Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had to get an updated desktop and chose the HP M01-F3214 PC. This HP desktop has a small 256GB M.2 SSD hard drive (Samsung) and 8GB of HP RAM. When I turned on and went through all of the Windows start-up, I found it to be very responsive considering the minimal RAM and hard drive sizes. I’m impressed with the low-end AMD Ryzen 3 5000 Series processor. This is maybe the 10th computer I’ve purchased from Best Buy over the years, but the first time that I got one in “Open Box” condition. I saved about $130 and used that savings to upgrade the PC by purchasing 32GB of Crucial Pro RAM (two 16GB strips) and a larger 1TB Samsung M.2 980 Pro SSD with heatsink (all from BestBuy). When I opened the box, the power supply was hanging by one screw, easy to reattach. The side cover of the cabinet was also missing the set screw. Not huge issues, but something to note as a quality control issue for the team that sends out “open box” floor models. The RAM was very easy to install, but on the first attempt the system only recognized 16GB of RAM. I powered down, swapped the two RAM strips between the sockets and it worked perfectly the second time. I purchased a Sabrent PCIe card to mount the new 1TB Samsun SSD on the motherboard (there is one PCIe X16 expansion slot). Once it was installed it was very easy to clone the new 1TB SSD, swap them out and reformat the original 256GB SSD. Now I have second internal SSD hard drive mounted on the motherboard. I uploaded a few photos so you can see the motherboard and internals. In one photo of the new RAM, I placed the original 8GB RAM in front for comparison. The case looks like it has a lot of room for expansion. For the price I can’t think of too many “cons” for what I purchased, maybe a USB C port would’ve been nice. Overall, I’m very happy with the performance of this HP Desktop, especially with the upgrades. The parts I purchased to upgrade from BestBuy: - Crucial Pro 32GB Kit (2x16GB) 1600 MHz DDR4-3200 UDIMM Desktop Memory - Samsung M.2 980 Pro SSD with heatsink Not from BestBuy: - SABRENT NVMe M.2 SSD to PCIe X16/X8/X4 Card

I went from a laptop to a desktop and I’m so happy with the new windows 11

Best PC ever. Handles gaming like a champ if equipped with the right wifi broadband. Haven't had it lag at all during game play! Highly recommend

Great desktop computer for those on a budget! A nice SSD for the computer to start up fast and decent specs to last at least a few years no problem! Glad Best Buy continues to include a keyboard and mouse with each computer purchase!

Very good love this product runs very smoothly not gaming px

Everything works perfectly and very fast. Recommended

A great experience!! Great choice and very good value!!

Works great ! I use this mainly for home use , it has worked very well.

Needed a new Tower. This was recommended. Ease of use. Love ❤️ it.

Good starter machine or for one that is doing basic work, web surfing, budgeting, email,etc. Windows 11 is no better running then 10 and I still have to find some of the basic controls available on Windows 10,

Light weight easy to set up and perfect for my personal use

The best brand, the best price, the fastest and most convenient order pick-up, the best service. I don't need to play games, all the work I need to do on the computer, this computer does it brilliantly. The computer works without any noise, and the operation experience is excellent. The most important thing is to buy a computer at BestBuy without worrying about quality assurance and after-sales service.

i was in the market for a new desktop computer, i wanted something simple & inexpensive i chose HP because they’re usually a reliable brand once i hooked it up & started using it i was very impressed with it for being a lower end desktop, for $359 this was a good purchase

I don’t really write many reviews but this PC is an absolute beast for the price point that it’s at. Can handle day to day tasks without a hint of a lag or glitch and also be able to game as well at at a great price. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a PC and a good price while also being a quality machine

So, very pleased with our new tower. Long, long overdue as the previous one was so old & outdated it was constantly freezing. So I could never just complete a task quickly. Have managed to clean up all our pictures & organize them.

Lighting strike shorted out my old surge protector and my PC. This new PC was easy to setup and very fast. Nice value too.

Excellent setup for old school, basic computer user. Hooked up great to 5g hotspot being in rural area. Excellent customer service at Alamo Ranch in San Antonio... once again! Especially Nicholas; who set me up with everything we needed at a great price also.
