HP - Refurbished Compaq Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 16GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Black

My old computer was slowly dying and needed to upgrade. Admit I was a bit hesitant at first to buy a refurbished computer, but decided to take a chance on this one .... fast, huge hard drive. I had no problems getting it up and running, though I did have some problems with Windows 10 restarting (but that's not Best Buy's fault ..... software issue). This HP computer is far faster than anything I've ever owned, and I saved a lot of money on it. Definitely recommend this product.

Unit has performed well enough, I use it strictly for hosting virtual machines... However, the DVD drive went south over a year ago. Well, due to a recent startup problem, related to a series of quick power outages, I needed a functional DVD drive on it. As I went to remove the existing drive... I found a most perplexing sight... On the bottom of the DVD drive, someone had already scrawled the word "BAD"... See the attached image! Seems that the refurbisher's certification process has some definite loopholes!

nice having the computer work faster fun being able to get it for Christmas.

Was a great value in a computer, had everything I needed and wanted at an awesome price

My old desk top with Windows Vista went to pot. I didn't want Windows 10 because my expensive embroidery and crafting programs will not run on 10. I started looking at cheap desk tops (I have two laptops). They were hard to find running Windows 7. I found this refurbished HP and I have always had good luck with HP, so after reading everything I could about the product I purchased it. It looked brand new out of the Box- I had no problem getting up and running. I did have a lot of problems getting windows to update- I persevered and finally got drivers and updates. This is not Best Buy's fault - they offer free Geek squad setup but you need to make an appointment and I live 30 miles from town and didn't want to drag the computer into town. I have very poor internet connection and this Hp is faster than both my laptops. I saved a lot of money and I am thrilled with my purchase.

A really good bargain, for the price, this is a very capable desktop computer, I was afraid because it was a refurbished model, but that ended up not being a problem at all, this worked perfectly.

I have a habit of buying stuff and not opening the box for months. That was the case here, 9 months later the setup was a breeze, the speed and ease of use are good. Has all the features needed for a home use PC.

Just set up last week. Like the speed. Need To get a wi/fi adapter. User friendly so far.
