I have several computers for my small insurance and mortgage business. The computer I bought previously was a HP Pavilion a1540n, 4200+ with 2 megs of ram. I had it for a year and it was a nightmare. The main problem was a defective hard drive. HP tech support suggested reinstalling the OS several times destroying all my information multiple times. When I went to get a replacement for this machine I wanted anything but HP! However I found a great buy on a HP Pavilion a6200n. It was $609 less a $180 rebate or $429 net (if I actually get the rebate). This was an Office Depot advertised special. So I decided to take a chance on another HP machine.
The a620n has an Athalon 5000+ dual-core processor and 2048MB of system ram. I was worried that Vista would run slower than my previous Windows OS. However it is faster. I liked the fact that the computer was not loaded with trial software. It was not hard to get used to Vista. So far the computer seems very stable.
My biggest problem with the HP Pavillion a6200n is that is has a substandard eathernet port. On start up I usually have to plug and unplug the internet cable multiple times to get a connection. A second a6200n purchased has the same problem and other computers pluged into the same line connect without problem. HP says to ship the machines back to them and they may be able to fix the problem. (I have replaced the eathernet cable and the problem persists when the machine is pluged into other connections that are know to be good). If anyone has an idea for how to remedy this problem please send me an email. That makes three HP machines in a row that have had serious flaws!
