    Excellent budget desktop

    I bought one of these for my father and one for a customer looking to have a new desktop bought and set up. In both cases the recipients are very happy with them. As with any new machine, you either need to uninstall nearly everything or do a clean Windows install before using, but this is great budget performance at a reasonably good price. The vast majority of normal computer users don't need more than what this machine offers up, plus it's small and light. The usual small-form-factor caveats apply, of course: you can't upgrade several things (notably the CPU) and you're not adding any PCIe cards, extra hard drives, or easily upgrading the optical drive. It's basically a laptop core in a desktop case. Hard drive and RAM can still be upgraded later if needed. You won't be doing much video editing, but for office programs and internet and basic image editing work it's a gem. If you are OK with those limitations, this is a great machine.

    I purchashed this HP to replace a nearly 9 year old computer my wife was using. She complained that her computer was old and slow. (I didn't tell her she was also) So far it is doing it's job of keeping harmony in the family. It isn't the top of the line but for Facebook, email and card games it does great.

    I have been impressed with this HP computer. As the name implies, it is slim. It also is very lightweight. It boots up quickly and I have had no problems at all. I would definitely buy it again.

    The most irritating thing is that the USB ports in front of the tower do not recognize my phone, so to transfer files, I have to either hook up the bluetooth, or plug into the back usb ports. Frustrating. Overall the computer was a good value and suits my needs. It was easy to set up a two screen system, but sometimes the computer will be slow to respond if I change programs suddenly. Keeping a lot of windows and programs open is definitely a strain on the device.

    AMD Desktop Computer is good buy

    I like the AMD desktop computer I purchased two months ago at Best Buy. It is real quiet since it doesn’t have the typical power supply with a fan noise. Also, this computer is contained in a very small box so takes up nowhere near the space my old computer did. However, this AMD is many times faster and larger storage capacity. This is a good buy!

    I purchased this Desktop to work from home and I’m glad I made this purchase! It runs fast and is also wireless so I don’t even need an Ethernet cord! I was able to connect to the internet using my hotspot and was able to access the internet. This is a sleek design, very light weight and easy to use. Great Product :)

    Don't expect this to be a speed demon of a computer with only 4gig of older ram and a standard hard drive. But for the price of this computer, it is surprisingly useful.

    I bought this computer over a month ago and am loving it. It was easy to set up and works fast. I use to think my other computer was slow because of the service I have but it was the computer. When it broke down years later then I went to Best Buy because I have credit there and bought this computer for $300. It works so fast and I will definetly get another one.

    Wonderful little PC. It's a smaller unit, but seems to work flawlessly. Windows 10, has everything you would ever need. For the money it's the best one out there on the market. If you're looking for a low-cost good computer, this is The one.
