opening the box first impressions - decently packaged, fairly clean, few smudges on the front plate, but no dents/dings/scratches.I'm in IT, so the first thing i did was pop the cover to confirm if my fears were true (if it was an actual 1tb SSD or a 1TB SSHD) because the HP website doesn't show 1TB SSD as an option and the amazon listing showed a HDD rotational speed of 7200RPM.. well it was an actual SSD (kingfast).CONS - the 2 biggest issues i found with this thing were, 1 the HP website says there are 4 sata ports.. unless the 4th one is hiding somewhere, there's only 3.. 2 of which are used by the internal SSD and the CD drive.. there are slots for 2 additional 3.5" HDD's, so if you want to use both, you have to disconnect the CD-drive (not a huge issue, because who uses CD's anymore anyway).. and lastly the case is tool less, which means you have to have HDD mounting screws or trays to clip in.. it doesn't include these.. soooo now to wait another few days for some $8 screws and $10 short sata cables to show up so i can install my 2 3tb drives.. and a not so big issue, it came with spanish and french versions of office 365 installed.. no biggie, i'll uninstall.. the uninstaller is also in spanish/french.. so you get a budget rosetta stone with your purchase too.. :p
