"Best purchase I've made in a long time...."
4.5 starson by jeappPros: Easy, easy set up
Really fast
Small and compact
Simple hook up to TVCons: None that I can think of.
Summary: I bought this to replace an older desktop that pooped out on me. I've been without a desktop for almost 6 months, while I saved money to purchase a new one.
I was planning on waiting until after Christmas to buy. But, yesterday, lo and behold there was an ad in the Staples circular for this computer. I did some research and found out that this is a great computer at a great price.
I rushed to Staples (there was only 1 left in the area) and purchased it. The salesperson who helped me was awesome. He put together a bundle for me. The tower, keyboard, and mouse were on sale for $279.00. With an HDMI cable ($40), a wireless mouse & keyboard ($42), Microsoft Office & Student ($149 for 3 computer version), plus a bunch of miscellaneous stuff (like paper, calculator, etc) which would have totaled $550.00 + tax. I walked out of there paying $503.28 INCLUDING tax.
Came home, plugged in the power plug, plugged in the HDMI cable, screwed in the antenna (for wireless), turned it on, clicked a few things and I was done! I've never had it so easy.
Needless to say......I'm very, very happy with this purchase. I don't think I'll ever fill up the 1 terabyte of HD space. The 4 mb RAM keeps it running fast as does the 3.2 GHz Intel dual core processor. It's upgradeable to 8 mb RAM.
It also has a memory card reader, 9, yes 9 USB ports. So I can plug in and charge iPods, iTouchs, anything I want.
I'm not a computer tech or anything, just a stay-at-home mom who needed a new computer. I hope this review helps anyone who's thinking about purchasing this. You won't be disappointed!

$40 for a HDMI cable? Wow, talking about rip off. :D
You can get one for 99c at Meritline almost every week. -
I was looking at this pc and was very interested but you said you had to screw in an antenna for wireless? Staples said it is wireless ready right out of the box. But...rather I would have to purchase the antenna? Also I've heard mixed reviews about the DVD/CD drive, people saying that they have to push it hard to close it. Is this something that has happened to you? Sorry to ask so many things I just want to make sure before I decide to get it. Thanks so much :)
