Not really loving the quality of HP computers.. I did some reading and they don't seem to be geared towards anything... just a general computer.
Mine has been a very good computer just miner problems which were my fault it's a really good computer
Oh also, the cheaper one supports more instruction sets in the processor (more hardware/software support) and has more usb 3.0 ports than the more expensive one.
Did you buy it already? I have some input I built my own computer and I built a $4000 computer for my friends dad which whips booty.
