good game

Grandson loved the game and plays it all the time. Better than Grand Theft Auto or Call of Duty if you are concerned about violence. I doubt violence does anyone any good but the evidence it is evil is far from clear. Pornography on the other hand is much worse for people and largely ignored. Read something about pornography addiction and the internet and you may turn off your router.

The service is fine - lots of good channels. The company on the other hand is annoying. If you threaten to drop the service they will drop the price. If the person you have to talk to won't, hang up and call again. The next person will drop the price. If you do drop the service they badger you in the mail for the rest of time

Amazon music unlimited is fine but I am at the point where the commercials do not bother me so - I use the free trial and then drop the service. Not as good as Spotify but again I use the free service.

Nice color printer

Great little printer. Don't do a lot of color printing but when you need a little color it works great. Photos look nice enough for me. The toner cartridges are expensive but so far I am still working on the original set. Never had a problem with it and it connected to the wireless network instantly.

The Cuisinart Chef~s Style Tabletop Grill delivers the performance of a full sized grill with the convenience of portability. This grill fires up with 20,000 BTUs of meat searing heat across 275 square inches of cooking space. With all of that power comes a lot of control as well. Two independently controlled burners allow you to set different heat zones for cooking all your barbeque foods and the built in thermometer monitors the grill temp for you. The stainless finish will look as good at your home as it will on the road.

Works great for anyone with an empty nest of no interest in having a grill sitting out in the elements for months on end. Price dropped 16 dollars since I bought it.

A wonderful microphone. Installs with no drivers and works like crazy. You can spend more but the incremental improvement would be lost on me. Did not try the cheaper microphones in a comparison - so I can't say they would not be fine. But I can say I am extremely happy with my microphone and would buy it again. Using it for content creation/online class development.

Very nice tablet - vastly improved over my old iPad. Not sure why anyone would need an iPad larger or lighter or more powerful than this but then again I am not using it for anything more than media consumption, pencasting, and as a projector in my teleprompter. Works great for those tasks.

I use eSet on my computers and so I didn't use the six month trial of Trend Micro's product. I do hate the trialware notion so my ranking is based on the fact that this is little more than a marketing ploy based on the difficulties for many to uninstall such software.

HP Pavilion Desktop: Combine high performance and sleek styling with this HP Pavilion computer. An Intel Core i7 processor handles video editing and gaming, while the 8GB of RAM let you load multiple applications for better productivity. This HP Pavilion computer includes a 256GB M.2 SSD for a fast boot-up process and ample storage space, while the included mouse and keyboard enable quick setup.
 

Are you saying definitively a standard-sized ATX power supply can't be used to have a better video card other than something similar to a Radeon 550? HP's site indicates: "One PCIe x16 socket (for discrete graphic card)." That implies no limitation.

Yes. The limitation is not the PCIe slot, the limitation is the power supply. Not good I know but that is what I have learned. You might be able to use an external video card but you will have to do some hacking to get another video card in. The wiring is not standard.

what is the power of the PSU and will an 8.3 in long GPU fit.

You can't run a video card in this computer. The power supply is only 180 watts and you can't update it because it is proprietary. Intel graphics only.

What gpu does this come with? And could I run double graphics cards?

No you can't even run a single graphics card with this PC. It is only 180 watts and it is proprietary - so you can't change the power supply out either. intel graphics only.

I’m considering the purchase of a new desktop computer; would it be possible to use my current monitor (Samsung model w/ curved screen and PP deskjet 3632)

Yes you sure can use your monitor and your printer with this desktop computer.

What kind of monitor connection is there on this model? We have an older computer that doesn't have a VGA connection but some other kind of weird one that I've only seen on this particular computer. Would like to use the monitor with this computer...

the PC has HDMI and VGA. If you monitor doesn't have VGA or HDMI it has a digital input called DVI. There are a couple of different DVI ports so google it and see if you have the single or the dual dvi input on your monitor. You can buy an adapter to hook the monitor up to the HDMI port on the computer - just make sure you know which DVI port your monitor has.

Yep you sure can use this computer with your monitor as long as your monitor has a VGA input or an HDMI input. You could buy an adapter but most monitors have VGA or HDMI these days.

just bought this computer, plugged it in, turned on, unable to get any sound. does this computer not have speakers? does it have to connect to external speakers to play sound? thanks.

Yep you are right. There is no speaker in the PC. You will have to plug in speakers to the 3.5mm jack in the back of the PC to get sound.

what is the difference between a 1TBHHD and a 1TBSSD or do they make such a drive

An HHD is a traditional spinning hard drive like you have had in all your computers. The SSD is a solid state hard drive. SSD is much faster and more expensive. You will love the SSD drive but it adds about 100 dollars to the price of the computer.

Can I put a MSI GeForce GTX 1050 video card in here or is the case to small to fit one?

No you cannot put any video card in this computer. There is a slot for one but the power supply cannot support a video card of any sort. Further bad news is that the power supply is proprietary and so you can't simply replace the power supply and add a video card. I had no idea about this until after I bought it and contacted HP. Don't even ask about how horrible the customer service is at HP these days. Sell your stock - they are out of business but don't know it yet. They better be selling the heck out of printers.
