I got it on sale for $555 out the door. It had a little too much crapware from HP, so I installed a fresh copy of windows and updated with the latest drivers from HP and Intel. Bios also had a very recent update which I installed. This is not a power house PC, but it runs very well for the average user. The 128GB solid state drive could have been a little larger for today's needs for larger applications running along side the OS, but since this wasn't for me and was for a very light user, it was a great option. The additional 1TB hard drive was a great way to make sure backups were happening frequently rather than not at all. 12GB of memory may not be running in dual channel, but it's a good amount for a light user and will not need upgrading anytime soon. Can't complain about the speed and efficiency of the i5 8400 six core processor it came with either. Powering on from power off state took me to the logged in desktop, ready to go, in 30 seconds. The built in graphics are weak, and the power supply is even weaker. If you decide to upgrade the power supply, be aware it's not a full ATX size, so it's a little inconvenient if you plan to put in a larger graphics card that needs more juice. That's the only reason for a 4 star rating over a 5. I'm rating this on what I got for the price I paid. I'd recommend this PC to light or average users if it's on sale. Currently it's sitting at $719 on bestbuy.com, which is more than I'd be willing to spend.

Let me lead off by saying I love the computer. I'm not a gamer, I just needed a computer for general purposes; email, web browsing, streaming and some word processing. This PC has more than enough horsepower for my needs. It's fast and responsive, with the SSD, booting the PC is incredibly fast. I've connected it to my television with an hdmi cable and the graphics are incredible for my purposes. It did take a bit of adjustment to take care of overscan but that was the television and not the computer and the adjustment was applied only to that specific hdmi port. I am using the wifi to connect to my network and the wifi is awesome. Although the gateway and pc are on different floors, the computer is able to connect easily to the gateway and takes full advantage of the dual band ac gateway, the speeds are incredible and the connection rock solid. Now the keyboard. The keyboard is a very odd size, extremely narrow and with the keys a nonstandard size. I just couldn't use it for typing without constant errors and miskeys. I had a Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse with my old computer and I switched out the HP keyboard for the Logitech one. Frankly, the poor HP keyboard is the only reason I downgraded what would otherwise been a 5 star review.

OHHH, and because I already hear you all out there going... get a new Power supply. You cant, its a HP Proprietary unit that they do not make anything more powerful of. I know 4 days 30 People and a hug pain in my ...... talking to hp has let me know. Ok, So The thing is a ok streaming computer and I use OK lossly. first off the thing is way under Powered for what they put in it to start. After Running bench mark Test on it for over a mounth and using it. I have found that if you hook up more than 3 Externals to it with out a powered USB HUB. the computer has issues starting up. the video card will not run at full power because the Power supply is way to small 180w lets you run the computer but nothing else. Even though the thing Has places for more stuff inside. You cant even get a sata hard drive to load. Let alone use the PCI 16x slot for a video card. Bench mark test so that this computer while running World of warcraft on graphic settings 4 uses all available power and you can still only get 15 to 20 fps. will not even load pubg at low setting with out glitching most of the time and that was with it right out of the box. nothing but pubg installed. This computer Only has one saving grace. The Processor is socket. so I can just use it to move to a new mother Board. where i will just need to buy a new case and Mother board, On top of the 700 plus for the computer, 250 plus for video card, and 160 for the ram chips I got already. But hay, the add and sales people all said this was upgrade able and a great intro gaming rig. LOL :(((((( Over all if you need this to do anything big time, Gmaing, editing, recording. This is not your computer.

my last computer was a dell and it lasted me 10 yrs before slowing down on me. It was hard to shop for a new one. but after much research I finally decided on this hp. I spend a lot of time on the internet, working, playing, researching, and communicating. this computer keeps up with all of my needs as far as speed and storage are concerned. I store a lot of photos and documents and so far it hasn't slowed down or shown any problems with space. it boots up super fast and is not bogged down with software. I often have 10-12 tabs open at a time switching back and forth between them all and I really feel like I blink slower than it takes to switch between them. it is quiet. and the wireless accessories are awesome.I hate wires &this thing has virtually none. I would buy this all over again and I have already suggested it to a couple of friends.

I was not planning on buying a new computer until the hard drive died on my windows 8.1 machine. I did not want 10 since half of my programs would not run on it. And they don't. But I had no choice. Went with HP again as I have always gotten long usage out of HPs. It set up easily and I do like the pin rather than a typed password. It found my printer right away. But of course some things won't run and I did replace one but the other is not made anymore so that is history Oddly one very very old piece of software runs on it using XP SP3 compatibility. I was amazed and very happy! It has a different monitor plug than my other HP did. We had a cable here that worked so that solved that issue. All in all, it's a good computer. Very quiet, fast and does most of what I need it to do. I would recommend it.

Never bought an open box item from Best Buy before. Was having big time issues with my old PC, and driving the Geek Squad nuts with frequent visits and calls for problems that were popping up. Was told I might consider upgrading because of the age of my old dell. They Recommended a new HP and said I should check it out in the store. It was on sale but still a little more than I wanted to pay. Wen home checked on line, found on that was open box and certified for much less than the sale price. I ordered it, it came in the original box. Took it to the store and let the Geek Squad transfer everything. They did a super job, not loosing any files or pictures. Got it home, and can't believe how much faster it is than my old one. And the Solid State is so quiet, now whir like the old Hard Drive.

Best purchase I've made this year so far. I am not an expert in computer at all. When I want to buy a desktop I gotta do lots of research to have a generally idea of what is what =]] So for those that are amateur like me, this HP desktop has a SSD that simply makes things you do faster, I am able to turn the computer on in less than 30 seconds as well as turn it off in about 10 seconds. My computer at work took literally 4-5 minutes to turn on so this is super impressive to me. The wireless keyboard and wireless mouse are also a plus to this purchase. Although I did not know how to put battery in the mouse, I finally saw the instruction printed inside the box. Another plus is that it is light weight. Although the size is not too small, I can definitely tolerate that.

This replaced a older Core i3 that was a dog when it came to video editing. I wiped the machine of all unnecessary bloat ware and loaded up my Adobe suite and this thing blazes through rendering 4K video. No lag and perfect, smooth 4K playback. I load the files to be edited to the 128GB SDD then render/save to the 1TB HDD. I will be adding a separate video card (Radeon RX 550) to free up some RAM usage. The only issue I had was the keyboard/mouse lagged but this was due to the minimal range to the USB receiver. I had a USB extension cable and moved the receiver closer to the keyboard/mouse and the lag went away. Additionally the supplied keyboard is very small and hard to use. I will be replacing this with another wireless set.
