Bought this computer on February 25 using the free shipping (estimated 5-7 days) and it arrived on February 27! Overall, no complaints. But there's a few things you should know. The computer isn't as quiet as the specs claim; the fan emits an audible hum. Still, it's a far cry from the roar of the AMD Duron Athlon I had custom made in 2000 and upgraded from. However, said roar is perfectly duplicated by this system when a DVD is burned or initially read-accessed. At times I can also hear metallic clicks (sounds kinda like when you crinkle foil) indicating that the computer is processing something. While noticeable, they're not loud.
CDs take quite a few seconds to auto read; my old PC detected them almost instantly by comparison. About the hard drive size, I confess that I was ignorant to the fact that video cards and other internal components can consume 35 or more GB of space. This was what the HP rep told me when I called asking the reason that my A6330F was showing 465 GB and not

I have owned a few computers over the year, and this is by FAR the best of the lot. It's quick and wonderfully quiet -- I don't hear it at all.
I also should mention something about the Vista software since a lot of people are displeased with it. As my research prior to purchasing this unit indicated, it seems that your computer needs a certain amount of power to run Vista efficiently. And, while I'm no authority on computers, it seems that this figure would be about 2 GHz. Regardless, Vista runs beautifully in this unit and I love the new features.
I've had my HP for about a month and could not be happier. I recommend it highly.

The HP Pavilion a6300f is a nice computer, except for the graphics card. It is only a 128mb NVIDIA GeForce 7100. It has bare minimum specs for todays cards. Unless you are an avid computer gamer, this would be a nice home computer. I updated to a 512mb NVIDIA GeForce 8500 for $78, which was cheaper than buying a computer with the card already in it.
