It's a good computer for adobe programs like photoshop, games like sims 3, HD movies, facebook, lying in bed and all over the house?

Yes, it's great for those things. It's a bit big when compared to a laptop or tablet, so you may or may not enjoy moving it around often, but it works very well, I run all those apps you mentioned.

It does not have an HD in or out. I'm not a game player but its great for facebook- plays downloaded movies from itunes and amazon (great for airplane trips!) and I watch netflix and hulu on it all the time- in bed, in the kitchen while cooking, in the utility room while folding laundry....... It weighs 11 pounds so it travels all over the house pretty easily! A bit heavier than most laptops and longer but I adore it! The built in battery lasts about 2.5 hours and it will warn you when it's getting low- My son plays games on it and seems to enjoy it. He has even talked about buying one when he replaces his computer. All in all, it has been wonderful! It does not have an HD in or out.

It should be a super computer for photoshop and others because of his super i7 processor, but I haven't tried yet that kind of programs, I just use it in bed before I sleep. and I'm not very happy with the windows 8 as well...very sluggish..all over the house isn't very pleasent because is quite heavy and does not have a good way of grabbing it, but once you sit, it becomes very nice because of it's big screen and it does not get hot either under the case. about the duration of the batteries is around an hour and a have.

This has a good deal of memory and reasonable processor speed. It also has a great resolution with an excellent screen.Unless you are a hardcore gamer, it should be fine.

It's a very basic PC good for typing, surfing light gaming and office documents. Not for heavy gaming

Yes and yes. It's a fast machine. But you'll need a graphic's card if you want to play most games. I don't play on mine, but I have a friend that does.

I've been using it mainly for gaming, but yes, it is good for other programs like Photoshop. It's great for storing long macro sequences in each key.

I don't do games. This computer seems to do well with memory. It has on board graphics and it doesn't have room for expansion cards if you need better. Super graphics seems to be important to gamers. It has worked well for me doing video and audio recording and editing, accounting and publications with picture editing.

This is a gaming computer, so its built to withstand gaming needs. Given that, yes, this computer will run premier and photoshop just fine.

Yes. this is a very responsive computer with a lot of options. The only issue I've had is the power cord wearing out. Also, keep the cooling fan clean.

I don't use the computer for gaming but, as I said in my review, this is a good computer for home computing. I'm pleased with the speed for basic household applications and internet, but I think you would be disappointed in it as a gaming machine.

that would depend on what your needs are. This is a laptop with the power of a powerful desktop

Yes it is a very good computer and is easy to use. You should buy Apple Care also, you can ask questions for 3 years.

I would say yes, but I have not used this computer for too long. You know that at the begining all windows computers perform great, but after a while it starts giving problems. But for now, I have used photoshop, photmatrix and lightroom and everything is great.

It should run photoshop perfectly fine. I run games and tons of productivity tools on mine. I have upgraded my RAM, but most programs are processor intensive over RAM. And the HP can handle most productivity software that you can throw at it.

These Computers Come with NO SOFTWARE so you will need to buy Windows 7 Pro and Microsoft Office and Setup the PC yourself, or if you have a Tech Friend I.T. Guy I'm sure you will like this PC. You can Buy up to 16Gig DDR3 RAM and put in an add in Video Card if you really want to make this a FAST PC! If your not a Tech person I would buy a PC with Windows ALREADY INSTALLED or you can always take it to Staples or Geek Squad and have them help you out. Good Luck! If your in Southern California I am a Certified P.C. Tech and I can set you all up. Scott Matthews

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.

Yes, but it very basic you can watch videos and regular computer stuff, but won't be able to play any games... For youtube and photoshop and things like that it's good enough.
