I have been using laptops for several years for a small business but at some point you have more than laptops, or the ones I have had, can handle. Thinking a desk top would be what I need, I saw this one and for the price I decided to try it and I have been surprised with how well it works. Easy setup and if you have everything backed up, you just log in and everything is there - pictures, documents, powerpoint...its there.The one think I didn't think of was wifi. This is ethernet, so needed to drill a small hole in the ceiling of the basement/floor of living room where modem is and run a short cable through it. After that it works good. One drawback to that is down loading from HP - it won't with ethernet, so I still Have to use a laptop for scanning.With all that said, I would buy it again. Its fast, no noise and plenty of storage space. Just right for my needs.
