I bought this computer at Office Depot and on the second day, it would not release the CD. It had jammed. The CD holder is very very flimsy It accepted it and read it, but instead of releasing it, it jammed it up in the space. I returned it and purchased another computer for $100 more that does not have the slimline cd holder. I definitely would not recommend this one, feel like it will be taken off shortly.

On account of the bad reputation of Windows Vista, I kept my old klunker Compaq Windows XP machine until Windows 7 came out.

I got this HP Slimline and am very pleased. Got it with an hp 2009m monitor which seems to be the predominant monitor people tend to match it up with.


The fact that I was using a very old klunky machine no doubt prejudices me in the direction of being pleased with the new machine. But for what it is worth I am indeed very pleased.

I pretty much just use the PC for web surfing- I suspect for games you might want a higher end one. I didn't realize when I bought this computer that it only has the VGA interface to the monitor, not the more advanced digital ones. For my uses of the PC the interface is fine, but if you use your PC for videos you might want to look into it further.

I am pleased that the machine boots up in about a minute, my old PC took about a half hour, possibly some of that was due to viruses or something.

Along with the PC I bought a copy of Microsoft Office Home and Student version, there is a discount if you buy it along with a new PC.

It is nice to have a computer that responds promptly, in contrast to my old PC which ran like molasses at times.

So, I am grading this computer on an easy curve because it doesn't take much for a PC to be infinitely better than my old klunker.

But, for what it's worth, I like this machine a lot.
