    Great Value for Everyday Use!

    I'm really impressed with the HP Desktop Intel Core i3. For an everyday home or office computer, it's a fantastic choice that offers solid performance without breaking the bank. Setting it up was a breeze, and it handles all my daily tasks like Browse, email, word processing, and video streaming with ease. The Intel Core i3 processor is surprisingly zippy for its class, making multitasking smooth and responsive. It's not a gaming powerhouse, but that's not what it's designed for, and for everything else, it truly excels. If you're looking for a reliable, efficient, and affordable desktop for general use, I highly recommend the HP Desktop Intel Core i3. It's a great value for the price!

    Awesome computer tower. Preloaded with many apps. Easy menu to understand. Set up a breeze. Paired with a Samsung 55”tv for extreme gaming and movie watching. Classy diamond shape front panel and front access for headphone’s.

    Bought a refurbished model of another computer and it didn't work. I let Best Buy know that I needed the computer the next day, so I ordered it! It was on my doorstep by the end of the next day and saved a college assignment that was due that evening and wasn't compatible with my Mac. It's fast and easy to use! A great deal for a great computer!

    this computer is great for anyone who is looking to have a simple set up for everyday use. I bought this computer to play my game (the sims 4), and surprisingly it holds up pretty well for the most part. However, if you are looking to record or stream, you may have complications.

    The perfect size for our needs. Tried an all-in-one unit. Found a separate tower and screen is much better. Having a hard wired mouse and keyboard is better for us than wireless.

    A Very Good Budget Buy

    I selected this tower bundle for a family friend when his 8 year old Dell PC motherboard died from thunderstorm damage. This system frequently goes on sale with a $100 discount! The Intel Core i3 CPU, 256GB NVMe SSD, and 8GB DDR4 RAM make for a speedy system for AVERAGE Internet, Email, and Office tasks. It is NOT a gaming system and upgrades will be limited by the power supply as is typical for budget systems. If you need a real DVD/CD drive it is FAR easier to purchase an external USB version than to add internally since the faceplate includes just a fake DVD cover. Keyboard and mouse are included, so you only need a display with speakers. HP exceeded some expectations by including extra SATA and power cables attached to the motherboard for future storage upgrades. The included Windows 11 Home helps since Windows 10 security updates will cease in October 2025. I find this a good starter system compared to others similarly priced.

    Defective ON/Off button. Geek Squad is Fantastic!

    This unit is very compact with minimum storage 256 GB. UPGRADED TO 1tb by Geek Squad. Due to inadequate design the power button is broken after < 2 months usage. Only way to power the unit on is by using a toothpick, ball point pen or some other object. The unit is still under warranty and Hp will repair after sending me pre- paid packaging to ship back to them. Will be inconvenienced for two weeks as they repair/replace the power button. I swear by the Geek Squad Protection plan as per the upgrades labor was ZERO, the data transfer was ZERO! The Geek Squad Techs are Number One, as they are Competent, Knowledgeable, and Very Personable! So far, I have saved Big Bucks as the Protection Plan has 2-3 times over the amount that I initially paid for the contract! I will definitely continue to update/renew the Contract yearly!!!!

    i recently needed to my old hp tower. it was old and was running windows 10. it was for my personal use . light web browsing and would print out my wife's work schedule and work related invoices. i don't game so i didn't need anything super fancy . i found hp intel core i3 on the best buy web site. it was exactly what i needed for my use and it was a great price. i had it delivered to my home and it was so to set up. the start up and speed are a welcome relief from my old unit. plus i am on windows 11 now as well. in closing i will if you need something simple to replace an old unit then i recommend this hp product.

    This was a gift for my meemaw and she was in need of a new computer. This was an easy switch: logged in and got her up and running on her dual monitors quickly. Out of fear for the storage we set her up with a server on a small external hardrive. She loves her new setup and this should last a while!

    Im used to using high powered gaming computers, but recently mine died, and I had to get something quick and cheap to perform office type tasks on. I bought this and took it home, figuring I would not be impressed by it. I was wrong! Its a super fast computer, and compact enough I could put it on top of my little table. I highly recommend it for anyone who just needs a little work horse, and internet surfing desktop. You will not be disappointed

    Very nice, entry level computer. It's fast, easy to set up, glitch free so far. Not loaded with junk ware. It has been a good deal for the price. It easily handles broadband videos. Would buy again.
