This computer was purchased for my parents to communicate with my brother stationed in Iraq. They use the web camera and use skype to talk with him from time to time. The computer itself does what they need in a casually used computer. Love the place saving design. Research, that I checked, seems to hold true with this computer. Has all the memory that they will ever need. Processing speed seems a little slow for my personal needs but for them it's great!

I bought this computer for my father's birthday. Before I start off, I'd like to point out that my father is an average computer user and so am I. The computer is mainly used for surfing the internet, reading email, and the basic MS Office Programs. The computer performs well these basic tasks and seems to be quite fast. Physically, the computer looks great. Big display, sleek design etc.

If you are looking for an average home computer, mainly to be used for surfing the internet, etc.. then this machine is perfect for you. If you are looking for more firepower for gaming or graphics I would go in another direction. The 1.6GHZ processor is decent, but will fall short for the extreme users.

Oh, and the price is also great.

Let us keep expectations realistic - the MS225 is a low-end desktop system and is priced accordingly. Given that constraint, it is a very nice system, and I would recommend it to others.

What sold me on this system was: a) the AMD CPU, which, while not a screamer, is dual-core and performs much better than the Intel Atom, the other CPU being shoved into low-end systems; b) the pedastal mount, which is much more elegant than other all-in-ones that rest the display on the desktop with a couple of stand-off spacers.

Oh yes, the pre-installed MS Windows OS was immediately dumped for Ubuntu 9.10, which works like a champ. Even the funky Atheros wireless chipset works out of the box.

The only thing I would change would be to increase the DPI of the display to have more pixels without changing the physical dimensions.

I bought this to replace a 4 year old desktop PC. My disappointment is that it is slower than my old Dell right out of the box. You would think that with 4 gig memory it would be faster. This is probally because of the preloaded software. There are too many HP programs in the system.

This is an awesome computer, super fast for our computer needs! We definitely recommend this cute, sleek, great looking, & useful computer.

Kudos to HP for a job well done!

Works marvel .pretty quick with internet connection. It saved me a hold lot of space on my Desk.

I love this computer...No clutter...fast and the huge screen makes it easy to use and read!

I just wanted a small computer for my professional office where I work part-time and I love this HP Pavilion all-in-one. It takes up so little space, but has a nice big monitor. I could do without some of the extra product ads and labels they stick everywhere (it would look so much nicer and cleaner without stickers that say "Windows", "Intel" and "AMD", etc. on the front of it), but it works great (so far) and does everything I need.

This HP All-in-one computer has everything that I could ask for and more.
Very easy to set up; I was on-line in less than half an hour out of the box.
Good price and quick delivery from Amazon.
Very pleased with this transaction.

I was considering a lap top because of a space issue. Decided to try this all-in one instead and am so glad I did. It meets all my needs.
