Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Pentium (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

Storage
- Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
- Hard Drive RPM: 7200 revolutions per minute (A hard drive's data is stored on disks, or platters, that spin while transferring information to the host system. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive's performance.)
Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR3L SDRAM (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Expandable To: 0 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 8.1 (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Operating System Architecture: 64-bit (An operating system (OS) manages computer hardware, software resources, and programs in conjunction with the system's processor. 64-bit operating systems can handle more data at once than 32-bit systems, resulting in faster speeds, more effiency, and overall improved performance.)
Connectivity
- Number of VGA Ports: 1 (VGA (Video Graphics Adapter or Video Graphics Array) is a display standard that transmits via analog signals. This type of interface is typically used to connect a computer to a display device such as a monitor, projector, or TV.)

Pleased with the computer, except for the OS (8.1)
This is a great desktop computer, in that it runs fast, has a 1T hard drive, and a 2.4G processor, plenty of memory, came with a mouse and keyboard, and I hooked up my existing monitor. It is easy to use. I will be happy when Microsoft comes out with Windows 10, and I will download and install it. My last PC was a Vista, so adjustments are required to get used to it.

big computer in a little box.
We bought this computer to replace our five year old one. I love the smaller thumb print. It takes up half the space of our old computer. But yet it's much faster and has a bigger hard drive. It's a little difficult moving from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1. Iam not fund of that but am told Windows 10 will be out this summer and we will be ableto get a free up grade. I will be looking forward bto that. I would recommend this computer to family and friends that are not into gaming.

Good computer but lacking in the accessories
My HP with Windows 7 had died, and I thought this computer was a great price (on sale) for 8GB RAM and 1 TB hard drive. It's quick to boot up and functions well. I really didn't want to have to use Windows 8.1, but I found a program to simulate the functions of Windows 7, so I'm happy with that. What I found completely lacking on this system was the cheap-o mouse that didn't work well and the lame keyboard. I rarely make mistakes on typing, and I find that I make many with the keyboard provided. I've already swapped out the chintzy mouse and am using my old mouse. When I "wheel down" on a mouse, I expect that it actually does so .. the mouse would scroll to a certain point and then no further on the screen. When I swapped out my old mouse, I didn't have that issue. I don't want to bother returning the product, so I'm just using my old mouse. If I don't get used to the keyboard, I'll use my old one as well. I was a bit disappointed to see HP's quality substandard for the accessories. Just my opinion, but it seems like HP cheaped out on those two items. I'm happy with the computer, though. I usually have several windows open and multitask, and this computer fits the bill.
