Don't Buy!

 

Stick with 32 bit OS unless you have severe need for speed- this machine looks great at the low price with free windows 7 upgrade, BUT DON'T! Buy new PC with Windows 7 preinstalled.

Quick 64 bit OS, quad processor- good for office muti-tasking

Numerous gremlins- constantly losing HP printer connection, explorer crashes--free upgraders to Windows 7 have poor success with this model-- may go back to stability of old XP 32 bit PC.(More a windows software issue than HP hardware isue)

Very clean running sytem with all basic designs

 

Seeing this comment as a repeat of my comments above and with 22 years experience, my comments are better exolained above, nothing to compare it to really....unless you upgrade the video and mce card.

I just purchased mine at bestbuy for just under 7 bills.. ery good for runing games, but I am upgrading mine to handle video, and games. I get a 4.3 performance rating, someting I have not seen on any compter. .the built in wi-fi is totaly cool

to start with, it would be nice to have the removable media drive. I also miss not having the instant backup buton. againg the video could be beter. Matching dvi tuner for NvidiA Card. Larger Hard drive...it is for media right

Great PC, Great Buy

 

"I sat and debated for about two weeks on what PC to purchase before I finally decided on the HP. I must say that all my expectations were easily exceeded. I work as an HD Video Editor for a local television station, and as such I have to encode and...

Very fast CPU, even for gaming, 6 GB of RAM

Weak PSU

PC works great! So far...

 

"Took a while to decide on PC. Was looking at the slimline model from HP, a Dell and a Gateway. This model was a little more than I was looking to spend, but couldn't turn down all the extras. The quad core processor was nice. Its faster than some of...

Comes with all the bells and whistles! Easy to use

little pricy, not much else to complain about
