Reader Reviews I recently purchased this machine as I am a desktop person and not a laptop person. Desktops always function better than laptops, are faster, cooler, and never have batteries that die. Besides, I go to Starbucks for coffee, not to sit there trying to impress people with my expensive toy. If I have a thought, want to send an email, or suddenly feel inspired to write the great American novel, I can wait until I get home to do so. I am not disappointed with my purchase. I read excellent reviews on Best Buys' website about this Compaq and they are correct. You can save on the tax of course if you purchase here as the price is the same as at BB. I was replacing a seven year old Emachine computer. Times have changed, this Compaq (HP) is so quiet and runs so smoothly it's not even comparable to my old Pentium 4 machine. I had some initial concerns about Vista as it's such a RAM hog but the two megs that come with the machine keep it running fairly quickly. Vista is very smooth and slick and I actually like it. The dual processor is excellent and I always prefer Intel over AMD as I've had better durability over the years with Intel processors. They also use less energy. This machine happens to be the exact same as the HP A6300F and that machine costs about $700 to give you some idea of how fast computer prices fall. Read the reviews for that machine here on Amazon, they're all good. The only change I made was adding an ergo keyboard and I'll probably add memory later. The power supply seems adequate though I may upgrade later as this is usually the thing that manufacturers skimp on. Overall, A great machine for a great price.
