HP - Refurbished Compaq Desktop - Intel Pentium - 4GB Memory - 500GB HDD - Black

Good bang for the buck! My Dad wanted Windows 10, and this was the best way to get it? I liked his so much I bought myself one too for my office! It does not have HDMI, but rather Display Port? Which there is a $9 adapter to switch to HDMI with. A year in both are still working. Although my Dad’s is hard to start…

I was impressed with the speed of the processor. I noticed a clear difference while using the internet that I haven't seen in any previous desktop I'd owned. However, I didn't realize when I selected it that the DVD/CD=ROM drive was "Read-only" and could not burn discs. That's the reason I returned it. I'm not thinking that I should've let that go and just relied on the external ("Buffalo") drive that I have.

Purchased this for my elderly mom to use for email. First shipment arrived badly dented. Replacement arrived with incompatible cord. When set up, got a Windows error message that the installed copy of Windows 10 Pro is an unlicensed one - so it will obviously not be supported by Windows. The Geek Squad tech's advice? Buy a new copy of Windows 10 & install it myself. So much for the bargain computer. This one is going to be returned, too - and I'm very disappointed in Best Buy for selling refurbished computers without legitimate a OS, and not making it right.

I have to hold back on the 5, haven't had it very long and it takes a lot of above and beyond for 5. We use it with a wifi adapter (netgear) and haven't had any issues. The way Windows 10 had to be installed was a bit odd and would have been nice to be forewarned about but we figured it out. It came with a keyboard and mouse which was a bonus since it didn't originally mention it would, which is unheard of. We actually purchased 4 for kids home schooling and they seem to work just fine. Ideally would have had wifi included but luckily an easy fix.

After hook up and running some, the hard drive started making the rasping, scraping noise that signals damage. Rather than return the unit, I purchased a new drive upgrade and installed. Since that, no further problems to date. The fans seem a bit weak, something I may need to check out.

Runs loud and boots up VERY SLOW. Initially came without a DVD-RW drive which I recognized and contacted the company who sent me the correct drive quickly so that was nice but when I contacted them about the conputer booting slow, was told to update the software (which is already updated) or increase the RAM. I only pay bills on this machine and sometimes it boots up with just a black screen forcing me to restart it before it works properly. When booting up "properly," it takes between 10 and 15 minutes before I can use any apps such as Word or Microsoft Edge to browse the internet (or pay my bills.) It's virtually useless for the first 10-15 minutes. After I'm able to get apps up and running, it does operate as described, it just takes A LONG time to get there. Unfortunately, I realized this problem wasn't going to go away after the return window had already closed...

Exactly what I was looking for. Needed to upgrade to Windows 10, already had subscriptions to O365, Antivirus etc. So I didnt need preloaded software on a new computer. So far its working fine. One thing that annoyed me. I had trouble downloading O365 from Microsoft using the Edge browser that came with the preloaded Windows 10 operating system. I installed Google Chrome and was able to download my O365 that way.

This is a fairly good computer. We just needed a desk top computer so I could print from it. Kinda weird, have to press the power button several times before it finally comes on. Works for what we need it for, since most of our computing is done on the apple iPad or the chrome book
