Great computer for the money

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.

Great Computer for the price

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.

Absolutely no complaints here. The computer is fast, and is able to run Adobe PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign simultaneously with no problems.

Nice computer for the price, only thing is the graphic card...

Bought this computer to replace my 6 year old hp that has been taking a good beating from me over the years, I finally decided the upgrades would just be too expensive and it would just be better to buy a new computer then keep adding to my old system it would have cost over 800.00 dollars.to upgade my old system. the graphic card needed a huge upgrade since I couldn't run most of the programs anymore.anyways, back to the review of this system, the only real problem I had with it was the graphic card, it is an Intel graphic card and really isn't that great, few days after ordering the machine, I found out to get a good graphic card I would need to upgrade the power supply as well, since it is only 250 max watt, so I had to replace the power supply to a 500wt in order to get a new geforce 9600 gt, the other problem was having an older computer on the network, vista and xp pro might cause some problems but finally figured it out and am able to network the two systems, I also had some problems with backing up my old programs and software from older system but found out vista has a built in back up program so I did not have to use nti back up to get my programs back, other then that, the system has ran smoothly, hasn't locked up once since running it, I have left it on 24/7 with no problems games run nicely and a lot of the programs I need to run extremely well with excellent speed. the graphic card and 500 wt power supply also fit with no problems so over all I am happy with the system except you might want to eventually upgrade the power supply and get a new graphic card that is actually better then the Intel one it comes with. also it comes with vista 32 bit so beware if you want to upgrade the ram you will need to upgrade to the 64 bit since the 32 bit will only read 3 gigs of ram.
