This mini tower PC is packed with great CPU, enough memory and 2TB of hard drive. Great for daily use, runs windows smoothly. Definitely need a dedicated graphic card for intensive gaming.

I noticed this particular computer immediately in an email ad from Best Buy black Friday ad. I had been suggesting to a friend for the last 6 months that she needed an I-7 HP Pavilion to process all of her photos and movies so I sent her an email to alert her to this particular machine. I then bought one for myself. It is not a gamers machine as it would need a good video card as a minimum and only 1 available slot that I can see but it has a 2 TB hard drive and 12 GB of memory. The cpu is an I7-6700T which has a slower clock speed than some other I7's but it runs cooler and should last longer, and it already has a fan directly attached to the cpu cooling framework. The fan is barely running so this computer is decently quiet. This computer cpu has a Passmark score of about 9000 which is just below the speed of other I7 cpu's that are clocked at up to 3.4mhz but run hotter and they get Passmark speeds of 11,000. Heat is not the friend of electric parts by the way. There are 4 USB ports which I take to be 2.0 and 2 other USB ports that are marked SS which I understand to be 3.0 USB ports and are much faster which is better for data transfer if you have a 3.0 USB piece of equipment to get data to and/or from. I have seen a noticeable increase in speed of internet data that I browse to be sub 1 second response in many cases. I do know that I have about 95mbps internet connection so this computer/cpu is definitely up to the task. I will not need to upgrade for a decade as this machine is blazingly fast at this time and won't be surpassed by many other computers for a long long time. By the way my friend also bought the same computer on my recommendation.

Customers are delighted by the Pavilion Desktop's performance and its affordable price. Many appreciate the ample RAM, memory, and hard drive storage, finding it easy to set up and use. However, some users noted the fan noise and limited USB ports as potential drawbacks.
