    HP - Pavilion Wave Desktop

    We have always owned HP so when this "smaller" harddrive came out, it was something we had no doubts about. I read the online reviews (there weren't many at the time) and did not read anything negative, so we bought it without hesitation. Unfortunately, within the first week, the harddrive would shut down without notice. I would be reading an article or email and it would shut down. Since Best Buy replaced it, we haven't had any issues.

    Saving a lot of space with the size of the computer and no need for a separate speaker.

    Good price, very fast start up and does what I need it to do. I only use it to stream from Hulu and Netflix and it does a good job at that. My only complaint is that I had to buy a newer tv because the graphics card wouldn't let me adjust the screen size for use on an older LCD tv.

    I was looking for a new computer to replace my old, 8-year-old one. Stumbled upon this interesting looking product and read the specs, I was impressed at how much they were able to pack into this small package! Very good computer for everyday use; may not be suitable for heavy duty gaming and graphic/video usage. Will definitely recommend, especially if it is on sale!

    The Hp - Pavilion Wave Desktop is a great computer for the price. I really love the size and design. I love the fact that it doesn't take up too much space. I haven't had any issues so far. The only thing that I don't like about it is that it can be noisy.

    It was a great value, very quiet and I love the size but I do think it could use a little more speed but the purpose was to replace my desktop and also move a huge amount of file onto an external drive instead taking up space on the desktop.

    Bought it on sale. Very satisfied. Could find a better one, but I don't really use it for gaming. Less wires and no speaker hook up is nice. Could have more HDMI plug ins. The wireless keyboard can be annoying as it has lag time and sticky keys.

    This computer sits on my desk and looks good and sounds good. It performs fast even though it has no solid state drive. The wireless keyboard and mouse need to be close to it to perform well. Initially I had the tower on the far side of my monitor ... The mouse was a little jumpy until I moved the tower closer. It is great now.

    This PC not only doesn't take up any desk space but it looks great and is super quiet. This PC most likely would be great for streaming to a home theater. Only thing I think that this PC lacks is a memory upgrade to 16gig.
