I have to admit I never considered a hp when I was searching for a desktop. Our family had never had the internet at home, in the past we had had several hand me down computers of different brands, but I wanted to find something that was simple to use, especially for my children ages 10, and 8, I had originally been looking for a DELL, the only brand I was comfortable with , after working with them over the years. My only difficulty was the fact that I would not have the cash to lay down all at once, would need to apply for credit. I went thru all the motions with Dell, had a model all picked out, deal all set, then was denied for credit! So, I found my HP when my boyfriend told me that his first home computer was an hp, that they were reliable, easy to use, lots of power and run to grow..I went online, applied for their hp card, was approved, and picked out my hp pavilion. My only "con" on this purchase, it comes (just got mine less than year ago) with VISTA, and I totally dislike this running program, have had lots of trouble of with it. Love my hp, great product, service, and think when it is time for a new pc, it will also be a HP.
