Purchased for in-laws so they would have a computer that wouldn't have to be replaced as often as earlier PCs they owned. The 12GB RAM was a huge selling point. It is expandable to 16GB which should be great for them long-term. DVD/CD ROM works great along with the Win10 64-bit platform. Keyboard/mouse sync up with no issues. The biggest issue with this particular all-in-1 is the location of 1 2.0 USB port, 1 3.0 USB port, headphones jack, and multi-card reader.....these things are all located on the BOTTOM of the monitor area in the center. For older people, this poses a small problem as you have to feel underneath in order to insert the designated item. Putting in an SD card based on "feel" isn't difficult, but using the USB drives is a little more difficult, not knowing which way the drive needs to face. The headphones jack shouldn't be an issue if it's not used. On the back are 3 more USB ports (1 3.0 and 2 2.0's), ethernet jack, HDMI out, and power. Setup is very simple. Keyboard is NOT lit up which is not great for older people, but I have no issue with it being able to type. Of course, lit up keyboards mean shorter battery life (AAA's in the keyboard). The "look" of the computer is really nice. The 27" screen is awesome and vibrant. Vents are on the top and bottom of the PC. The stand is very sturdy. The PC is pretty heavy and can be moved by holding the stand arms in the back or by lifting underneath the bottom of the screen. Speakers are what you would expect for built-ins. Get a small sound system if you need something more powerful and with bass. Basically, this all-in-1 had most everything you would need in a PC. It didn't have SSD memory, but pretty much had everything else. There were no issues with installing virus protection nor updating current apps and updates. I highly recommend. The picture if have attached does not do justice to how good it really looks. Some of the plastic was still on the base when I took the pic.

OK 3 years ago I bought a $2200 Dexll AIO XPS 27. Had nothing but problems with it. Finally the hard drive crashed and rather than spend $200 to fix it I took it out back and beat it to death with a sledgehammer. Now the good news, this HP Pavilion is basically the same spec computer but after a month I have had zero problems with it and it cost have the amount of the XPS. So the screen is not as high a resolution but this is certainly adequate for what I do, it is fast, quiet and RELIABLE! There is a problem with distortion in the B&O audio which I am tracking down and the USB ports on the BOTTOM of the monitor are practically unreachable (so I bought another hub) but these are small quibbles for what you get, a nice attractive, fast, great price and RELIABLE. You won't regret it. I have own many HP's which have been trouble free and cannot say the same about Dexll.

Do plenty of video editing and this computer's i7 quad 4 processor and 12 Gigs of RAM handle the job perfectly. Also chose this computer because the other ones had smaller screens, less RAM and only dual core processors. The 1T of hard drive space is more than ample to upload my videos directly to the computer to edit. The 27" 1080p screen is beautiful and makes it easier to see what I am doing than if I had a smaller screen. No wire clutter, no tower to worry about. DVD drive reads multiple disc formats and burns also. Just purchased last week but have already used it plenty and know it is a very good purchase.

Both my desktop and laptop went out a week before Christmas so i went to best buy and bought a new desktop and laptop and they are really great after you get use to windows 10 and all the apps.

Never had any problems with HP. Always a better buy. Like my desktop very much. Only a minor problem with the light indicator for capital letters.
