    I've had good experiences with Hp products in the past. This desktop should meet my family's needs. No experience with windows 10, but I'm sure my son will help me out...

    I purchased around the middle of May 2016. Since that time I have made 4 calls to HP because the screen keeps turning black when I'm using the computer. Also what is written on the screen changes sizes and resizes the picture on the screen. After 4 calls HP has sent me disk to reset the operating system. The computer is currently updating as I'm writing this. Will see soon if everything works properly.

    The HP - 251-a244 Desktop has adequate resources for the price. If you are looking for something to run office apps and research online, then this desktop will suffice.

    The system performs well but appears to be a little slower than anticipated. For the utilization, I would purchase again but not for pressing day to day operations.

    When my 8 year old computer, running Windows XP became useless, I was looking for a good value. After shopping several stores, I found this one on sale at BestBuy. I'm not a gamer, and this unit offered everything I needed, and nothing I didnt.
