I would like to use this computer for powerpoint presentations using CD disk and hooking up to internet for email. Is this good choice?

The one that was sent to me was constantly quitting and was not very usable. Perhaps if you found one in working order, that would be feasible.

I would say no. The equipment is so outdated, that most websites ask you to update your browser, and when you try to update your browser it says your cpu does not meet the minimum requirements.

Yes but it won't have the highest performance. Good for web browsing and emails.

I wouldn't buy it from the outfit I purchased it from. Nice computer, depends on the software you need. mine came with Basic Office. You won't be sorry with a HP.

Yes, downloads are available, but you can also buy a USB CD/DVD drive for under $25. Always good to have a CD/DVD drive anyway. Another alternative if you have a network is to have another computer "Share" their CD/DVD drive and use that.

Genius uses a USB node. I have used it up to 8 feet away from my computer. Would be great for presentations. It takes some practice to get used to the different mouse functions, but once you get used to the scrolling/air function you'll be ok.

Roger... The image quality on this is probably the best you can buy for a web cam. If you don't mind spending extra, just get the retail box model with the CDs and whatnot. There other plug and play items out there from Microsoft which will take all the guesswork out of getting a webcam going... just sacrificing a SMALL amount of image quality.

I have the 8 gb model and have run powerpoint presentations on it. On a couple of slides, there were minor formatting fixes I needed to do, but all-in-all, did a very good job.

Yes, I am a middle school teacher, and I used it to show PowerPoint presentations to my class that I had saved on my computer's hard drive, and presentations that I had saved on my thumb drive. In addition, I was able to show movies I had made using Movie Maker, and DVD's that I had purchased. It's a very good projector!

Your machine must have a video viewing program of course & you might try emailing the presentation to yourself & then capture & save on your system from there. Or I know there are video capture programs out there, but that means an expensive purchase. In order to save onto a disk, you probably need a DVD capable drive as well. Personally I like the email option & Windows should include some kind of video viewer.

Trial version of Microsoft Office (inclusive of Microsoft Word) is loaded on. Internet performance is a bit slower than my desktop, but it is not all that bad. Has WiFi connectivity as well as you can plug a cable straight in. I use both but because of the internet performance I tend to use the hard wire when doing video calls

I think it would be fine, it has plenty of power for that. A nice free Office package is "Kingsoft Office" I highly recommend it, you may also want to buy a micro SD card to expand your storage too.

Short answer, yes. I am pretty technically inclined, yet I had a little confusion while setting this up. Once i got it going, its is amazing, i don't know how i lived without it. If you follow directions well, and are willing to search forums or email support if you run into trouble, i would say go for it. Go with Western Digital Red series hard drives, they are built for servers and are very reliable.

I use it for 3D animation, consuming cpu and memory,certainly for that program so you could use without problems.and has reader / writer cd and dvd .Do not think there's a program that does not run on this computer , it is really good . ( excuse my bad English )

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

I bought this for my wife. It runs QuickBooks Pro 2013, Office 2010 (which has MS Outlook / email), but also an email client, Microsoft Live Mail, browser session, etc. This is a cakewalk for this system. You won't run into performance issues with your requirements as listed.

I think you would find it lacking. It's not really a strong pc. I use it for restaurant pos stuff. It works fine for that, but if I was buying a computer for myself to use daily I would not recommend it.
