Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Defective Comment: This 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 do not buy HP desktops. I will never buy another HP product. Customer Rating: Summary: Great computer for the money Comment: This 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 accessories. The 15-in-1 memory card reader is another great benefit, allowing you to transfer pictures from almost any camera without worrying about cables and camera software.
The computer has tons of memory, which is phenomenal. I've got half a gazillion programs, games, and pictures on mine which would bog down any computer from 2-3 years ago, but this one still runs very smoothly.
It plays the older games on it without any serious issues, at least with the games I've tried so far. Some of the 5+ year old games have random graphic hiccups (they seem to be incompatibilities with Vista rather than the computer itself as my brother's Vista laptop also has the same graphic issues with the same games), but they don't affect the game play.
I would buy another one of the same computer in a heartbeat if I needed a second computer. It has been dependable, probably the most reliable computer I've had so far. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Computer for the price Comment: I 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Stop! Read First Comment: There 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: Exactly what I wanted...Super fast turn around for shipping! Comment: Absolutely no complaints here. The computer is fast, and is able to run Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign simultaneously with no problems.
