    I like the 2TB of storage and the 8GB of memory, the only thing is the computer does run a little slow, I thought for internet usage the 8GB was enough, if I was to buy it again I would upgrade to 12 GB. All the other features are awesome.

    Great computer for a fast start up and shutdown. I am glad I bought this computer because of the enormous space on the Hard Drive for my media and photo files.

    This computer sets up very easily and performs very nicely for email, video, browsing, music, pictures, Facebook etc. I replaced the wired keyboard with a wireless version, installed my own anti virus software and Microsoft Office. If it just didn't have Windows 8 which I find very frustrating! All in all the PC with its storage and high powered RAM is a good value. I would rate excellent but for the Microsoft Windows 8 pre loaded software. That aside this PC is excellent and you'll not be disappointed.

    It has been a while since I had purchaced a computer and I really needed a new one. I chose HP because I have used HP products in the past. I chose this one because of the memory and hard drive. I was not disappointed. It is fast and set up was easy. I would recommend this computer to others.

    Better and worse than Windows 7

    Overall, I'm impressed by the speed of this item. Connectivity is faster, with fewer hiccups. Windows 8.1, however, is confusing. I want to go directly to a particular game, and I have to go through what looks like a checkerboard menu. There's a window that pops up when I'm playing another game that stops the game unnecessarily. And I get messages to download Flash Player. Unsafe -- I picked up viruses. I would recommend the product -- but wait until Windows 10. McAfee comes on a trial basis, it tells me next to nothing about what it finds, and it doesn't offer an option to fix the faults it finds..

    I needed a tower for business. I grabbed it on sale for $280.00. For the specs at that price, it was a solid deal. At the regular $450.00 plus, I dont' think so. Lots of storage and ram. The processor is ok. Windows 8.1 Home is really nothing special. I would have preferred a better version of 8.1. But again, for the price at the time and my needs, it works perfectly well.

    This year it was all about replacing outdated and wore out equipment. First I replace my laptop then my daughters laptop for college and while I was shopping for those my eyes were drawn to the selections of All-In-Ones to replace my burned up computer in the seldom used study/spare bedroom. It was the last item on my list of replacements. I talked with my reliable sales rep at best buy as to my needs and the best option for my money. I thought I was pretty set on my decision of a Pavilion All-In-One. I was just waiting for that price to go on sale. Then I got lucky. I watched those sales weekly on-line and I found the HP - Pavilion Desktop - AMD A8-Series - 8GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive - Gray "On Sale" and along with that I bought a larger Pavilion 23" monitor also on sale. The HD was larger then my previous choice; but whats not to like about that! I saved more money buying the the two separately and got a better product in the process. I picked it up at the store from my reliable sales associate after discussing with him the value built in this product, brought it home and put it together without a bit of trouble. Everything I needed was in the box. The performance is excellent. The study is now functioning more as my office now that I have the tools I need to get my job done. Thanks to Bo, my sales associate, and Best Buy I made a great purchase!

    This is my main computer and was very easy to set up. Worked great out of the box, and has plenty of speed for the computing I do. Have been using it for almost two months and have not had any problems with it at all. Plenty of hard drive space that I will never use up.

    We have found this to be a great computer for the Church office. We were using an All in One computer that had been donated several years ago. When the screen of the All in One burned out, it was a scramble to find a computer that would do what needed it to do, and to prepare us for the future. The speed, memory and hard drive will give us ample room for us to grow into the future.

    Always buy HP computers. I have both desk top and laptop. This is super fast, almost instant on and off! Plenty of memory. I primarily use for Quicken, Office and video editing. No internet on this one, use another desktop and laptop for internet only. Only thing I am not fond of is Windows 8. I like Windows 7 better. Maybe it just takes getting used to.

    No problems out of the box. Upgraded to Windows 10 last week and it works even better since Windows 8 seemed to be for touch screen. Boots up fast and the Amd processor is great. Run photoshop with Wacom tablet and so far so good. I like it.

    This desktop was easy to install, looks great and easy to navigate. I would highly recommend it to someone who needs a desktop just for general use such as internet surfing and downloading music. There's not so many extra bells and whistles where it becomes overwhelming. A great product!

    I purchased this pc for my son to do some gaming. The I3 processor and 8GB ram were great for the price. BUT, I went to add a video card and there is not slot available. The motherboard has no expansion slots. This is a full size tower pc, but with more restrictions than most mini-towers.

    This computer is a very good deal considering that it has 8GB of RAM and a 2TB hard drive. It would have earned a 5-star rating if it had a better keyboard. The included keyboard is NOT a high quality unit. Even when used carefully, it skips letters at times. Keyboard is very disappointing.

    Good quality computer for the price. My reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is the Keyboard. Keyboard is not something I am used to as it is a click style buttons. Otherwise large memory and hard drive
