What's great about it: Price
What's not so great: No speed at all
I read all the reviews, half good, half bad, from "it's a dud" to "I LOVE MY NEW HP!"
I went ahead and bought it, hoping the optimists were right.
They were wrong.
I took it home, and even after two reimagings, and over a week of effort, I could not even get this pc's Internet Explorer to run an internet speed test without locking up from all the effort.
Got online with HP support and got someone with a minor grasp of the English language who could only suggest I re-image the pc and nothing else when I told them that did not help.
I took it back and got my refund. Unfortunately (?), another pc model on the floor was out of stock, so I went home empty handed.
DO NOT BUY THIS HP MODEL!!!
You have been warned.
This product is... Inputs which I need, quiet, A nice compact size, Attractive design, Sharp graphics, no speed whatsoever.
About me... Technology guru
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Will I need to purchase a wireless plan to use LAN?

If by LAN you mean a home network with internet access, then yes, you will need to contact a local internet provider to request internet-only access (unless you want the added cost of cable tv).
