based applications (3ds max mostly) due to the 1600M card? Are we talking a about a minor (1.1x) power increase over a similar spec laptop (top end Hp dv9700t for instance) that wasn’t a workstation. In other words is the 1600M noticeably better than the 8700GT in openGL? considering that rendering is processer dependant and would not be very different in a laptop with a similar processor… thanks in advance for you time =)

But i’m sending it back !!!Why ? because of real time latency (for audio and video streaming !)

You can check a system with this :

And the craziest thing is that we had very good result with an m90 and an XPS 1710 but some craziest peaks on the m6300 (same tweaks on devices !!)

There’s somtehing on the system wich every couple of seconds is high demandin (of course i disabled devices on the bios like wireless, bluetoof….)

The results on an Hp were way better (except if you have an tsscorp dvd player, just run the autorun value to 0 on the bios or you will see crazy peaks to !!)

So here’s the conclusion : nowdayz , the word harware integration seems to be forgot, i’m mean manufacturers are puttin device because it’s new and of course they put the cheapest , to be straight with last technology, the test process (wich must be several months for real workstation)is no more the menu !! So when you buy a system , buy the most well integrated and not the most powerfull!! Cause a powerfull one with dirt integration, will be less efficient than a regular one with good integration !!

I know it’s a video thread but my concern gives a good look on how know the machine are !!

Hope it helps

Does anybody have an TI chipset in it’s 8710 W ,or is there a way to order one with this chipset on it ?
