When I was shopping for a new computer to replace my Dell Laptop, I wanted a computer that would be powerful enough to handle the editing of all my photos (photoshop), allow me to multitask without slowing down, and be able to download at a rapid pace. I was so excited to find an i7 processor and one that has all the features that this computer has. The guy at the electronic store was raving about this new model. So far, I am on day 3 of owning my computer and I have had the blue death screen come up 3 times, shut down and reboot on me (while surfing the internet) 5 times and stall on me 8 times. When doing more research on this computer, I found out that I did not have a lemon, but that this was a common problem with this series! The only thing I have ever even downloaded was Microsoft Office and Norton AntiVirus. Apparently, this is too much for this computer to handle. Anyways, I am sending this back to the store and getting a Velocity Micro Edge computer. Cheaper and had great reviews on Cnet.com. May not have all the bells and whistles, but at hopefully, it will at least run!

I have been a computer user since the early 1990s, so I know computers very well. I was hesitant to buy the HP Elite series after reading reviews that the Elite series computers would freeze/blue screen frequently due to a motherboard problem. I am glad to say that my HP Pavilion Elite e9290f has no problems what so ever. It is lightning fast and plays all my PC games very well. I’ve spent days researching other vendors including “mom and pop” type vendors for a PC and this HP computer beats them all in price. Also the HP Elite e9290f is super quiet and looks cool too (I like the glowing HP logo in the front). Like other reviewers have said on other sites, this might be one of the best gaming PCs for the price too, since it comes with an Nvidia GTX 260 1.8 GB graphics card. I am also the type who doesn’t post reviews, but I wanted to post this review to let everyone know that there are no freezing problems with the Elite series as some have described in the past.
