Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have had this computer now for nearly a month and a half and it's time for me to submit my review.
PROS:
Great value for the price
Good features and mid-level graphics
8g of DDR3 RAM, 1T HDD (partitioned into Drives C and D)
Blu-Ray player
Fast, efficient quad core processor
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Wireless Network connection
VERY quiet
CONS:
Very light weight WIRED usb Keyboard
Very light weight WIRED usb Mouse (together they feel flimsy and 'cheap')
Oddly, the 1T HDD runs at 5400 RPMs rather than at 7200RPMs.
HP insists on using up much of the space on proprietary drives that few, if anybody, will purchase
SHAME ON HP for not including a recovery disk - This should be always included with purchase.
This computer has and is performing better than I had expected. It actually does not run much slower than my Core I7 extreme 975 intel processor computer. Plenty of storage space on this computer. I also find the case is acceptable, attractively if plainly styled. Lots of connectivity, lots of USB ports, the quad core processor blows away intensive applications better than I expected. I am very surprised that this computer is no longer available. It is the perfect blend of features, performance and price. The reason I have given this computer a rating of 4 rather than 5, after raving about it, is that this system, as have previous HP models at this price point, should have included a wireless keyboard and mouse. This is not a barebone, cheapo computer, but a full media center system. I also found it very odd to use a 5400 RPM hard drive, rather than a 7200RPM drive. Why? I know the 5400rpm is probably a little cheaper, but not by much, and a 5400 RPM would also save on power, maybe allowing for a lower power supply point, but that also adds limits to the purchaser that I am not very happy about. At this level, HP, a wireless keyboard and mouse AND a 7200 RPM hard drive should be expected. Since my monitor is a 28" I have to keep some distance away from it, therefore a wired mouse/keyboard is simply unacceptable and useless. And ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS, manufacturers should include the recovery disk as the computer purchaser has purchased this copy of windows.
This computer would be perfect for most users. It is not only a little powerhouse, but is a full featured media center PC with a TV tuner and the ability to burn DVDs. HP, as well as most other mainstream manufacturers, load up the computer with their proprietary software, as well as things like AOL and Norton, etc. Just delete off all the crap, clean up the registry, and you'll have an outstanding desktop computer.
A word about Beach Camera. Beach Camera was the vendor that sold me and shipped me the computer through Amazon. They invoiced me quickly and shipped quickly, the computer arriving safely and working flawlessly out of the box. Not all that common these days when computers have so many components that can go wrong as well as the shakeup the computer takes during shiipping. It arrived flawlessly and worked perfectly. Thank you Beach Camera.
I highly recommend this computer. My main computer is a new core i7 extreme 975, 12g of DDR3 RAM running at 1600mhz, a HD 4870x2 graphics card; it cost me over $3000! This computer here, costing $949.00, gives me near the same functionality as my main computer at 1/3rd the cost!!!
