The HP Envy 27 is a fantastic computer with specs more than sufficient for your everyday household. While a bit on the pricey side, the average consumer will be more than happy with the way this computer performs - and looks! PROS STYLE - You cannot beat the looks of this all-in-one. The design is very modern and sleek. The bezel around the monitor is very pretty darn thin and I challenge you to find another that comes close to this. I/O - This machine comes with more than enough USB ports and I especially love the HDMI in and out on this machine. That's a huge plus if you want to connect a laptop or another device to the HP and use the screen for that one device. PERFORMANCE - With the SSD, 16 GB of RAM and the Intel i7 processor, this machine is awesome. It does extremely well in my basic graphic design chores in Adobe Creative Suite. I have not tried any video editing, but I suspect it will be fine for smaller projects. CONS STYLE - While I love how the computer looks, the monitor is prone to shaking because the huge screen is held up by a singular - thin - pole. Small vibrations in the desk by me typing can make it move, but if I try not to focus on it, it's fine. PERFORMANCE - I'm a bit disappointed by the sound of this machine. Many reviews go on and on about the speakers, but I find myself wanting more. I had high expectations and granted they do sound better than many all-in-ones, the sound could benefit from more bass. You can tweak the settings with Bang & Olufsen software on the PC, but it still isn't that super. More than good for the average person, though. In addition, in a quiet room, you know this computer is on. The fan seems to always turn on - when not doing anything on the computer - so it seems like the computer might be getting hot when idle. Using Adobe software, the fan does get louder as it tries to cool down. That's pretty annoying to me. Wish it were a lot quieter. FINAL COMMENTS All things considered, when shopping for a new all-in-one, I am pretty pleased with my purchase. No computer is going to be 100% perfect, especially since I'm super picky, but when you consider the specs and price with the beautiful design of this computer, this is a great buy... a... "best" buy if you will. ;)

The PC and application boot up is very fast because of the solid state drive (SSD). I use the stand hard drive to store my files and then back up to the cloud and external HD. The resolution is incredible and the sound is good. The keyboard is very solid with excellent key response and feel. The i7 processor and 16 GB RAM ensures high performance. I am not a gamer. I use this PC for research, email, documents, and streaming video and music. I love performance and speed and this PC delivers. I would recommend this PC to family and friends.

This is my first non home built computer in 15 years and I am very happy with it. The monitor is huge so you can easily resize the windows so it acts like dual monitor. It has the ssd which i required and large capacity data hard drive. Good graphics card, 16g memory. Runs pretty quiet however at times the fan gets noisy. 4 usb ports in the back, i would like to see at least 2 more on the front. Currently using a usb adapter. Built in web cam that pops up from the top which i like the ability to deactivate it by just popping it down. I am not using it for any hardcore gaming so i cant comment on its performance in that area. This is a great computer and im very pleased with it. Would buy it again and recommend.

I purchased this computer after looking around for some towers and work horse laptops. I am thrilled with my decision. Has great power , amazing screen, and great design. I primarily use this for video and photo editing. Renders video very fast. Perfect for small 4K projects . I also use it for gaming , haven’t tried any except for Overwatch . It runs on Max settings with 60-70 FPS . I turn off the touch screen because I don’t use it. The bang and olufsen speakers sound great with a very neat touch integrated volume control. The price point is perfect . If you are looking for something powerful without the giant boulder of a tower , this would be an excellent purchase.

Sleek design, love the resolution. Pretty easy set up, very intuitive, fast and if I need help Best Buy is ready and willing to come to my aid.
