4 out of 5 stars Great Machine!   September 24, 2008
R. Remillard (Minneapolis, MN United States)
Great price, quite fast, and BluRay works nicely in Media Center. However, the fan is a little too loud, it does not have Wireless N built in (I checked, but I could be wrong), and it should have an eSata port for an external drive to support HD playback.

Overall, I am very pleased!



4 out of 5 stars Great computer, flawed though   September 7, 2008
Casey Kitty (Cherry Hill, Nj)
I bought this about 3 weeks ago, maybe a bit longer, and the first week i had it i had to call up HP and have it sent in for repairs. Expecting it back in a few days from the repair place. Very pleased with HP's support, not to pleased with the purchase. There shouldnt be any reason I need to send it in for repairs the first week of using it.

On the other hand, from what I saw, it works well. The TV connector in the back helps with space, so we only need a monitor, and not a tv, monitor, desk, etc etc. 500 gb of space means i can save my shows and not worry about running out of space. They say 3 gb of RAM, but I got 4. Evidentally they all do, but the computer only utilizes 3 gb, and the other 1 is for cache.

Very good computer for the price, just waiting to actually be able to use it! Kind of disappointed, since I have not been able to use the tower, or the monitor i purchased through amazon. Hope it works, and there are no other issues once I get it running.

I bought this for my small business and it is perfect. It is small and powerful. I highly recommend it.

Very good and powerfull computer. Takes little space and the wi-fi perfect, no more cables. Still dont like Vista that much but the computer is very fast and silent.


3 out of 5 stars Keyboard and mouse disaster   August 20, 2008

Such a pity, the looks and performance of the PC itself is outstanding from its speed to its media capability. BUT both the keyboard and mouse that were supplied with this HP PC repeatedly froze up!

I've consumed so many hours with the call center uninstalling, restalling drivers; resetting BIOS; subsituting hardware I already owned from other machines, to no avail!

My solution? I purchased a USB keyboard and mouse from another manufacturer and it works perfectly. Disappointed that HP did not provide this solution. Also it's a pity that two valuable USB slots are now consumed with basic imput devices...but at least it now works.
