Pros: Very fast when it works

Cons: This is a piece of garbage computer, I am so dissapointed I bought an hp. (this is my first one)

They system constatnly crashes, or doesn't allow me to save or copy files. Also it is loaded with so much garbage on it that basic web-browser functions don't work. Such as copy'n photos (save as, etc).

Not to mention that it doesn't even shut down correctly. I have to force restart it 90% of the time. I will NEVER buy an hp ever again.

Other Thoughts: What a shame/sham

Pros: This is an overall nice build for the price!. The quad core certainly is nice for gaming and multitasking apps. It comes with 4gb's of ram and has 2 more slots open for future upgrades. Its well worth the money!

Cons: As usual a pre built computer comes with some bloatware. This one didn't have too much of it but still it can be annoying. Also not so much a con but the cpu fan when maxing out the cores really fires up sounding like a vacuum cleaner.

Other Thoughts: I tossed a Geforce 9800gt in it as soon as it arrived so that it wasn't using the garbage integrated graphics. Obviosly if your planning on using it for gaming factor in a nice descrete video card and put that PCI-E port to use!
