So far, so great..., 2010-07-19
I'd had my eye on this for 6 months at the local Best Buy, and apparently good things DO come to those who wait because I was able to snag this on Amazon for $480 and free shipping! The downside: (and this is my own fault for not noticing) it doesn't come with built-in wireless networking ability. That's inexpensive & easily fixable. The tower arrived quickly & looked great, however when I set it up, it became obvious that the front USB ports were not working. The computer didn't detect my flash that I'd inserted until I put the flash in one of the rear USB ports. I did a little research on the HP website, and after removing the side panel of the tower, I found that the USB connections had come loose during transit. After plugging them back in, the computer works great! With only one minor bump in the road, everything runs smooth! (I bought this computer to upgrade for the CS5 Photoshop & it's amazing!)
Great upgrade, 2010-07-15
I had been looking to replace my 9 year old computer and found it in this unit.
My daughter told me to get 8MB Ram so that it will handle everthing and it does.
The price was great and I am very satisfied with it. My only problem is adapting
from XP to 7.
Little customer support for HP productgs, 2010-07-07
If you are updating from Windows XP beware. There is little support for any problems that you may encounter. If you call support and they cannot solve the problem and you want to talk to someone who is an expert in Windows 7 you will have to pay extra. Also, support ends after 1 year, when the warranty is up. I am having trouble using my 3 year-old HP LaserJet printer with the HP Pavilion computer. Because the printer is more than one year old, HP offers no support for the problem, although they do have a Windows 7 driver for the printer.
If I am scanning something into Photoshop, I have to close the scanner before I can continue working on the photo. In order to close the scanner on the new computer I have to use the Windows Task Manager, as Windows 7 does not put an icon for the scanner on the task bar.
I see posts from other people about these and similar problems, but no information on how to solve them.
Previously, I had a computer built by a local company with a good reputation. I should have done that again. Unless you are a business, you aren't going to get much help.
The computer is fairly fast, although it tends to hang up occasionally - just a short wait, but that's annoying if you are busy.
HP desktop P6310 f, 2010-07-02
Great price, fast and quiet.No complaints with tower, I am having somewhat of a problem with the keyboard and placement of space bar. It is so compact that I am having to learn how to type again. Keep hitting keys near the space bar and numbers near the top row of letters. This is proably because my old keyboard was layed out with more space between the keys.
Desktop PC, 2010-06-28
I ordered this HP Pavilion p6310f Desktop PC on May 24. After I received it, I started to use it on June 5. It is a great PC. I think it is a perfect PC for photos, videos and music. Whether I surf the web, editing photos, creating my own home videos, making or copying audio cds or dvds, it is great.
This PC offers a variety of ways to make my computing experience better.. I love it. I enjoy it as lot. Thanks.
