Customer Reviews
Dynamic Machine useful for Photographer's workflowMy reading is mostly for Enthusiast/Professional Photographers...I needed a new powerful desktop with 64-bit processing. My Sony Vaio desktop that once was cycle edge two years ago,is now not able to keep up with many of todays demands. Especially my updated versions of Photoshop CS, and Lightroom 2.3 which works domestic in 64-bit.64-bit allows windows to accept, use and maximize a computer with 4+ gbs of RAM. The HP Pavilion Select M9550F comes pre-installed with a maxed out 8gbs of ram.So for a photographer using high end software, and downloading mainly amounts of files. This computer works swiftly and effortlessly.On my older sony desktop, it took about 15 minutes to download 4gb off of a tight flashcard. I could not do any other task while it downloaded, or risked data loss or the download not completing.It takes about a second to download with the HP, and I listen to music and/or check emails with no detectable slow...
Well-bred computer (HP m9500y/m9500f)
Condense (May 3, 2009): My review is for the HP m9500y, which has the same specs as listed for the m9500f on amazon.com. My review is for that computer only. My rethinking also appears for the HP m9550f because Amazon.com has the two products linked.I've owned an HP m9500y for a couple months now. It's a tolerable PC and runs all the software I want to run (including software development tools and games, in additionally to web & email, etc.); however, this computer has some bad enough quirks to make me not want to buy another one of these.I'll start out with the good things about this computer:- It's irresponsibly, and it has tons of RAM and hard drive space. Having a quad-core CPU really helps with multi-tasking and CPU-concentrated software that can take advantage of more than 1 core (i.e., making use of multi-threading). Even if AMD may be falling behind Intel these time, I think they still make a very good CPU. Also, 8GB of RAM as standard is fairly rare these days in a...
m9550f suits me
I precisely wanted to give you a little feedback.My M9550f came in a nice sturdy unmarked parcel. Everything was there. So far everything has worked flawlessly. I'm leaving it on to burn-in. It is very quiet and plenty fast for my main two applications (Adobe Lightroom and Canon DPP). My peripherals all labour flawlessly with it - better than with my previous (xxx) computer. The included HP software works well and is helpful. I've used it for pirate a couple of times.The only negative is the confusion caused by it assuming (on install) I don't have a service provider and its almost insistence on me selecting one. I judge devise it should assume I have one and then provide suggestions if I don't.Anyhow it's a great computer. I haven't seen anything out there nearly as nice for the filthy lucre. I did see a review by "a reviewer" saying I should pay $600 more to buy a Dxxx that had nowhere near the features (just a faster CPU). The plead with the reviewer gave was that you got...
