HP Pavilion p6720f Reviews

Expert review by: Sarah Jacobsson Purewal (pcworld.com)

HP Pavilion p6720f

HP is generous with both hard-drive space and RAM in the HP Pavilion p6720f, but it skimps on the discrete graphics card. And by "skimps," I mean it didn't include one. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, though: This budget desktop is an excellent...

Massive (for the category) hard drive ; Plenty of RAM

Very little room for expansion

Swift and sporting generous amounts of RAM and hard-drive space, this PC is an excellent choice for people who need to focus on their work.

HP Pavilion p6720f

The desktop comes with a 1TB 7,200rpm SATA hard drive, which is plenty for the home user. To give you an idea of how much space that is, it will hold over half a million JPEGs or MP3s, or almost 250 DVD-quality movies. The p6720f also comes with 6GB of...

Speedy quad-core processor. 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi. Supports dual simultaneous displays

No HDMI port. Bloatware. Not tool-less

The HP Pavilion p6720f is a solid, basic home PC that is easy to buy, easy to setup, but ultimately is outshined by less expensive PCs that have fewer drawbacks.

COMPUTER SHOPPER - GOOD FOR GAMING

Expert review by: Daniel A. Begun (computershopper.com)

HP Pavilion p6720f

One of our around-the-office theories: The members of Hewlett-Packard's desktop-PC design department all have the cliche "Don't mess with success" tattooed on their biceps. Why do we think that? Because that appears to be the guiding principle behind...

Solid productivity, multimedia speed for its price ; Room for future upgrades ; Wi-Fi included

Anemic power supply limits upgrade potential ; Excess of third-party links, trial software

Its design offers little new, but the p6720f is a more-than-capable budget PC with very good performance for its $599 price.

Very Powerful Computer.

If you are not a gamer this is an excellent computer, I purchased it at Office Depot and highly recommend them in buying it. They gave it a three star here, but I feel it is a four star out of five. It would be a five star if HP ... Expand full review

It has more hard drive space then I will probably use, the same goes for the 6 GB of Ram and it has very fast processors
