Amazing Desktop With All The Bells And Whistles

 

This desktop is state of art as of 05/2009.Tons of memory and extremely fast. The graphics are superb. HP software makes setting up, securing, tranfering and storing data so simple that even the newest pc'er should be elated. Gamers will be happy with...

Love the graphics that come from the nVidia GeForce 9500 GS, and the 8GB of RAM and 750GB hard drive are a major leap up from the 512MB/80GB that I had on my old Presario that I let the kids have. This is the most advanced PC I foundin stores

Nothing really, although it would have been nice to be able to play blue-ray dvds with out having to add-on

The usual HP stuff- No discs, silly recovery stuff on hard drive(We the Users of HP would love discs, not recovery stuff on the hard drive).

Simply amazing with a Blu-ray Player, 768MB Nvidia GeForce9600GS,750GB HDD ; Comes loaded with everything you need to put it in a Home Theatre- Blu-Ray, ATSC and NTSC tuner, 7.1 sound, and HDMI output.Pretty easy to set up overall

Very Slow Tower

 

Very Slow Tower

I've had this pc for ll months now and I'm very dissapointed and frustrated. I bought it Jan. 2009 and it's now Dec.2009. I thought this was the top of the line tower, but instead it's one of the slowest pc's I've ever owned. Again it's very slow...

BEWARE

 

BEWARE

I was a long-time fan of HP because they provided excellent warranty service and telephone tech support. Before you buy from them be aware this has changed. The quality of tech support has declined dramatically. Calls now automatically go to...

On 1/01/09 I called customer service (that is what they call it). I told the tech my internal lightscribe drive would not burn label's. I am not a not a novice and I went through all the steps - uninstalling the drive and reinstalling the drive, etc....

Great powerful HP desktop

 

Great powerful HP desktop

I just replaced my 8 year old Pentium 4 desktop with the HP Elite m9550f. I'm blown away, it's super fast, the fan is so noiseless, you hardly know it's running! I purchased it along with an HP 21.5" 1080p HD monitor with HDMI input. The monitor is the...

HP Pavilion Elite M9520F(FQ561AA) Core 2 Quad Q8300(2.50GHz) 8GB DDR2 750GB NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GS Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit

 

Added a Blu-Ray recorder drive in the expansion slot, like I said this PC has the speed to run high processor demand programs with speed.

Excellent HTPC, love the ease of recording programs, much better than DVR, great PC, very fast running video recording programs from my video camera. The included remote operates all my video componets, big plus

As with others HP tech support sucks, they know nothing. Blu-Ray playback uses a different program than DVD playback, something that can be fixed but HP hasn't yet, I have a HP laptop that uses only one program for both Blu-Ray and DVD

I made a mistake

 

I made a mistake

The computer came, but you shipped an m9510f instead of the M9510F. I wish I had kept it and found some way to install a modem in it. Not too happy with the Gateway I got instead just because it had a modem.

Dual Monitor Display Issues

 

Dual Monitor Display Issues

The machine works well, and enough people have reviewed it that I will focus on a particular video display problem that you are likely to encounter with this, and perhaps other HP Media PCs. If you try to play DVDs and Blurays onto a second, shared LCD...
