I am working on a complex set of video edits and the increased RAM is really helping me trudge ahead so that is definitely a positive. The computer is working ok with the exception that there is some boot-up issues. I have been leaving it on and just turning my monitors off at night. Because it gets stuck on the HP logo screen forever on boot-up I have had to unplug all USB's except for keyboard and mouse and boot it up in safe-mode. It has been a little annoying.
