Pros:
Set-up was very easy.
The computer is very light which made moving it to where I wanted a breeze.
The mouse and keyboard cords that come with the computer are very long. I set the monitor up on a stand at eye level and the keyboard/mouse at arm height.
Once out of s-mode, I was able to install the programs I wanted without trouble.
Power cord is also long. I didn't have to rearrange furniture to reach an outlet.
System as described.
Cons:
Computer automatically loaded in secure mode (or s-mode) which only allows Microsoft approved apps (so no Google Chrome) to be installed.
Speakers are poor quality. I have to have the volume near 50 percent to hear video calls and audio streaming.
Terrible for a shared computer since the system will not let you opt out of signing in to an outlook account during set-up, so all uses have access to your email.
It won't let me create a guest account without an email.
Summary:
Other than the annoyance of open access to my email for other users, this is a great personal computers for my simple needs.

My wife and I were looking to have a desktop available for our work from home with a bigger screen and I had found this computer on a flash sale and I am not disappointed. This computer does everything we need it to and more. It is plenty fast for working virtually and we have no complaints. It is also very stylish and looks great on the desk!

The HP desktop fits my needs as I'm not usig it for gaming or heavy photo or video editing. Windows 11 S sucks, easy enough to change it to Windows 11 home mode. But you still get driven to use Microsoft browsers and other apps.
Lots of junk runnig at the bottom 1/4 of the monitor. You can reduce this but it seems to slowly add it back in again. Like pop ups, it's annoying. The only reason I went 4 stars was because of the inclusion of a wired mouse that seems to be leftover stock from the early 1970 Soviet Russia. Come on HP you couldn't include an inexpensive wireless mouse? Keyboard is also very outdated. You may want to factor purchasing wireless options to replace these antiquated items

For the price, this is a good buy. The mouse is cheap and didn't work. The store wanted me to bring it all in & I said Forget it! It's a check $10 mouse, not worth the hassle. I don't like the keyboard. The volume is hard to find and I will just buy myself another mouse & keyboard. The 21" screen is just perfect even though my lenovo had a 23L".The computer works just fine & the only reason I got a new one is because Windows 10 is now obsolete. I only use Excel and needed the Windows 11. This is still a good buy as I had been pricing them for a few months. I like HP products and will learn to love this one too.

Looks nice, takes up less space, and is comparably priced to just the CPU, which was what I was looking for. The only thing I would have preferred was another color.

I had to replace my PC of 8 years when nothing I did made any part work. The screen went to black. Best Buy was having a sale on this HP, which was the exact size I needed. The price was great and they allowed me to open an account the same day. They transferred all the memory and I picked it up in 2 days! I set it up and saw that everything was there, just like the old one! I love the look, the speed and the capabilities of this!

Best money I ever spent on electronics in a while. This PC is easy to set up and every dime. It was up running and ready to use in 30mins after installation of softwares Its efficient runs smoothly starts quickly and fits perfectly in any space. I would definitely recommend this product if you need it for work school or personal use.

I purchased this desktop as an out of the box so my expectations were a little sketchy . After putting everything together, which is not much and it’s completely easy it is such a nice desktop to own functions great I’ve had it for about a month and I have no complaints. It did come with a mouse that didn’t work and I still do have to tell a story about it. Not sure what they’re gonna do but I had another one so everything was OK. I don’t need anything powerful or trendy or techy so this works for me really well.

Purchased for my daughter for Christmas. She’s been wanting a desktop for her web based games. This computer is compact and absolutely perfect for her needs. No complaints! Has a great amount of storage, quick processing and set up was extremely easy.

We have only had this computer a few days but so far so good. We use it for general Internet browsing, email, word documents, etc. It is compact, attractive and easy to use.
