    Good computer with some shortcomings

    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.

    Recently found my old computer was just too old to do what I wanted to do. Even though this is only an Entry Level computer, it has preforms very good. The only thing that I did not like is not being able to upgrade the power supply so as to add additional drives. All and all this is a very nice unit.

    This computer is an entry level machine. It has NO open bay areas for expansion. The processor appears to be slow. The windows 8.1 is a nasty OS and is a real pain to work with. The bundled software is mostly useless especially the HP ones for the Photos and Music. I wish I had my old WIN 7Pro back.

    computer was easy to set up. Windows 8.1 works great for everything I need except videos. I have worked my way around them. But performance of computer has been great. Best buy had best price. Hard to find computer with 8gb ram and 1tb HDD for this price.

    I had a few issues at the very beginning wi the computer not waking from sleep correctly. HP tech support was very good about working with me on it, even though I got the feeling they had no idea why it was acting that way. Overall, I've been very happy with it. Lots of storage space and a nice speed upgrade over my previous computer.

    I recently bought six of these computers for my business and am well pleased. The set-up was very easy and the price was right. While not a top-end gamer machine, it has all the speed and memory that a business user needs.

    I used to have a CPU that did it all but never used most of the features. This unit is perfect for the average user to get e-mail and store data for easy access. It does have enough memory where you can download programs to do the extra things you may want to do too.

    The computer hasn't been bad so far, only had it a couple of months though. The cooling fan started making a loud noise like it's going bad after the first couple of weeks. I have geek squad though so they can take care of it when I take it back in to the store.

    Currently using Windows 7, but decided to bite the bullet and go for Windows 8.1. After a few tweaks I am adjusting just fine. I have always used HP and this had the most memory of any I have used. Think I will enjoy using it.
