Buying refurbished is always a risk. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. This time I won. This unit has mucho power and memory and everything worked. Using it for light gaming and digital art for one of my sons. Lots of ports but, unfortunately, no HDMI port or wireless internet...which was clear in the description that they were missing. Fortunately I had an internet booster that I could plug in near the computer and use a wired connection. Had to run out and get a USB to HDMI cable...not cheap but still all worth it as I could not have gotten this much of a computer for anywhere near that price new.

I was a little leery about purchasing a pre-owned desktop. It has been a great computer so far. It was easy to set up. I have had no issues what so ever. It had all the features I needed but at a reasonable price.

We had to purchase this as an extra computer for our science lab. We were a little skeptical because it was pre-owned but it's working great and is super fast. I would definitely recommend. Great computer and specs at a fantastic price!

The computer is working great so far. I had not used Windows 10 before, always Windows 7. 10 does as 7 only more buzzers and whistles, which I have yet to explore. I would appreciate some documentation for the hardware. Can you supply me with this?

I purchased this unit for my WAH job, and I admit—I was a little nervous buying refurbed. But the price was right and the specs were right, and I’m glad I took the chance. This HP has worked like a dream.

My order was delivered in two days. Setup was easy and it runs so quietly I had to check to see if it was on. Wireless and Bluetooth are great. No complaints
