 Rating:  - DefectiveThis computer is poorly built and does not function properly. My problem with this pc is a continuing failure of the video functions. It freezes up sometimes while other times it will display a "no signal imput" message on the screen. I have tried all the recommended procedures with no success and a lot of wasted time and effort. Trying to get assistance from HP on a warranty repair (you do all the work and maybe they'll send you a replacement part) is impossible. My advice to you is ... Read More Rating:  - Great computer for the moneyThis computer is great overall. It far exceeded my expectations of Vista. I've had the computer for 5-6 months now, and the biggest problem I had was when the computer started running insanely slow and eventually crashed. Good old Vista ran a diagnostics test and found all I had to do was download an update for the graphics card that came installed on the computer, and it has run even better than before since then. The computer has several USB ports, which is great for multiple wireless ... Read More Rating: - Great Computer for the priceI bought this computer 3 weeks ago. No problems so far. I'm very happy with it. I was replacing a 7 year old HP because the hard drive was going. The only thing to me was getting used to vista after using XP for so long. Not a big issue though I just have to hunt for something a little longer. I would buy this again. Rating: - Stop! Read FirstThere are many problems with this system. Start up stalls; after starting up the screen is black, no files found; problems with the card reader, would not recognize the card, files would not support card; system restore would not function, 6 tries even with tech support and would not restore, internal errors. Only had system for 14 days. Rating: - Exactly what I wanted...Super fast turn around for shipping!Absolutely no complaints here. The computer is fast, and is able to run Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign simultaneously with no problems. |
