This computer is dependable, fairly fast, and fairly powerful. It is dependable and can run many programs at once. I enjoy Windows 8, although it certainly takes some getting used to. The graphics are nice and I can play games with but a little lag. It is a good, sturdy little computer for the money. It is a jack of all trades, master of none. Don't expect it to be able to run 50 programs at once or to run skyrim without lag.
The only complaints I have: the touchpad and the microphone. The microphone sounds as if someone has put a blanket over it. Immedietly after purchasing this computer I bought a microphone off of this website for $15 and it works much better.
I also purchased a logitech mouse. The touchpad is almost unusable. It is slow to respond and sporadically does not respond at all. I will only have one finger on the touchpad and it will suddenly zoom in and out as if I had two fingers on it. If you try and move your mouse to the right of the screen it will swipe in between programs. It is extremely annoying and I do not recommend using the touchpad.
Buy a mouse with this computer and if you want to skype buy a mic as well. With those additions this computer is a steal for the money.

BE FOREWARNED: HP SERVICE / WARRANTY IS NOT RELIABLE!!!The story: I have an HP laptop which I sent in for warranty checkup (fix some rubber screen bumpers, cleaning, fan noise, etc.) On the way there or at HP, it got damaged, which they claim was my doing and wanted $128 to fix it! They were nice saying that was a ½ price offer! But THEY caused the damage to the laptop!? The reps said, "Do you have pictures of the laptop?" Ha! So when I refused to pay and it was returned, it would not even turn on! I had a professional engineer open it and he said it must have been violently dropped as the CPU had come unseated. Also they cracked the hinge on one side, so I couldn't close the lid w/o snapping the screen off. I wrote a letter to the head of marketing and his assistant called back. He offered me a nominal amount to trade up to another new laptop. I declined as it wasn't a reasonable offer. So be forewarned: IF you get an HP product, the repair dept. may break it and the company will NOT fix it. They will blame you. IF you do send it in for repair, take a dozen photos from every angle as you'd have some proof. I'd take a picture of the box just before you send it as well. I have had 2 laptops, a camera, and printers from HP. Never again. I also sold my shares of HP stock! BUYER BEWARE! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE EVER! p.s. I did not purchase THIS exact model.
