Well, this is the most comprehensive description I could muster up. Now I get to tell you how the machine has suited my needs, and how it will suit yours.
First of all, I would start out by saying that with the monitor, the whole system came to about 900$, and has been perfect for my needs. I am a student and educator, and need the computer to for every educational purpose you could imagine. I think this machine would do for ANY student, whether it is a person in elementary, middle or high school, but I feel this computer is perfect for the college/university student. If every university student had one of these, I would not get excuses like
"my printer wouldn't work", "my computer died" or other such excuses. (well, maybe I would still get these bad excuses, but if they were using one of these computers, I would be much less likely to believe them).
The computer would be fine for a low use at home computer: it has only 15 GBs of hard drive space, for some purposes this would be considered low. But, I should add, you can always upgrade the drive space on this model.
The computer has given me no problems yet (I have had it for about 2 months now), and it works just as well now as it did 4 months ago.
HP really spiced up the audio capabilities of this model, it comes with a really decent program for listening to CDs.
I have nothing bad to say! I feel this opinion is a little short, but with nothing bad to say, the length of the epinion has been compromised. I hope I have written a quality piece and hope I have aided in YOUR search for a new desktop.
PARENTS The holiday season is coming up! If you kid needs a computer, this one is it!
