by ender0051 , Jan 24 '00
Pros: great price, high performance

Great Buy But...

by mpmoore9 , Mar 17 '00
Pros: Price and Features
Cons: Hangs Too Often
I got a great buy on this computer. It was the last one in the store and it was on display so I only paid $1,040.00. Meanwhile it was marked $1,500.00. So needless to say I was excited to get all of that computer for that price.

I love all...

Pros: 20 Gig HD, Cd writer, 6X DVD Player, Great Programs

Best Buy

by Fbrown1565 , Jun 18 '00
Pros: Great package
Cons: No 800 number to call for help
I bought my 8580C computer last August, and even though the price dropped $200.00 the following month I still received a great deal. After almost one year this computer still holds it's value over ninty percent of the computers on the market today. The...

HP is O.K.

by emb99a , Sep 10 '01
Pros: Cd/r, descent hard drive
Cons: Weak processor
Computers today are difficult and expensive to keep up to date. The HP 8580c provides a computer that will keep up for a few years. The hard drive, processor and RAM are good enough to for most people unless you do CAD or some other advanced computer...
