About HP Elite Desktop PC Computer Intel Core i5 3.1-GHz
Overall Feedback:
75% positive
86% appreciated the premium build quality
The difference between my old laptop and this new computer is mindblowing. I was running a 12 year old laptop with a 100mbps ethernet card.
85% liked the numerous connectivity options
After connecting the VGA adapter, I resolved the blue tint issue and the monitor displayed clear visuals.
I am satisfied with the purchase as everything came as described, including a wireless adapter for keyboard and mouse, and USB connections worked equally well.
80% appreciated the stunning graphics performance, while 20% experienced frame rate issues
I compared the graphics performance of the device with my Xbox 360 and found that it is not as strong as my Xbox 360, but it can run Skyrim nearly as well.
Some games won't even load because of my graphics card.
85% liked the customizable lighting and sleek design
I don't need this computer for heavy gaming like Call of Duty or Rogue Company. I play lighter games such as Osu, The Sims, and Minecraft. I also do digital art on Clip Studio Paint and edit videos on programs such as Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas Pro.
80% liked the generous memory and storage capacity
I have a computer with plenty of storage that runs smoothly and is the most up-to-date one I've had in nearly a decade.
83% praised for its whisper-quiet operation, though 17% found it noisy
I experienced loud noises and constant shutdowns with the device.
86% praised for its blistering processing speed, while 14% experienced slowdowns
I have ordered a graphics card to upgrade my computer and I hope it will be compatible and run smoothly. My computer is still running well and the internet issue has been resolved. However, it did not come with a graphics card and does not support openGL, so it could not even run Minecraft.
82% appreciated the easy upgradability options, though 18% found it difficult
The DVD drive is not functioning properly, but it's not a major issue for me since I rarely use it. However, I'll have to deal with it in the future when I need to make something more permanent.
