Customer Reviews

first off I am an HP fan going back 30 years having sold all their business class computers and networking. But on a personal lever HP has always been in my home, except fopr way back having an Apple IIe.
But my inikital review is this.
Pro's: setting up under 5 minutes which is amazing compared to prior systems.Sysyem is fast, maybe not the fastest but for what I want it for it is fast enough, having upgreaded from an HP Paviliion Multimedia system 4 years old. The screen is superb, clear, bright and so easy to read. The tilt is also cool. Keyboard is so much better then all the prior ones I had from HP. The wireless KB and mouse I was amazed not having wireless before I had nothing to do. Did all my windows updates, installed Microsfot Essentials for security, the best free app available, installed CCleaner for daily system cleaning and PC Matic as a seconday system checker. I'm running this hard wiored into my FIOS router, wireless will come later.
Con's: so far none.
Recommed: highly worth the money.

This is an excellent computer at a great price. The touch smart screen is fun and a great help in working with photo editing.
The reviews were quite helpful in making the selection.
