    Easy set-up. Only issue is the power button is on top of the tower. Took a few minutes to locate. Well labeled outlets for connections to keyboard, monitor, and other peripherals.

    When I had my old computer, I was working with Windows XP. I was apprehensive about using the new Windows 10 system, but once I got it all connected and up and running it was much easier than I first expected and now I just love it.

    When my hard drive got corrupted, I had no choice but to replace my computer. I researched and found this HP on sale and it had the options I was looking for. However, after a week of fighting with it to keep the network connection, I called Tech support. They said this model has had a history of defective motherboards! I had to undo it all, pack it up, bring it back and get another new one. They had one left. I brought it home, reconnected and it is working ok. It's a little slow and I had to learn Windows 10 but it's fine for checking email and Facebook. I would not want to depend on it for any professional work or business.

    Our computer crashed after 13 years so we wanted something simple to replace it. This has been a great choice. We are not very tech savy, but it was easy to set up & has lots of extra options we were not even looking for.

    If you need a computer for basic usage, this is a great buy at a good price. The only downside as to be expected is that there will be new games you won't be able to run on it. Anyone who knows anything about gaming already knows this. I'd give it a 5/5 for casual use and 4/5 for gaming.
