We bought this computer because of the large HD and processor but are disappointed in the fact that the video card is integrated. We bought it for our son so he could play games and do homework and talk to his friends on the internet. He went and bought a new game thinking his brand new computer would play it only to find out the graphics card wasn't good enough. We thought we would replace the graphics card with a butter one but lo and behold it is integrated and the computer does not have an expansion slot that could be used for a better graphics card. Wish we would have realized this before we bought it.

My old PC flat out died and I was able to pull the hard drive out and save my files though :). But I digress.... So far this has been a good PC. Was what I was looking for. Got it on sale (Thusly a newer version will probably come out soon). Good amount of memory (you need it these days) and 1T of storage that I will probably never get to fill up. Owned for about a month now still a good purchase for me.

I needed to replace my desktop PC in a hurry and I found this on the Best Buy website. The specs were great and the price was great too. I went in the store, found a very helpful salesperson and walked out with a new PC. Very, very easy to set up and get going. My one caveat is that I expected it to be lightning fast (especially since I put in 16GB RAM), but it's just fast, not "lightning" fast.

This computer is good for everyday tasks like email, facebook, etc. It is a little slow at times to load a webpage, I also had problems viewing youtube videos with internet explorer I would get a green screen. I downloaded google chrome to use instead, I don't have a problem with the videos now. I have had my struggles with windows 8, in my opinion windows 7 worked so much better. I wouldn't recommend using this computer for gaming.

I picked up this machine for one of my clients as a workstation. It was on sale for $349.99, at that price this computer is an excellent value. I always tell my clients to either buy an I series machine (I3, I5, or I7) or the AMD A8 as that insures that they are getting a decent CPU and the latest technology. And if you don't like windows 8 because of what you may of heard all you need to do is download Classic Shell which will install the familiar start menu that everyone is used to from XP to Win7 and you will find that windows 8 is basically the same once you add that missing piece back.

QuestionEthernet card is only 10/100?Is there a typo on the description or does this computer really not have a 10/100/1000 card?
Asked 10 years ago by Jeff.
- Answer The product description is correct. This HP desktop model includes what is called an "integrated 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN." This is a different type of network card from the 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN, which is external. The integrated card will allow you to access the Internet either with a cable or via a wireless connection. In most cases, a user will experience the same level of network performance with either card.
