Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
First off - I ordered this on Monday afternoon - and it was delivered Tuesday morning!! So far, after setting it up and burning the recovery discs, everything is working smoothly. I like Windows 7 - loading my enormous graphics packages was a snap. Random thoughts: the box is HUGE - but I have plenty of space on my desk - and I've heard the larger boxes are less likely to overheat. It's probably as quiet (or noisy) as my old Compaq desk computer and my former laptops. The "on" and DVR buttons are large and easy to find. Something new: the keyboard has "floating" keys. So far, very easy to type on - I'm just concerned how much dust and dog hair will build up under the keys? On the other hand, maybe this style of keyboard will be easier to keep clean? Time will tell. There's a flat tray on top of the box, that's supposed to hold your "media" things as you download them; and there's 4 USB ports, plus a mic and speaker connection. This is probably really cool and a smart thing to do - but since I'm hardly a media whiz; I've put a piece of tape over these ports so they don't collect dust/dog hair. The only thing I download is photos - and the photo card slots are on the face of the box. I'm REALLY happy with my purchase!!! On edit - after 2 days of loading big graphics and mapping software programs: I LOVE this computer!! Have had no problems or glitches - Windows 7 makes everything nice and intuitive (and offers some cute features like the ability to plaster "yellow sticky notes" all over the desktop). I have always referred to myself as a "Speedbump on the Information Superhighway" - so for everything to have transferred, linked, moved...from my old computer to this new one without a single hiccup, really speaks volumes for how well-designed this is.
