For the price, this is a pretty solid machine. Very good processor; wish it came with a better graphics card, but overall it is a good computer and I'm happy with it.

I bought this computer last month and it works great I've had zero issues with it. It's a lot faster than my Windows 10 computer and I like Windows 11 a lot better. I would definitely recommend this computer.

Needed to quicky replace a PC that died. This fits the bill and my budget Geek Squad handled the data transfer. So far, so good. Easy-peasy.

received 2 of the open box's. first one was missing the HDMI cable but otherwise running without problems.
2nd one Windows was not activated, no key to activate, so I called Microsoft help to help get it activated, so far both are running as expected.

I love the HP tower it has style and its low profile. The abitlity to upgrade internal components is very important so I worry not about the Graphics aspect of the machine. I bought it at 999.00 plus tax and then it went on sale and best buy credit me the difference on my CC in two days. I was very happy with the 250.00 credit that I bought a new monitor.

This is a decently fast computer that will be able to do all basic tasks. It is no gaming computer, but if you need a family computer it's perfect.

Overall a good desktop that performs very well for everyday tasks. Easy to access and modify with RAM, card and drive upgrades. The interior space is limited but smaller expansion cards work fine. The system fan is a little loud, as in you can notice it turning easily if you have this sitting on your desktop. No jet engine noise, but louder than I would expect. Not sure whether it's the design of the fan or I just got a noisy one, but certainly not worth returning it. The only real complaint about this desktop is that you need to make sure you don't cut your fingernails too short or else you'll have a hard time with the power button. It's a very narrow slot with the button within. Why design a power button like a reset button? Nobody knows.

I got this at the end of December 2024. I bought a 4TB HDD also at Best Buy and had the Geek squad install it, as well as transfer over the files from the 2 disks from my old computer-which was done in around 3 days.
Overall I really like the computer...it is much, MUCH faster (and lighter) than my 8+ year old HP tower, even though I had 24GB of RAM in the old PC, vs. 16 GB that came installed with this new PC.
I had fully planned to upgrade the RAM to the maximum 32GB. Opening the case is as simple as removing a single screw, and no additional hardware needs to be removed to add the additional RAM. Just running the Win11 OS and a few background programs seems to gobble up almost 8GB.
I also plan on adding a GPU card, although this is probably surplus to my requirements. This requires however that I replace the existing power supply (which is 'only 310W) with a 550W one. The inability of the current power supply to handle a high-spec GPU may be a deal breaker for those who do require a power-hungry GPU.
My only real complaint about this machine is the supplied keyboard and mouse....the keyboard is very compact and around the size of of what you would expect on a laptop. For someone used to using a full size keyboard, this really slowed me down as my fingers very often hit the wrong keys. The mouse also felt cheap and lightweight, although it worked find.
I replaced the keyboard/mouse with a wireless set from Logitech for under $50. This I think was the only 'must-do' upgrade for the machine, as the extra RAM and GPU card-to-be will barely make any perceived difference in how I use the PC.
And this is why I am docking a single star from this review....the too-small keyboard.

"This desktop is a powerhouse for everyday tasks and light gaming, with a fast processor and ample RAM. The sleek design is a plus, but the included graphics card could be better for high-end gaming."

On sale for 750. Needs an upgrade on the ram. I got 32g x 2. It comes with single 16g. Even with that it didnt crash or freeze. The i7 20 core only peaked at 11% with ram at 60%. Great deal with wireless keyboard and mouse.
