Works For Me

My computers have pretty short lifespans. I think I keep my house too warm. My Dell that was less than three years old was getting flaky so when I saw this one for under $300 I snapped it up. I have no regrets. In spite of the cons, I'm glad to have it...

Easy set up. Good price.

Its a very small tower and apparently a basic computer. It doesn't have a light to show hard drive activity. I miss that. Being a very small tower, of necessity the cd drive is vertical and feels very flimsy. I use cds for handouts when I do...

Excellent features at low price

Sticking with Win-7, this model is 64-bit, with enough memory for typical home user.

No negatives so far.

Great PC for Business Use

I recommend this product for business use where MS Office and other desktop productivity tools are the daily drivers.

Smaller form factor for easy storage under a desk that takes up little space. I used a wheeled CPU cart to keep the CPU off the ground and everything accessible. I bought two of these for my wife, as she's started a 2-person law firm with another...

HP has a winner here!

I'll definitely be buying more of these. Unless HP messes up and stops making them.

- Standard 24 pin power supply! (Thank you HP) - Intel Core i3 + 4GB RAM is actually a little faster than I expected. It's perfect for your basic office environment where people just need access to documents, email, and internet. I installed Quickbooks...

I'm not a fan of the extra HP setup after the usual Windows questions (time zone, user, etc) but it's no biggie.

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Wrong Picture - This is a Micro tower, about the size of a cigar box.

Its a basic I3, like all the rest, at $399, the price is the same as all the other manufacturers. The 3 year extended on-site warranty for around $40 is a good deal.

Its not a medium tower, its a micro-tower.
