Love it

A short review: As a long time fan of the Battlefield franchise, I have to say that I've received exactly what I expected with this title. There are still a few glitches present (kneeling soldier slides around and a couple of times it felt like I was shot behind cover), but for the most part, this is a great game for someone like me.

Best card I ever bought!
on May 28, 2016
Posted by: DOTs
from Pa
Verified Purchase:Yes
Just holding the card in my hands, I had some reservations. I took it to the checkout counter anyways, because why not? Sometimes you have to live dangerously!
After taking the card home, I still wasn't fully confident in my decision, so I waited before using it.
Then, I had to figure out what to use as a scratching tool. My finger nails didn't do a great job at first, so I searched for something better. It was hard to find the right tool, because you never want to over scratch or you may scratch a hole in the card!
Eventually, with an old brown penny, I gathered enough courage and scratched off the coating that covered the secret code. The coating came off with only minor denting of the underlying card.
With the code laid bare, I logged into my PSN account and set about entering it. It went without any difficulties. Every number fell in its rightful place like the ridges of a freshly cut key over the tumblers in the lock of my front door.
I ignored the PSN when it questioned my desire for applying the card to my account and just did it!
In the end, everything worked great, but I decided to throw the card away anyways.
Hope this review helps someone.

Good bang for the buck.

I would recommend this machine to any casual pc user. It is not a hard core gaming rig, but it does offer expandability that should make it a decent game rig. The power supply is only 300 Watts, but there are entry level videocards that don't need alot of power. Look at some Nvidia gtx 750 powered cards. Several have lower power requirements and are short enough to fit in the HP Envy's case.
More power hungry cards, if they fit, can work if you upgrade the power supply. Best Buy offers some cost effective power supplies in the 500-600 Watt range. This is about as far as you'll likely get on the upgrade path, though. Internal and external drive bays are limited or non-existent.
All in all, for a casual user, this pc should last many years.

This seems perfect for kids to use with their school accounts. The usb ports allow you to plug in full size keyboard or mouse or a memory stick/ card reader.
With limited use, my experience is that battery life, sound (volume and quality), and picture quality are very good.
This is a very good internet browsing tool.

How to judge?

How can a common user judge security software?
I can say that installation was easy and it wasn't too hard to figure out how to do a system scan. Whether it works well or not, I can't say. At least I haven't noticed any malware, but good malware will be invisible, anyways.
I'm giving this a good rating for a good user interface.

I have only used this drive a handful of times, but it seems to do the job very well. I only use for playback, not burning. Playback of commercial dvds has been very good. The only difficulty I've had is with figuring out which software I'm supposed to use for playback! Windows 8.X still confuses me...

Does it have Hyperthreading for the purpose of creating Apps?

Does it have Hyperthreading for the purpose of creating Apps? I'm looking for a quad core CPU to be able to create Android Apps and Windows Apps.
I believe that only i7 cpus have hyperthreading. Check the intel website.

Video Card?

What video card does it come with? I don't see the video card that comes with it.
It doesn't have a video card. It uses the onboard graphics of the cpu. If you want to do graphics intensive tasks, you'll need to upgrade and add a video card, but you'll need to get one that works with the meager 300W power supply.

Can the charger be used in Europe [220v] ?

Can I plug my chromebook in with just an adapter and no voltage converter?
I'm no electrician, but the brick states input range of 100-240V, but the input cord is the North America three prong plug. You will need an adapter.

video

My kid loves making front faced videos that he calls documentaries. Is this a good computer for making front facing video and downloading to youtube?
I believe it should work for this purpose, but I've not really used the webcam.
