While some users mention limitations with the power supply and Windows operating system, the positive feedback on other features outweighs these concerns.
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!”

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'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.
