...Hp is the best computer brand to date. Hp is the most user friendly, most customizable, and also the most stable. I have never heard of a bad review about Hp before. Definitely recommend Hp to a friend. Hp seems to last the longest out of any Pc. Hp customer care is very genuine and you always get a live person. There are a number of things you can customize, the chassis (body) with different sizes, designs, and a number of different styles. Prices are the only down side to these computers, although you know you are getting genuine products and parts. You can also at any time send in your computer and get it re-done to keep up with time.I don't see any reason not to buy one....

Advantages: Very stylish, reliable high specification PC Disadvantages: HP software not really needed.
...The hp dc7800 is a brilliant consumer product,
i currently work for a computer firm and we have had quite a few HP deskyop PCs brought in and installed for our clients.
The Hpdesktops are very reliable and speedy machines, they tend to come complete with manufacturer software such as:-
- Roxio CD/DVD creator
- HP system software manager
- HP protest tools security software
The hp software is not really needed but the roxio cd/dvd creatpr is very useful.
This PC will be perfect for business use, and possibly a decent gaming machine.

...Well, HP have moved on to computers now. Even though they only make 0.08% profit on each machine (compared to Dell's 8%) they still reamin true to their cause. As this is a HP machine the case is at a high standard and the optical and floppy drives match the colour of the case. The specs are just OK and the PC could be used for gameing, but not next gen. I think it would struggle with things like Farcry, but the P4 is a nice touch, though some would say a P4 woud be overkill as a PIII would suffice. It is a buisness PC and would cope very well with word processing and such, but in overclocking it kinda missed the target. Overall a nice, good looking PC but not that of a harcore gamer....

As you all know by now we are in the middle of replacing all of our workstation PCs at work and we have been buying the excellent DC7700 range from Hewlett Packard.
However, in my most recent purchase, I hit a small snag.
Until now, all of our previous more
