HP - Pavilion Desktop - Intel Core i3 - 8GB Memory - 256GB Solid State Drive - Natural Silver

We bought this for Coronavirus homeschooling. All three of my kids use it in addition to a laptop we previously owned. Super easy setup and better graphics than I expected but I’m not a serious gamer. It’s fast compared to what we had. I like it. My minor complaints: It comes with McAfee which I dumped, and the Microsoft Team thing that loads a bit slow on startup. Almost 5 stars!

I have no regrets purchasing this this PC. It’s works great and has power to back it up. Plus the price was right. I do really enjoy using it it my room for an easy access I have this HP connect to my TV and it looks great with excellent response. I recommend this model . “A Great Buy at the Best price!”

I've only had this one for a couple of days, but it makes a strong first impression. Compared to my previous computer (another HP, vintage 2008!) it is: - smaller - lighter - faster - and above all, QUIETER (thanks to the SSD storage vs a hard drive). A few things that could be better, but these are peripheral: - the POWER BUTTON is tiny and recessed. While that makes it harder to press inadvertantly, which is good, the same applies when you WANT to turn it on! You almost need a fingernail or some other slim object to use it. Fat fingered users, beware! - The KEYBOARD AND MOUSE work well, but are lightweight and have a cheap feel to them - I will keep them as spares. At least they are wired - I hate having things that need batteries. - The CD/DVD DRIVE is garbage. -- Like the power button, the on/off switch is tiny and hard to push. You cannot open it by command because Windows 10 doesn't show you the drive if there is no disk on it. -- The drive itself comes out to accept a disk. On my old computer it was just a drawer and the electronics stayed safely inside the computer. You just dropped in a disk and pushed it closed. This one with a vertical mount is harder to use. You have to press the disk onto the hub, which can take a few tries, and while you are doing that (trying not to drop it), the thing flexes and feels like it will break off. Best to use both hands, one on each side pressing against each other. (Dismounting a disk is much easier.) If you are going to watch DVD's or listen to CD's a lot, and have to change disks frequently, this will become annoying. But those complaints are relatively minor. This appears to be a solid little machine with, I hope, a long future ahead of it. I've had just 3 PC's over the last 20 years (including this one), all HP's and never had a single hardware problem. The only reason I replace them (after about 10 years!) is because the ever more bloated bloatware that keeps arriving requires more fire power.

I got this to replace an eight year-old business refurb machine whose PS died. This HP is as fast, if not slightly better, than the old machine and I was able to order it online and pick up curbside in a pandemic. I need the machine to teach my courses online, including making lecture videos. I did by an extra 8GB memory stick, but have had absolutely no problems with the performance of this machine for office and web tasks. It even works for video editing, but rendering of longer videos is slow and maxes out the CPU. As far as positives, it has plenty of USBs for all my peripherals, half of which are USB3.0; it is super quiet; it has all the computing power needed for typical home computer tasks; can accommodate my two monitors without an added video card. The only negatives are if you need a machine to handle resource intensive apps such as gaming or video editing beyond what I do, you might want an i5 or i7. The 8GB is adequate for most tasks, but I tend to leave a lot of stuff open at the same time, so adding more was helpful. On the good side, the 8gb that came stock was on one stick so adding another was simple since there are two slots. Overall, it was a great value as it was available when I was in a pinch and it seems to be a solid performer one month in.

Got this for my wife when she had to move to working remotely during the pandemic. Works great and didn't break the bank.

Purchased as an emergency replacement for an Intel NUC6CAYS that "died" while being used by a seven-year-old granddaughter for in-home learning during the pandemic. The PC was an open-box purchase at the local Best Buy. Added an 8GB RAM stick (16GB total RAM) and a Nvidia GT 1030 to the HP Pavilion Desktop a week after purchase. The 180W Gold power supply limits which graphics cards can be added - only PCI slot powered units will work. The GT 1030 only draws about 30W so there has been no trouble with taxing the power supply. The Hynix M.2 256GB SSD drive is amazingly fast as the PC boots in about 5 seconds. The included HP software makes it easy to keep the PC updated, even the BIOS was easy to update with no trouble. The PC has been used six to seven hours daily for classwork and has had no issues or overheating. This PC was a quick and excellent replacement that is highly recommended for similar usage even without the upgraded RAM and graphics card. During the pandemic when PCs are difficult to find in stock or afford Best Buy came through again for our family. Thanks.

I bought this computer because MS was no longer going to support the OS my Mom had plus her PC was but in 2000! I finally convinced her to get a little up to date w/today’s technology. She’s stuck on HP but at least she has something more current versus 20yrs ago. It handles her wireless options throughout the house (Hulu, Net Flix, Amazon,etc.) and surfs the I-net just great. She might multi task about 5 programs at a time and this computer runs like a champ.

I purchased HP TP01-0014 Intel Pavilion Desktop to replace a Windows 7 computer that was no longer supported by Microsoft. This HP desktop is very quiet, and runs smoothly. I have only owned it for less than 3 weeks. My previous computers were AMD. The first one gave me problems within 7 months. The second one was very noisy, and I could not use the free windows 10 upgrade because of the graphics card. This computer is very efficient. Windows 10 is going to take some getting used to; previous versions of windows were much easier to use.
