Many appreciate its sufficient memory and storage capacity, along with the pre-installed Windows 10 operating system. The compact size and lightweight design are also frequently praised.

    My first purchase was a night mare a Lenevo this worked much better Better yet was the super service manager who was so helpful The first time I brought it back the other manager was unrelenting and I spent literally hours with the geek squad and still couldn't get it to work. This second manager was so understanding She restored my belief in Best Buy!

    Good price but not your typical computer

    It's a pretty good deal as long as you know and understand that you don't get your pretty standard basics as far as software goes. You have to go to the app store on the computer to get most things that you used to just be able to scroll, click and go. The computer is a bit confusing as it has windows 10, but it's a learning curve I'm sure.

    I always buy my computer products at Best Buy. I trust them and their products. All of their staff are friendly and helpful. They answer any questions I have. I usually buy HP products.

    So far so good with this one. It gets the job done and is very fast. The only complaint I have is with the keyboard. It sometimes sticks or something and can't keep up with my typing using certain fonts.

    It works as well as my former one did in the beginning and at a lower cost. The Geek folks had to transfer the old data to the new computer and that was as described. My Outlook program for mail has popups that are a nuisance, however, and I have been unable to correct this. I like the Windows 10 program.

    Nice cuz it's an AMD with a TB hard drive. Down side is it's another HP. For the price, gets you back to basics if you're rebuilding your computer components. A little limited on USB ports. Comes with a short-term Mcafee AV but doesnt like older HP printer so will need to upgrade that soon.

    This was bought to have a backup unit and something to use when our other computer was occupied. Also for photo files and sharing. to this point it has been fine and served it's purpose. No complaints,was easy to set up and get running. So far,so good.
