Now a retired college administrator, I just have basic needs of Internet, email (Chrome), Word, Excel, newsletters and maybe an occasional PowerPoint. I replaced a 13-year-old Lenovo as it was slowing down, hard-drive was dying, my Office software was no longer supported, etc. Was waiting for this HP to go on sale again. New computer is wonderful! And fast! Windows 11 - will just take time to adapt to. Bought Microsoft 365 - was a good deal to try out for a year - so far, both Word and Excel improvements and sharper "look" are nice. Boot-up speed is very fast. I read some complaints about new keyboard and mouse...I think they're great - and solid, especially keyboard. I've used Trend Micro Maximum Security for 15 years in its different versions. It's the only protection that has never failed me. Overall, after a month of use (and a lot of research), this may be the best computer I've ever bought and I've had Dell (home and work), Gateway, Lenovo, including an all-in-one Ideacenter (knocked it over and broke screen). I added an inexpensive optical reader to load music CDs and add them to portable devices. I'm very happy with my purchase. Geek Squad transferred old files to new computer. Everything works great!

I’m taken aback that the performance is much better than I expected. I paired it with a 24” monitor and have enjoyed the blazing speed of each application. Will soon purchase the same computer for our personal use.

I love my new desktop. It’s very fast & responsive. I have struggled for years with an old slow lap top. It boots up in seconds & Zoom calls are a pleasure. I paired it with a new 27 “ monitor too. I’m looking forward to many years of use.

For speed, memory capacity, ease of setup, and design 5 stars. A strong computer for the price. Be aware if you use dual monitors - the standard graphics card supports HDMI but the second output is only VGA. Strange, for me an unnecessary complication. I matched the VGA output to my oldest monitor, 27", and it looks fine. A card upgrade was expensive, and I don't think should have been necessary.
I've not tested user support.
Experienced user, mainly office apps, databases, and associated sites.

My computer needed to be replaced for quite some time, but transferring files and re-installing software is such a pain in the butt! But, it got to the point where I could barely function on my old PC because it was so slow. After some research, I settled on this model based on price (I bought it on sale) and specs. I'm very happy with it. Setting it up didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would. It's very fast and has had no issues opening and saving the large graphics files I use.

I bought this computer a to replace a 5 year old Lenovo A12 processor budget computer. I am a home computer user who doesn't do intensive gaming and wanted a little higher end component stock computer. I waited until it was on sale at $799 again and got the last one at the store in Savannah, GA. Right out of the box I noticed a dramatic difference in performance from the i7 processor with SSD hard drive. The 16gigs of ram was the most in a computer I've ever bought. The setup was seemless and I was able to import many files from my Onedrive and Google drive without any hiccups. I was also able to install some older programs like Quicken 2009 that I had stored on a Passport external drive. I use PC Matic to protect my system so will let the McAfee expire when it's done. I am very pleased with the operation of the computer for my needs but did make one change. I ordered a crucial 32gig memory kit to upgrade which was very simple to complete. The system recognized it immediately and no issues. The change in speed from my Lenova to this HP Envy is incredible. I can't comment about how it will perform for gaming but the graphis processor is onboard and probably passable at best for hard core gamers. Also for the record, I am not using the included keyboard and mouse. I don't like the chiclet keys on the included keyboard so opted to say with the Logitech set I bought years ago. I do like the design of the HP mouse but will stick with my Logitech there as well. Overall I believe this is a good value for the money.

The computer is GREAT, I don't really like the mouse, the keyboard was bad, the letter p would pop up when I press ed any key to type except the letter p. I got In touch with HP and they ran a diagnostic's on the keyboard. They sent a replacement it took one week. They were easy to deal with & understand. The computer is fast. I used some file clips, clipped to bottom of keyboard to tilt it up my old one had flip down legs. WINDOWS11 taking some getting use to and a lot of personalization in settings, I'M HAPPY!!! Easy setup. LOOKS NICE(not white)
