5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal home office desktop 13 Mar 2011
By Paul Madge #1 REVIEWER #1 HALL OF FAME VINE™ VOICE
We bought this as a replacement for my father's aging Dell. If you want to continue in the tradition of a desktop as opposed to a notebook or all-in-one PC for home office use then this PC could be ideal for you. In my opinion it offers good value for money, a healthy spec and looks good. However, this would not be a PC to buy if you were looking for high speed gaming performance, but, to surf/download, run MS Word/Excel, edit the odd photograph/video, then it's just right.

Do not be put off by the fact it has an AMD Phenom II processor which may be less familiar than an Intel one - it is both powerful and offers good value for money. The memory (RAM) size is fine at 4Gb and the hard drive is a capacious 1TB - more than many users will ever fill up. Additionally, it has a dedicated graphics card (NVidia Geforce 405) with 1MB of it's own memory - in many PCs in this class they share the system memory which can reduce performance. The PC also comes equiped with its own built-in wireless card - so unlike most other brands you don't have to plug in a USB dongle to connect it to your wireless network - a neater solution plus it saves the cost of a USB dongle. The internal wireless card handles the most common home wireless network standards - 802.11 b,g and n.

The case is a standard size and finished in smart piano black with 6 USB ports, two of which are mounted behind a sliding panel on the front alongside a headphone/mic socket for Skype etc. An additional feature is that the PC is equipped with a TV card which can be set up through the installed Windows 7 (64 bit) Home Premium to receive Freeview TV - a remote control is also supplied, but, beware that you need a free TV aerial feed to connect to.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's All About Service. 21 Nov 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase
HP Pavilion P6780UK Desktop PC, AMD Phenom II, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 7)
I could not be more delighted with my purchase, very well specified, all the above plus internal TV card, Bluray, and several nice touches from HP to boot. Purchased from Amazon, prompt and efficient as usual.
HP are a real joy to deal with. Only two days into my ownership I needed information. Not only did I get to speak to a real person, but after my problem was sorted a supervisor came on the line to tell me that someone from his dept would phone me to see how I was getting on,(which he did). Try that with Microsoft!

3.0 out of 5 stars OK -but 23 April 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
Wanted a replacement for an older HP machine and chose this. Having used it for a couple of days the 6780 seems quick and responsive, so I'm pretty pleased with it in that regard. However, there is a major issue with the HP wireless keyboard and mouse. The keyboard in particular is cheap and nasty - drops characters at random if you type too quick, or the system is busy, or something. And no indication of caps lock. Together these failings make entering passwords something of a lottery. And sadly the system doesn't have a PS2 socket, so I'll need to find an adapter to plug in my old keyboard. The mouse isn't great either. Previously I used a cheap HP wired mouse - the chunkier wireless mouse with the p6780 seems a lot less useable - needs a lot more small wrist movements to control it - I can feel the wrist aching every time I use it. Overall, a good system let down by the cheap peripherals.

3.0 out of 5 stars Expensive 20 Aug 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
My main computer is an HP p6565UK, I purchased the HP p6780UK as a back up. At just over £600 I expected better of this computer, the HP p6565UK costing me just over £400 a year ago. Firstly the HP p6780UK cannot manage to power two HD sources at a time, in other words you cannot run a DVI monitor/TV and an HDMI monitor/TV at the same time as this causes the 6780 to keep crashing and rebooting. I had to buy a separate USB to HDMI coverter. Also you cannot input a composite/SVHS video signal without having to purchase a USB device to enable such a function. Except for the digital TV card it is a very basic computer for a LOT of money. If you want a multi function computer to be part of your home cinema set up then forget this one. An expensive folly indeed!
