Customers praise the Pavilion Desktop -AMD Ryzen 5 4600G - 12GB - 512GB SSD for its excellent value and ease of use, noting that setup is straightforward. The solid-state drive (SSD) also receives positive feedback for its storage capacity. However, some users find the power button difficult to locate and use.
A responsive PC. My first venture into solid state drive. Not as quick booting up as I would have thought it would be. Silent when powered up. Lightweight case. I downgraded to 4 stars because the power button and the DVD drive buttons are so tiny they are difficult to find and push. The power button is particularly annoying. The wired keyboard and the wired mouse reach new lows in cheap. I'll use mine on my old machine to transfer files and then I'll throw them out. I suppose for the money I shouldn't expect much more.

Over past 3 years I have owned two Dell desktops ordered directly from Dell. I thought I would get a better operating system from the manufacturer. Not true, they both had to be sent back to Dell for repairs twice within the first 4 months and I spent several hours on the phone with support. I decided to try HP, but asked the Geek Squad for an affordable unit, just in case it turned out to be another 18month disposable computer. I love my HP Pavilion, it is quite, fast and trouble free...so far. I have only had it for 2.5 months, but that is already better than Dell's track record.

I don't have any complaints about this desktop computer - except the Windows 10 software. I wish there was another good option. I prefer Chrome, but Windows 10 tries to trick me into using Edge every chance it gets. The McAfee "free" security slowed down the computer so much that I had to uninstall it before the trial period was over. The computer itself has more than enough SSD storage for me. The SSD responds faster than my old hard drive, but not as fast as I thought it would. There might be some start up settings that I can adjust. I've read complaints about the on/off button being hard to see or push. It is almost flush with the case, but it's better where it is than on top as in the prior configuration (my old Pavillion PC). Several times I laid something on top of my old PC case and inadvertently shut it down in the middle of my work. I only have one complaint but it's not unique to this PC. It also happened on another HP computer that I tried recently. If I leave something up on the screen when the monitor goes to sleep, then return and wake up the monitor, the page is frozen. I have to click out on another tab and then click back in to wake up the page. I spoke with WIndows support and HP and neither had a solution. This doesn't happen with my old Pavillion running WIndows 7 or my Dell PC with Windows 10.
