You are probably at best buy googling this computer or you are at home searching for computers on your phone wondering if this would be something you are interested. It is. You maybe like I am and bought the computer and wanted to see all the separate reviews on it to see if you bought a great computer. You did.
I have a little history on why I bought this computer so bare with me. I had a HP n6130 from 2008. My ex and I bought it together and its so old I don't even date her anymore and my son is 7. But about a 1 year ago I asked her to give the computer to me for 50 bucks, replaced the graphics card, up graded the ram, upgraded the power supply, upgraded the wireless adapter (probably should have bought a new computer then), and even upgraded from windows vista to windows 7..
But it was still running slow the duo core was 64 bit but ran windows 64 bit slow. So I got a new position at work and decide to go buy a new computer. I had to chose between a HP I5 and a levonos I5. I went with the levonos cause it was cheaper and it was in stock. So I got it home and they apparently have a 12 pin to connect my power supply to instead of a 24. Big problem. I wanted to transfer that power supply and my graphics card over. So I checked amazon and ordered the cord. But the cord I ordered was 14.
I then returned it and saw this one. Figuring it was the same one I saw the other day but they had it in stock. I was so wrong, this is a 7 gen I5 that was a 6 gen. It runs super fast. The operating system is on the 120 gig SSD drive. So start up time is like 10 seconds. And my last computer even with the upgrades was at least 2 or 3 minutes it seemed like.
So before I started it I took out the 300 watt power supply, put in my 500 watt, took my rx 460 graphics card I got from best buy and put it in the computer, took my netgear wireless N ac 1200 adapter (this came in handy) and of course my razor black widow keyboard along with my Logitech mouse. All which I got from bestbuy.
The problems I had was that at first I had to connect straight to the onboard hdmi outputs. Took me a minute to figure what was wrong cause I could see it start but then it would go away after seconds. But I found out it was only through the hdmi on board graphics. Downloaded my software rebooted and it ran perfectly on my graphics card, that's a first for me...Usually I have to do that a few times to get that work. Love this computer.
Other problem I had is that the wifi wouldn't work. Fortunately I had an Ethernet cord that 25 foot long and used that. Once I got on the internet downloaded the software for my network usb adapter it worked like a charm. In other words the wireless network on here is terrible.
So In all this a fast computer, easy to set up. I never tried the keyboard that came with it, or the mouse. I always recommend getting your own mouse and keyboard. HP is a good brand and it didn't come with a bunch of software that I had to get rid of. Plus I forgot to mention I have a external LG blue rewriter so I don't use the hard drive. I heard on the model before this it was flemsly but oh well I don't use it. Good luck on adventures buying a desktop but I love this one.

So I bought a 2011 imac desktop, Great system but unfortunately it wasn't a typers keyboard. The keyboard was mostly for execs in their office so they could look good an type. Cause besides college students and rich people who else have time to waste money on computer items like a 2,000 dollar mac? Well thank goodness I was a college student at the time.
Got the product home and had to scrap that keyboard an mouse. I went back to bestbuy and unlike usually where I know more than the sales floor associate, I ran into an employee he actually was telling me about this solar power keyboard. I can't remember what he exactly said but it was along the line of "once its fully charged you can be in the dark for 6 months and it will work". Now not for sure if thats true or not. I mean there is now way he experimented with that.
I lost the receiver to it and I end throwing it away. I guess back then I didn't take very good of keyboards or mouses. And some of the buttons came off pretty easily. I will say that the keyboard always worked. I never seen it low. And I don't know anything about that user on another review on here was saying "keeping it on my patio". I don't remember it ever not working. Easily the best keyboard I have owned.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Is this is a full size keyboard? Same size as a Macbook Pro?

This is a full size keyboard and I don't like the keyboards on the macbook pro or any macs for that matter. I like this keyboard on here Its a full size. I have a imac and i hated that keyboard and bought this one.
