Don't by smartfriend for your HP
I had a terrible experience with smartfriend. They are not smart at all. I never got to ask my question. The only thing I got is questions like how many ports do you have, what's your serial number, etc. etc. The person said they are more of a software person than a hardware person. Well, I just bought a new HP and I have hardware questions. Things like: how do I connect multiple computers. When the person picked up the phone, they knew my name and my phone number, but nothing about the device I bought. That is not how a consumer grade experience should work. How it should: I call. They recognize my number, they have my order at their fingertips, the computer configuration and start helping me.

The Flying Z-Book.
David has been Professional and Knowledgeable in getting my new Z-Book setup, even though he was having to over come my 1st HP Rep NOT telling me that I would need a PCmover Cable and LINK even when I asked him what would I need to Completely transfer the Data from my EliteBook over to my New Z-Book. I Received the Cable but still have NOT Received my LINK, which David Needs. I would give David a 10, and I waited an extra 2 Days so he would be the one to Completely setup my New HP Z-Book.

Inaccurate information and no help or service
The rep who “sold” the SmartFriend service to me misrepresented what it would cover. I called HP to receive help and was told that SmartFriend was not by HP - but was a 3rd party offering - and she could not provide me any help. So I obviously have paid for something totally useless to me.

Quick answer
I paid for six months to ask one question. The answer was your hard drive is bad so you should get a new computer. How do I get a return for the other five months?

Your pushing me to rate your Smart Friend Service
I went through three poorly trained people before ANY of them could/would tell me my lap top was "too old" to purchase an extended warranty for. WELL over an hour and NONE of them were able or willing to simply state, "we don't sell warranties for our products after four years from the date of purchase". How this "Smart Friend Service" works or whether it's worth it or not, I have no idea as I have not even read it yet. I wanted another year of warranty coverage because this IS an HP and it HAS required warranty repair repeatedly. So, your "sales people" are fearful of admitting you don't want to cover your shoddy merchandise longer than four years. I shall make EVERY effort to NEVER purchase an HP ANYTHING.

HP
I called and requested this to be canceled and refund my money. HP did a BIOS update which failed. Since I didn't have an extended warranty on the computer your comoany feels that it is my problem. Therefore, I would be unable to use this service. Please note it took just over an hour and 5 different people to accomplish this request.

I got quick and expert help from each department that I dealt with.
If you are having problems with your HP printer and if there is a fix, the folk in the printer department will definitely solve your issue. very friendly and very helpful. Go directly to them and bypass other departments.

Caveat Emptor
I had a lightly used HP 6950 printer. It was 5 years old. It stopped printing. The only way I could talk to someone in Tech Support was if I bought a 6 month or 1 year tech support subscription. I just wanted to pay for a 1 time, 1 call but I was told that would cost $99 where as a 6 month subscription was only $60. I paid the $60, called the tech support number and was told that my printer head had failed and that because my model printer was discontinued, HP no longer sold the printer head that I needed. The HP folks recommended that I buy a new printer. So I paid $60 only to be told HP no longer made the part I needed. I asked if they would apply the $60 I paid for 6 months of tech support to a new printer. HP said no. I was told the 6 month of support I just paid for could be used for my new printer. I told the HP Rep that was not helpful since a new printer comes with a 1 year warranty.
HP used to be a great company that made great products. Neither is true any more. When the rep asked if I was ready to buy a new printer, I Informed them I was incredibly disappointed in HP and that I will be buying an EPSON printer. I bought a new EPSON printer and it’s GREAT. I will NEVER buy another HP product.

Time consuming and not helpful
The service is time consuming, every call in takes 45 minutes to several hours. There were instances where the issue wasn't even resolved. I had to pay two separate fees for the same service. My printer would work but go offline as soon as my computer restarts, then I'd have to call in again. Each person does something different. Overall, this has been super frustrating.

"Excellent Service"
The best thing I ever did was to get 6 months of SmartFriend Service. Without it, I don't think I would have been able to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

Crap HP Service
Do Not Waste Your Money. You will be dealing with numerous almost non English speaking Indians that know little or nothing. I talked to at least three support people each under a minute before the call was disconnected. The only emphasis from SmartFriend was to get a payment. If HP can sell a product in the USA they can afford to provide real support service in the USA too.

HP ENVY Laptop 17t-ch100
I recently purchased an HP ENVYLaptop 17t-ch100 for my daughters' masters work and she loves
it! The 17" screen is awesome and can preview things she couldn't on her old machine. It contains a 4 cell battery as opposed to a 3 cell and with the Intel Core i7-1195G7 with turbo boost it functions flawlessly. It's got plenty of ram and storage space. All in all I strongley recommend it!

Where is the service??
This sounded like a good idea but I have no information on how to use this service. I reached out to HP after receiving my new laptop and was assigned a case number. After I was told that they could not help me linking my mouse to the new laptop. I was told I would have to pay for help. Very disappointed

Poor Smart Friend Service
SmartFriend charges you $46 a month even if you don’t sign up with them and I don’t need their service. They don’t answer emails and when you call and speak to someone they try to sell you more accessories. Horrible company!!!

I regret purchasing this computer
My $2,200 Omen laptop arrived defective. I've spent 6 hours attempting to resolve software issues alone and other 3 hours with a HP representative. The first HP representative told me I did not purchase the correct plan for technical assistance as I was reading the invoice that shows HP 3 Year with accidental damage AND 6 months of tech support. I regret my purchase and wish I could have a full refund.

Called about an issue and the first technician was a little difficult to understand and I was not sure he understood what I was trying to say. He connected me with another tech and the second tech was a whiz. He understood the problem and fixed it right away. It's good to know they are there!!

My 1st call to Smartfriend Service.
Called since I thought I had to register my computer. Rep had no idea and took long time for him to find out. Asked about transferring my data to new HP computer and could not understand anything he said in his explanation. I'm wondering if my subscription is worth the cost.
