Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: PC great but Vista is not Comment: This is a great PC by itself, but I could not use the Vista operating system. If you like Vista this PC is right for you. It had great graphics and is fast to boot. It was very easy to customize also. I do not recommend the Vista operating system if you do a lot of e-mail and web-surfing however. This would be a great PC for Xp or the new Windows 7 when it comes out. Customer Rating: Summary: s3500F computer Comment: Great computer. Takes up little space and works well. Can't say the same for Vista however. Hours of frustration and talking with tech service. Customer Rating: Summary: Great computer for general home use. Comment: On the upside the small size of the unit is great.On the downside the small size of the unit makes it difficult to upgrade components.
If you are a gamer this computer is not the one for you.The vidio card is the weak link in the unit. As we all know in order to upgrade the vidio you must increase power output and with the compact size of the unit the selection is limited.
As I am not a gamer this is not an issue. We use the computer for a home office and for that purpose it does quite well. Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding PC! Comment: Fast! I mean really FAST!!! I wish I can complain about something in this system, but... I can't! Haven't tried it in gaming though. Other than that - AWESOME! Besides, it's HP, only brand I always trust. No regrets, whatsoever! On the other hand, I might contemplate about blu-ray, bluetooth, etc. but let's be realistic - if you need all those "perks" get ready to dig deeper in your wallet. Excellent balance between quality and price. I'm thinking to get another one - just for web TV and videos. You'll be surprized how compact it is, too. Customer Rating: Summary: Blazing fast- great computer! And very good value. Comment: I had been wary of purchasing a computer with Vista operating system due to all the bad press. However, since XP is no longer easily available, I had no choice, and landed on this computer because of (a) great price (b) slim profile and (c) 4 GB RAM memory. The memory was the final and most important point for me as I'd heard that Vista requires at least 2 GB of memory to perform.
WOW - this thing hauls you know what. You click on Internet Explorer and the browser is open, and a second or two later the page is open. Mega fast. And I really am enjoying the Vista interface.
And yes, it works with my 7 year-old printer via a USB hookup. There is no parallel printer port if your printer requires that.
Also, I like the HP support software which automatically downloads software updates (like drivers for the video card etc) for me, something which Windows Update does not do for non-Windows drivers etc for the most part.
Overall, this is a great value and I'm very pleased. You won't believe how small the box is when it arrives!
