My old gaming laptop (retired from gaming and turned into an entertainment unit for my flat screen tv) wound up with a HDMI port glitch.  Tried everything I could to get it to keep working, then found up a LOT of people had same problem, but most of them started having the problem 5 years ago and no one could fix it because it's the chipset.  So, I got this unit as it had everything I needed, even a DVD player for some of the old DVD's I still have laying around.  Been using it for a few weeks, maybe a month, with no problems. Sound is better than the gaming laptop and have no idea why! Same exact surround system but the sound is just a LOT better and no distortion in bass (not one setting has been changed in surround system and still using same streaming service and VLC to watch already owned movies).  If you purchase it for what I use it for, you'll need a Display Port to HDMI adapter cable - also available here on Amazon in varied lengths.  [UPDATE] Had still been using this to watch movies that were not on TV's Amazon Prime or CBS All Access; figured it has a good 100 hours or so in the past few months, plus an hour of just playing music one day while cleaning.  Thought power supply went out. An older version of this is on 24/7 for the past 2.5yrs+ (pay bills, do banking, everything on it, including this review).  Bought a "New Genuine HP 240W Power Supply 751884-001" and replaced it.  Nothing. Removed/unplugged every peripheral, right down to RAM and tried again (been in computer repair since 1998), expecting at least some error beeps - simply dead MB. Sure was not worth the price.
