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

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.

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!

The fact that my new computer crashed after 3 months was bad enough and to have to setting for a used upgrade was not completely to my liking. But, it is working fine now (knock on wood). However the service was totally frustrating with the inability to enter the store I had to wait a long time to be helped. Carrying messages to the Geek Squad between employees who just were not well informed was doubly frustrating.

The machine meets and exceeds our demands operating silently. 10 does get some getting used to. Exercised all options offered including McAfee, declined to rent MS Office and components, replaced with Apache freeware. Reset Motorola modem, 10 sec off, got onto the web using the included browser. All peripherals recognized, did retain the keypad and mouse from the retired Pavilion. Salvaged all family pics from flash drives and docs sent to ourselves attached to emails. 6/20

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.

My old HP desktop was ten years old and gotten very very slow. I decided it was time to upgrade. Its only been about 25 days since I installed my new computer. So far I am very happy with my new HP desktop. I am also very pleased with the Geek squad employee who came to my home to help me with a couple of set up issues, and getting a couple of my older programs to work with Windows 10.

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.

It is easy for me to use. As a 76 year old female, I wanted a product that is accommodating to my style of usage for my monitor as well as my knowledge of the internet. Still getting use to it but at the same time loving it.
