I'm delighted with this PC, and the reason is that it is only one on the market today with a low wattage processor. The AMD Athlon II X2 260u is designed to operate at only 25W, compared to the other low energy 250e at 45W. Most other processors are typically at 65W with more powerfull processors at 100W. It is only bested by the Intel Atom at 15W, but that is seriously underpowered. The 260u is plenty powerful for all desktop applications (except of course games, which isn't relevant to my requirements).

I also chose this machine as it guaranteed to have up to 8GB RAM available. I not kidding when I say there are newly released PC's sold today with max of 4GB but because of chipset limitations has to reserve a quarter of that for hardware resources, whether used or not. This is nothing to do with graphics reserved memory which can be dedicated and nothing to do with not using 64-bit Windows 7. It's because the "system addressable space" on the motherboard must be greater than 4GB so Windows 7 can use all the installed RAM.

Windows 7 requires at least 2GB RAM, so there's reassurance that this PC will have enough headroom to deal with anything I intend to run simultaneously.

I bought this on January 25, 2011. I wanted to get back to the desktop arena because I work from home and 12-16 hours a day on a laptop has its pros and cons. So I said well let me get this. At first I was skeptical because of the processor being under 2.0 ghz but it works excellent for me. I think people now get to wrapped up into speeds. I am not a heavy gamer at all so its perfect for the games I do play. I did upgrade the ram from 3 gig to 6 gig for now. I will max it out at 8gb in the near feature. The extra ram makes a noticeable difference, and if you do upgrade the ram.. please note it does take Laptop ram, not desktop ram! This is a great system and the speakers sound great and the screen is crisp and clear. You will not regret this purchase!

I bought this computer as first choice and I wasn't dissapointed. The computer is simple and easy to use, its not filled with ports that you will never have to use. The style is very sleek and professional with a lovely sized bright screen and I particularly like the keyboard look.
I enjoyed using the built in webcam and software that is already installed in it. My friends and I had fun using all the funny faces and effects and the webcam alone is of great clear quality, great for taking pictures. The built in speakers have a good volume and this compact computer really does save space. I literally took 5 minutes to set it up physically and 10 minutes to do the computer set up.
All in all, I think it is well worth the money and a great buy.

I really love this HP Omni 100-5050 Desktop. The 20" Widescreen display is so awesome, it's just like you're watching television. I love that it has 6 USB ports to allow me to connect numerous USB devices to it simultaneously. HP has really outdone themselves with this model. This PC is so much better than my old HP tower desktop that I purchased six years ago. I can't believe how quiet the PC is. I hear no hard drive churning or no internal fan constantly running which was always a distraction with my old desktop. The only thing I would have liked was if this PC would have come packaged with a wireless mouse and keyboard instead of the wired ones. It's no big deal to me though. This PC was a great purchase.

Purchased the HP All in One from Amazon....received it promptly[...] Gave to son and daughter-in-law for Christmas and they have been very pleased. Easy set up....nice appearance.Would recommend shop comparing at Amazon for anything!

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas. She has lots of papers to write and research to do for her school work this year, and this makes it easier. I don't share well! It sets up sooooooo easily and works great. I just added student office 2010 and she is set to go.

I've spent over a month researching desktops, trying to find something sleek, yet powerful without having to spend the money on an iMAC or have space taken up by towers and cords. The set up for the HP omni was simple and easy. It has a beautiful and innovative design, powerful, fast, and worth my $500. Thank you so much. Great product. Great seller.

I ordered this computer because I wanted a smalled unit. To say I was pleased is an understatement. The HP Omni 100 is everything I had hoped for an more. Of course I am still learning about all the capabilities of the unit. I have used the built in webcam to Skype with my granddaughter and great grandson who live in California! It was great to be able to see and talk with them at the same time. I would recommend this computer. It was easy to set up (a matter of fifteem minutes, at most!). A good value for the money and does a good job for me.

This is a great buy. The display is so clear and easy to read. It really cleaned up my desk area by not having to make room for all the components.

I looked around for awhile before finding my hewelett packard all in one pc . I was skeptical at first . But I see how easy it is to use , the updates are an added plus . I highly recommend this all in one pc to everyone . Desk is not so cluttered with it .
