i3 processor??  No wonder it's such a good deal.  I have a Toshiba that's probably 8 years old, maybe more.   it has i3.

 

 


Good for you!!  For what I use the computer for that's plenty for me considering i don't store photos, I have no need to Microsoft Office, I only use the computer for email and internet shopping and just researching things.  So an i3 processor is more then enough for me.  It's still a great deal as far as I'm concerned.  This setup totally meets my needs and then some.

I wanted to buy this but, I realized that it does not have a touch screen .... I am hoping HP will have a TSV with touch screen around the holidays ... today's TSV was a great buy even though the printer isn't that great!! 😄

Re: Enjoying Today's HP Computer show

This is the 6th generation I3 and it just came out end of last year.  I have an I7 quad core currently and it is 5 years old, but it is the first generation I7 released in 2011. There have been numerous updates to it over the past 5 years.  There is a big difference between the original I3 and the current 6th generation I3 that is on the TSV.

 When I want to know how well a processor works, I use a benchmark list.

Yes, they did say that in the presentation.  I took that to mean a "new & improved" version"

If you have a windows 7 PC around,  compare the start menu with the one in windows 10.  I prefer the one in windows 7.  Also  -  Classic shell allows you to change the look of the program that lists files, eg,  documents, downloads.  Again, I prefer the look in windows 7.  Yes - you can put icons in the task bar,  but I missed things like "recent items" in my start menu which I use a lot.
