Ultra nice computer: I bought my HP S3620 the end of November 08 and wanted to give it a good workout before commenting. The verdict? This computer has been great! I’ve loaded a few new heavy duty programs on, it hasn’t slowed down in the least. I’m a big picture person and the number of photos I have in my files is tremendous, yet it still runs fast. I also play some games on the computer when I’m bored and the quality & speed is amazing compared to many computers I’ve seen in action and decidedly my older computer. At a performance rate of 3.0 I have to wonder at the accuracy of the score. Although I will admit I’m not in to heavy gaming, other than an occasional AOL video poker or slot lounge game. Sure there are a few quirks and if I were more computer sauvey I’d delete what I’m not utilizing, if it would save more mem. One quirk that has driven me nuts is, when bringing up the D: factory_image/or properties of, the bar indicates all but 10% of my space is free on that drive. Yet opening it up, after clicking on show all files, shows absolutely nothing taking up space. Where is the 90% used space I ask? I’m beginning to think its a phantom read because it doesn’t appear to be a true measure.

The computer is streamlined and looks great. Runs cool and quietly. I am an XP gal, but have learned to love the qualities in Windows Vista. It just takes a little getting use to. For the most part, I’m a very satisfied customer.

Just wanted to come back on board and mention the D_Factory drive contains the recovery files. Its smaller than the C Drive and is meant just to hold the recovery files and 10% extra free space. Don’t delete it or change any of the registries to obtain more space. Its there for a very good reason as I found out. Still more than satisfied with my computer.
