Can anyone get past the first page on hp.com using firefox? I'm on 13.1 and the page has been broken for a while on all of my win 7 computers.

I emailed HP about it, telling them "hey, i think your homepage is broken in FF", and their response was

We request you to try www.hp.com using in Internet Explorer for better usage.

I took a glance at my calendar to make sure I didn't somehow time travel back to 2003.
 
firefox 13.0.1 or whatever the latest version is... It works for me. I checked out the new A6 sleekbook. 2.6GHz and no SSD is kind of underwhelming for $660 (for dual DIMMs and 7200rpm). I doubt the gpu in that is any faster than the cheapest ivy i5.

This really seems like a thinly veiled attempt to make AMD look bad. The default config is an A6 that only turbos to 2.6, so you figure 2.4 typical turbo. 1 DIMM, 5400rpm drive. Oh, and it has just a 4 cell battery too so that is also going to make AMD look bad. Honestly where do they get off thinking someone is going to want to pay $600 for that? It isnt much faster than a E450.

Rather than give the consumer a nice notebook that has a 10-12 hour battery life, they strip out two cells and pocket the difference.... that in a nutshell is AMD's experience in the notebook world.

That's odd. I'm seeing it on 3 different computers.

Are you guys seeing this page without the missing items, or do you get taken directly to the home/business/other portal?

yeah. sucks, too. i would be happy to get a decent notebook with: a 12-14" screen, a decent A series APU, and a long battery life.

IPS panel preferred.
 
HP is one of the most incompetent companies whose products I have had the displeasure of working with. Spent six months trying to make their Service Center product work with Single Sign-On. HP Quality Center, until recently, did not work with Windows 7 and ironically has more bugs than an anthill.

I'm not surprised their web site doesn't work.

This is exactly what I see too when I go on the site. I have noscript and adblock but have disabled both to see if it fixes things, but the site still looks empty. I'm running firefox 13.01 but ie 9 seems to render that page fine.
