Beware when buying a computer-based Blu-Ray...

After a few months, the computer failed to recognize Blu-Ray discs and customer service was of no help. In fact, they ended up telling me I should go out and buy another company's Blu-Ray software to use on the machine. They drop the ball and totally...

Recovery partitions. Make sure to create the recovery cd in case it is needed. At least HP has decided to allow for the creation of the recovery discs. Anyone who buys HP products that utilize a recovery partition should do this as HP does not retain...

HP Pavillion S3400F Slimline Computer

The computer was received promptly which is what I have typically found when ordering through Amazon. This is the first computer I have purchased for some time, I usually build them, but the small size and low price made this impractical. I also found...

I purchased two slimlines about 8 months ago. This is my first negative review to write about any company or product but I am compelled. Both desktops broke down within the first two months within 3 weeks of each other. After a nightmare with their...

Great Machine!

Great price, quite fast, and BluRay works nicely in Media Center. However, the fan is a little too loud, it does not have Wireless N built in (I checked, but I could be wrong), and it should have an eSata port for an external drive to support HD...

Very good and powerfull computer. Takes little space and the wi-fi perfect, no more cables. Still dont like Vista that much but the computer is very fast and silent.

Keyboard and mouse disaster

 

Keyboard and mouse disaster

Such a pity, the looks and performance of the PC itself is outstanding from its speed to its media capability. BUT both the keyboard and mouse that were supplied with this HP PC repeatedly froze up! I've consumed so many hours with the call center...

This is the worst computer I have ever owned. I got it on sale at Wal-mart for $500, and thought I got a good deal. Wrong! From the first time I hooked it up, it has run slowly. It takes forever for the desktop to load up. The dvd rom randomly...
