 Perferc August 22, 2008
Very good and powerfull computer. Takes little space and the wi-fi perfect, no more cables. Still dont like Vista that much but the computer is very fast and silent.
 Keyboard and mouse disaster August 20, 2008

Such a pity, the looks and performance of the PC itself is outstanding from its speed to its media capability. BUT both the keyboard and mouse that were supplied with this HP PC repeatedly froze up!
I've consumed so many hours with the call center uninstalling, restalling drivers; resetting BIOS; subsituting hardware I already owned from other machines, to no avail!
My solution? I purchased a USB keyboard and mouse from another manufacturer and it works perfectly. Disappointed that HP did not provide this solution. Also it's a pity that two valuable USB slots are now consumed with basic imput devices...but at least it now works.

This is the worst computer I have ever owned. I got it on sale at Wal-mart for $500, and thought I got a good deal. Wrong! From the first time I hooked it up, it has run slowly. It takes forever for the desktop to load up. The dvd rom randomly opens itself during shutdown, which may not be discovered for a day. It constantly updates, making it even slower, and most of the updates are useless to me. As for getting on the internet, only try that if you have all day. Even with dsl, it can take as long as 5 minutes to load the homepage. For a while, I thought mine was just screwed up, but then I found out my step-father has the same problems with his slimline. Neither of us will buy an hp again.
we are very happy August 9, 2008
we are very happy with this computer because is an very good machine for a very reasonable price
Great Computer. Outstanding HP Technical Support July 28, 2008
This is my firts HP and I'm happy how slim and compact it is, not to say about the low noise. The first boot, however, took long minutes before the Vista could login. And everytime I tried to boot, use the Blu-Ray drive and even some websites would halt the system for long 2 minutes. After serveral e-mails exchanged with HP Technical Support, I finally found out that the Blu-Ray drive had something wrong. I tried to unplug it and everything came smooth. HP then replaced my defective Blu-Ray drive and now the PC is wonderful. And after the experience I had with HP customer support, I have no doubt my next PC will be an HP again.
My only complaint is the fact HP will not give full warranty for overseas, as this specific product is not supported by HP support in my country. I understand that, but the thing is HP in my country would not even hear my problem (which was initially the non-ability to create the Recovery Discs, which there is nothing related to the hardware, but with the software). HP in the US, however, understood completely the fact that I lived overseas and tried their best to match my schedule while I was back to the US.
