Purchased this computer for my wife as a gift, it has been unbearably slow!  Unfortunately she doesn't use it often, so I decided to use it since I was near it.  I could not believe how slow it was.  My 10 year old laptop runs much faster than this.  It takes nearly 8 to 10 mins for an application to fully open.  Will junk it or try to upgrade the hard drive in it myself.  Total sham!
