Having purchased the optional set-up (moving programs and files from my old PC), I was disappointed to find that it not only took much longer than I had expected, but also did not transfer everything that I needed. But that might have had more to do with going from a 2007 XP platform to Windows 8 than anything. Much of my software was unusable because of its age.

This computer has an AMD Quad-Core A8 processor with a speed of 3.6 GHz, and 8 GB memory. Looks very impressive but is actually slower than my HP laptop with i7 (1.6 GHz) 4 GB RAM in terms of video rendering, and much slower than a Dell i5 3.0 GHz Desktop PC. It is otherwise fine. Windows 8 is very fast to start, but I use only the desktop programs so far. Once you know the shortcuts, you will like Win 8. I bought it at discount price. Not recommended at full price.

        Have a busy small business and was forced to buy new computer to replace death of older HP desk top. We're in the middle of a big project, so we needed seemless transition.

        Have had a week and after HOURS AND HOURS, still can't get MS Offic2007, SPSS, MapPoint2010, or printer installed. Being told I have to buy all new software hmmmmm... that's about $1200.00. Makes this a very expensive venture. Boxing back up and returning to store.

        I will stay with 7 so much easier. The setup papers were not much help.
