Product details

The Compaq CQ-2930EA Desktop PC is a great PC, suitable for the whole family.

Windows 8

The brand new Windows 8 operating system is here and included in your Compaq CQ-2930EA Desktop PC.

An exciting and highly innovative new system, it combines all the important Windows features you love reliably and securely, and it's even easier to use! Operating around a combination of internet apps and a dazzlingly clear and colourful desktop, it dynamically utilises cloud technology for true mobility and flexibility.

The customisable Start screen lets you arrange all your important information and features as required thanks to the beautiful new tiled icon layout.

Windows 8 works just as well if you're using a keyboard and mouse as it does on its intended touchscreen interface, so you still get the same fluid usability however you decide to use your computer.

Simple and reliable

With a solid AMD E1-1200 APU and 4 GB of RAM, you and your family can enjoy the direct and rapid performance of this great Compaq CQ-2930EA Desktop Computer.

Featuring a solid and fast Gigabit Ethernet connection, it's ideal for those essential features. Email, keep up with social networking, do homework or create simple documents, handle your personal finances and surf the web to shop or for pleasure.

AMD processor technology allows you to enjoy smooth HD video playback, edit HD photos and videos at high speed, experience thrilling multitasking and get a kick out of casual gaming with lifelike onscreen characters and compelling effects.

Because the CQ-2930EA Desktop PC has an APU, a traditional processor and graphics card are combined on one chip. This gives much higher processing speed, smooth performance and also lowers energy consumption for a highly efficient PC.

The integrated high-definition 5.1 audio processor also gives you incredible sound quality to enhance your movies, DVDs and web content for an incredible all-round computing and entertainment experience.

Innovative expansion features

Thanks to the included HP Connected Remote function, you can play music and videos remote on your HP desktop PC using a smartphone or tablet.

You'll also be able to such photos across your PC, smartphone and tablet for quick and easy sharing using HP Connected Photo.

The CQ-2930EA Desktop Computer also comes with software that allows you the chance to win ‘Money Can't Buy' Experiences and VIP concert tickets, as well as unlimited streaming of the Universal Music Catalogue for free. It represents an exciting new leap forward for internet interaction in simple home computing.

There's also HP Support Assistant to provide you with an interactive solution to keep your PC performing at optimum levels. You'll be provided with 90 days of pre-installed software assistance for your PC to have the best start too.

Ample connectivity

The Compaq CQ-2930EA Home Computer gives you a massive 6 USB 2.0 ports for connecting your mouse, keyboard and other peripheral devices like memory sticks, external drives and other interactive media.

There's also a VGA and a DVI-D port for connecting monitors and visually expanding your PC.
