A class action has been filed against Hewlett–Packard Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, on behalf of consumers who purchased Hewlett–Packard Pavilion Elite series computers, including the Pavilion Elite e9150t, e9180f, e9180t, m9600t and m9650f.

I. Plaintiff's Factual Allegations

As set forth in the amended complaint filed on February 12, 2010, lead Plaintiffs allege that contrary to HP's representations and guarantees and in violation of state and federal law, HP has failed to deliver to Plaintiffs and Class members an HP Pavilion Elite series computer that was reliable and was free from defects in materials and workmanship. Rather, HP has delivered to Plaintiffs and the Class HP Elite series computers that incorporate defective components, namely the motherboard, that cause the HP Elite series computers to freeze, lock–up, or display blue screen errors at rates far worse than consumers reasonably expect and which make the computers unusable.

II. The Proposed Class

All persons and entities who, since March 20, 2009, purchased HP Pavilion Elite series computers models e9150t, e9180f, e9180t, m9600t, and m9650f and within their Limited Warranty period had "lockup" failures that HP did not adequately repair. "Lockup" failures include the system becoming unresponsive or locking–up within thirty minutes of a cold boot, freezing, or blue screen errors. Excluded from the Class are (1) employees of the defendant, including its officers or directors; and (2) defendant's affiliates, subsidiaries, or co–conspirators.

III. Relief Sought

The class action complaint specifically seeks:

1. an injunction ordering Hewlett–Packard to cease and desist from selling Pavilion Elite Series computers which, as alleged in the Complaint, are defective; and
2. an award of damages to Plaintiffs and the class.
