Summary: disappointed
Review: I had expected a lot more of this computer. Many of the programmes installed give more problems than pleasure (Media Center; Help and Support; and more). I am afraid that I cannot reccommend a better product, for lack of knowledge, but DO think twice before buying this computer unless you want a lot of headache.

Summary: Problems Straight out of the Box
Review: We hooked it up just like instructed and windows would not boot up. It kept saying that \WINDOWS\system32\config\SYSTEM was missing or corrupt, ran the system recovery was on the phone with HP for over an hour. Finally I decided to return it. Due to this STUPID policy at Circit City I had to exchange or forfeit 15% of my refund for restocking fee. So fine we get another one. WELL this happened three more times. Three computers later I phoned the manager and demanded a full refund because there was nothing else there that we were interested in. By this time HP had already sent us 8 CD's to reinstall everything. We did this on two of the three HP Pavillion's from Circuit City. We have always had HP and never had a complaint about anything. So my husband convinced himself that maybe they were damaged in shipping or stocking and decided to go to Office Depot to purchase an almost identical model. WELL GUESS WHAT?????????? SAME THING!! HP is sending us 8 more CD's and we are going through this again. I wont give a completely terrible rating because I feel that it us a good computer. and their customer service is very professional and are very willing to get the matter resolved as quickly and easily as possible. BUT, Word to the wise about these HP PAvillions that come loaded with Windows XP....BUYER BEWARE!!!
