Sorry, but I returned this computer to Staples during the first week I had it, so I can't answer this question.

Yes.....the large hard drive is adequate for photos. I am still using my p6710 but surprised this model is still available to purchase after two years.

I'm using it for gaming too, i put 16 gigs of ram in, 500w power supply, and gt 630 nvidia card. Pc now is very powerful, windows ranks gaming at 7.3. I think for simple tasks youre fine. 1 tb i think would last a lifetime for just photos. Even if you take them all the time. Honestly though, get the newest HP version thats out now, this i think is 2011? model? I love it, been using it for 3 years, but get their newest.

As a general PC it is fine. We are not using it for gaming. Boot up takes maybe 15 seconds.

It's an ideal machine. Since you're working with video, you might want to make sure the ram is maxed out if it's not already. 8 gigs is max.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I think this computer is too slow and clunky for gaming. It's a great computer for other things, such as spreadsheets and office work, and fine for photo work.

This is an excellent high end pc. The advantage of all in one is that you don't have separate big bulky CPU tower. One unit has has everything. Basically the monitor has everything in it. It's pretty fast and for a person who is not PC literate this will be a good starting point. I use Windows 8.1 (You can upgrade for free from Windows 8) and I do not have any issues.

You may want to go for something stronger, otherwise if you buy this PC then consider upgrading its graphics card and/or processor. It'll be great for medium sized projects but you might want to go bigger.

The processor (2.4 Gz Intel Core 2 Duo) is über fast. You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, maybe even to 6 GB. Very fast!

Its a dual core, i7, 1.9GHZ/3.0GHZ, with 256gb ssd. No hard drive. It is plenty fast and has all the storage I'll need. Up and running in under 10 sec.

Seems it is not possible unfortunately, but since there is a good SSD(128Gb), you will face a good performance even with only 4Gb RAM, and I think you also can use a Super Speed USB Pen Drive as a ReadyBoost to extend cache...

I`m not an expert, but in my opinion, you don·t need to do that. 128G SSD is enough. If you really want to do that. you may lose the guarantee. There are two ways to solve this problems.1 You can buy a mobile HDD. 2. You can buy a SD card . Have a good spring vacation!

this depends on what the main task is. If you are using it for email and internet then you are good to go. If you are going to do some photoshop editing and 3d modeling then way too low. Hopefully this help.

Onboard graphics shares memory with RAM. I suppose you could get by with an external HDD (or even a flash drive), but it won't nearly be as fast as mSATA. Consider booting from USB when installing the OS, and imagine doing it everyday.

facebook games (Flash games) take very little processing power. So you don't need a fast or powerful computer. My recommendation would be something with at least 4 GB RAM and an i3 processor (these would be the minimum specs for Windows 8 anyway). I am a huge fan of ASUS for their build quality in the price range.

That is not something I use it for. I think based on what I have experienced though it would work fine. If that was what you wanted a pc for then I think the next model up would be better for the graphics you want. Better but not necessary. I am very happy with mine,

It has limited internal memory. You will need to buy a card. Everything else is included.

I use it to edit camera RAW photos. If you have a thunderbolt equipped laptop I would think that this would be plenty fast.

It would help load up Photoshop and Lightroom, but you won't see any great performance bumps in the processing of photos. (unless you're editing the same photos for extended periods of time). otherwise you'll be limited by the regular hard drive speed, processor, RAM, etc.
