| 4/23/2010 12:54:40 PM | I have now gotten use to using this new computer. It's Great, very easy to use and have not had too much problem with getting the programs I wanted to keep from my old computer, most worked fine after transfered using the PC Mover Professional and PC Sync. The few I had problems with have been solved with a call to the technical support team of that particular program. I am sure I will be adding programs in the future but they should not be a problem. Excellent Computer! |

|
| 8/26/2011 1:44:40 AM | Sometimes, when this computer reboots it does not load and has to be hard shutdown and rebooted again and again. It has done this since we bought it. We had an engineer look at it and he could not figure out why. A hard drive has gone bad on this system in the past as well. |
|

| 8/11/2010 2:56:52 PM | It doesn't work well with my HP G85 printer. |
|
| 4/10/2010 9:29:42 AM | Generally satisfied, but from time to time I get messages: "[application] HAS STOPPED WORKING" where [application] is often Firefox. Possibly a Firefox 3.6 bug ?? Have also had a couple of automatic reboots while the PC has been idle and unattended, but not enough to classify as frequent. Possibly an ISP problem ?? Web page loading was very slow in both Firefox 3.6 and IE8 during January and February, but this seems to have corrected itself. |
|
| 8/30/2010 1:35:50 PM | I AM SATISFIED WITH IT, BUT LATELY IT HAS BEEN STOPPING EVERY 20 SECONDS OR SO, THEN CONTINUING. DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. |

| 11/4/2009 6:42:39 AM | This PC is 2 weeks old. I haven't "run it out" yet. This online diagnosis is something I've done with all past PCs, and is a good way to benchmark their performance. |
