I am so happy that I was able to find a Windows 7 desktop.
  Windows 7 desktop were a thing of the past a while ago, which I found out looking for one. Windows 8 maybe nice but I'm old school. I like the old system; "travel the rivers and the valleys you're use to." I'm sixty years old and I just don't want to have to learn something new right about now.
 The computer is in stellar condition. But when it arrived, there was no keyboard or mouse but when I contacted the seller and Amazon, they took care of that right quick, thank you. All in all the computer is a great work horse and fast and have plenty of room for up grades. I installed a new sound card, (ASUS) because I am a music addict and the computer was only carrying 32 bits in that department. I think it was geared more to businesses as opposed to home use. I guess you should be tending to work and not jamming to sounds. lol  Anyway I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend this seller.

My beloved Sears Kenmore super top of the line sewing machine finally gave up the ghost this year, after 40 years of faithful service and a lot of great clothes and quilts. Wow, it was like losing a part of the family. But I can't do without a sewing machine for long, not with a quilt for my granddaughter ready to be pieced.

I did some comparison shopping, checked the reviews, looked at my budget, and decided that this Brother machine was the best match for what I wanted to do, as an advanced user. I had never used an electronic machine before, so I knew there would be a learning curve, but honestly, the machine made it easy to adapt to the new technology. I still reach for the presser foot lever in the wrong place, but I'm sure eventually my hand will automatically go to the inside the way it used to go to the back. And this machine can do more than the old one could. Lots of things for me to play with and learn.

This is a little bit old school but I love it! Works flawlessly.

I have been working with computers since my first TRS80 Radio Shack computer many years ago.  I was nervous ordering this machine after reading some of the reviews here.  I have to say emphatically that I am very happy that I ordered this machine.

The main concerns that I have read about here involve the Trackpad & the Keyboard.  Guess what...?  There are no issues with either!!  I am typing this review on this machine, and I am having a great experience.

In addition, all of the positives mentioned by others seem to be true.  I am soooo looking forward to using this computer for both business and personal use.

I am normally very picky about my tech, and I have to recommend this machine.  It is my first Asus computer, and I am impressed!

Okay, I must make it clear that I've never used a proper modern electric sewing machine before this. So I cant really compare it with the other machines that are popular in the market today.
What I have used however, is the clunky old antique sewing machine from the days of yore. Y'know the black mechanical one that maybe your grandma used to use. Boy,was I in for a surprise!
Okay this machine allows you to go from stitch a to b at the turn of a dial. Threading is so easy. Bobbin winding is so easy.
But what takes the cake is the needle threader. I know my mother would've been pleased - 90% of the problem with sewing has always been threading the needle. Brother has resolved that.
I like the fact that it has a light too.
The only thing that I need to sort out now is the sewing speed, which is very high compared to... er... granny machines.
In short, it is everything one could ask for and more.
My mother has always been saying that Brother products are well worth their price. Now I know she is right.

I was rocking a rolling on three legs that wouldn't stay in the same place since new.  What a pleasure to finally have a sturdy machine. Good stuff.

Fast and simple installation. Took just a couple minutes from start to finish. Wow! I wish I'd bought this years ago. Very noticeable performance improvement! Yes, it's a dinosaur compared to my newer tablets and laptops but I've always loved my Dell 1012 and now I'll be keeping it around for a while longer.

I bought an HP Pavilion in  2002 and have always been fond of that brand so I thought I would give this HP machine a try.  This was the easiest machine to setup. It is as easy, if not more so, than setting up a laptop. I had one cord to connect to start this up and that was the power cord. The screen is gloriously clear and bright. With the hybrid drive it booted up scary fast. The software all downloaded very fast on wireless. I had been reading some complaints about the dongle not coming along with the mouse so I was fully expecting that to happen. I had no dongle and apparently you don't need one. Both the keyboard and mouse connected right off the bat after I pulled the battery tape out of them both. I will add updates as I live with the beautiful machine.

At age 79, I decided to go electronic. I love this machine, its user friendly, and sews over several thicknesses for me with no effort. I wish the little windows were lighted, but a small light works fine-at this price, I'm still impressed.
I love the thread tack button, its easy to use needle threader, if I can learn to use it, YOU can.
My daughter broke hers!  (Just like mine) She took it to the Singer repair place in the city--it was back on her front porch, all repaired at no charge, the very next day, even though it was 80 miles away! Great service.

It is so nice to be able to play my favorite games again. A decent computer for a great price. Looks spiffy too and my 13 year old son is pretty jealous. I'll likely be back to get him one around Christmas.

I LOVE this machine!  It is my favorite new toy.  It's easy to work tho has it's own personality which wasn't all that difficult to get acquainted with.
Another positive feature is how much more space I now have in my freezer.  I just wish I had gotten this many years ago.

This is Deb, not Thomas - it was bought with his Amazon account. :) First, understand that I have never had a modern, computerized sewing machine. I inherited a basic machine from my mom that was probably made in the 1980s. Wow, the technology has come a long way in 30 years.

In my mind, sewing is an onerous task made frustrating by all the struggles with getting the machine to work properly. Winding bobbins was a major pain, threading the machine properly so it didn't jam seemed like a gamble, and changing a presser foot required breaking out the screwdrivers and becoming a mechanic.

I had this machine up and running in minutes. There are guide marks showing you where to thread it, feet just snap on and drop off with the touch of a lever, you simply push a button to raise or lower the needle to its lowest/highest position.

There are several extra feet and many other accessories, some of which I have no clue how to use. But I made a beautiful rolled hem, took up a shirt that was too big for me, and then played around with the decorative stitches. There are 600 - count 'em - different stitches. I don't know how much I'll actually use them, but how cool is it to be able to write your name and make little rows of hearts and flowers and birds and butterflies? There's even one for BICYCLES, for Pete's sake.

Okay, maybe I'm easily impressed because of my past experiences, but I think this thing is great. It has an automatic needle threader (although I just threaded it myself because that seemed easier), an automatic thread cutter (which is pretty neat, if I can just remember to use it) and all kinds of goodies that the old machine didn't have. I wish my mom could see this - except that she would probably try to take it away from me.

The drive is a breath of fresh air inside of what I thought was an aging machine. Replacing the original 500GB 5400RPM has made an improvement in all load time instances, including app start up. System also fully boots in 10 seconds, loading up all my photoshop templates for work simultaneously. Fantastic price, easy installation (10 minutes, not including OSX reinstall).
