Don't get rid of the boxes.. by CubsFan on shopping.hp.com Mar 11, 2012
Unit did not work -- would not boot up. Spent couple hours on-line to find out hard drive was defective. Our kids were really disappointed. Will try exchanging -- but had to re-pack --- never as easy as unpacking! So don't pitch those boxes! Hope this story has a happy ending.....
