Having my past HP computer for 11 years, it certainly became outdated.  This HP, is certainly an upgrade.  More Core processing, 16 gig RAM with expansion to 32 gig, 1 T SSH drive.  So far everything has been working out, but.  Who's idea was it to place to DVD side-way, vertical orientation of the DVD, certainly would prefer a horizontal tray again, can be a real pain in the _ss removing and installing DVD etc. Also, pre--bundled of microsoft Edge, Office 365 subscription only, cloud or drop=box etc are another pain in the _ss offers which I didn't ask for.
