Boots up in less than one minute. Runs so super-quiet so you hardly realize it's running at all. I use it for music production and it runs ram-hungry programs with ease .
Also Best buy service was excellent. I ordered online and received this and a monitor in two days with no shipping charge. What's more, a week later it went on sale for $150 off and after five minutes on the phone with them, they matches the sale price and refunded me $150.
Only complaint is I had to uninstall a dozen useless programs.

It seems to be handling everything I am throwing at it right now. I like the CD drive on the front and the number of USB ports. It also has a SD card slot which I have used already. It is lightweight and compact and does not take up a lot of space. So far, so good. I am still learning to use Windows 10, but hopefully will get the hang of it soon.

I bought this to replace an aging computer. I liked this model because it has a solid state hard drive and lots of memory. I have not been disappointed. I would prefer the power on switch to be slightly bigger. The start up time is 6 seconds.

With support for Windows 7 coming to a end in January it was either to try to install Windows 10 on my 9 year old early version of a Intel i5 or buy a new PC. I opted for a new PC and glad I did.
This PC runs super quiet and starts up and shuts down in seconds with the solid state hard drive. It has all the speed I need and has plenty of ports to plug in everything I need. Catching it on sale for $150 off sealed the deal at $550.

Picked this up on sale for $599 to replace my 10yr old Gateway that choked when I tried to install Windows 10 on it. Screaming good deal, boots up in seconds and handles large media files well. Runs quiet and the large SSD drive is a bonus too. Definitely pick it up on sale if you can (and need a new PC).

I have always had an HP desktop computer and when my last one finally went to computer heaven we went shopping for a new HP. This one is much smaller in size but loaded with new features!! I love the speed and I'm getting use to the new set up. I'm 72 so it takes me a little longer than you younger folks!! I trust the HP brand and I'm sure I will enjoy this one as much as I have the others, I would recommend this to anyone!!

My old desktop was 8 1/2 years old. I was having issues with the monitor (an old Haans-G) not displaying an image until at least 15 minutes after booting the computer. When I talked with Geek Squad personnel, they opined that the motherboard of the computer was probably going bad. So I replaced my old computer (HP Pavilion) with this unit. As it turned out, the motherboard was NOT the problem, but the monitor itself.
That said, I am still glad that I replaced the old computer. The new unit has a lightning fast response. I am sure it will give me many years of great performance.

It was easy to get started with this computer. I had to return the first one because of and issue with the DVD drive but other than that this one is fine (if you don't mind that it's larger than I had hoped). That really didn't matter to me. It is silent and stays cool even after using it about 16 hours a day. It's fast and, thus far, I've had no issues with it.

Bought this for our corporate office. Smaller than the old one, which is great. Tons of speed, memory and functionality. Perfect choice for business or personal, but definitely more than powerful enough for a large office. Will purchase again.

Sleek computer, has plenty of ports, and runs well. Bought this for remote working (was using a laptop prior to this that didn't have enough RAM or memory) and it's made life so much better. Starts up fast and fits my needs. Happy with my purchase so far!

This computer screams. Very fast. Handles multiple browser windows at the same time. Streams HD video with ease. Did I mention really fast? The SSD really makes a HUGE difference. Quiet, cool running . Perfect for my needs.

So far I love it. I like the SSD because it boots up was quicker than the older versions. The speed and ease of use is good. I think it is overpriced for a desktop. Buy it Thanksgiving weekend... lol.

It works great and it is very quiet.It doesn't take up a lot of space and I love the fact all of my adapters plug into the front of the unit and not the back for easier access.

This computer is going to be used mainly for office use but is capable of a lot more. With a fast processor and plenty of memory, not to mention plenty of hard drive space on a solid state drive, this thing is ready for a decent video card to get gaming.

Compact but with plenty of expandability.
The 2 video ports and additional included memory as well as the ability to expand the memory over the laptop I was using for my Work from Home machine were just what I needed.
The price was much more reasonable than a laptop with similar capability.
I wish it had Windows 10 Pro installed instead of Home or it was at least an option at purchase. However, after the initial set up and making sure that it had all of the updates, the upgrade to Pro was painless.

My old Dell tower was still going strong after 10+ years, but it was time for something new. I chose this model over a comparable but slightly cheaper new Dell based on the larger SSD size (512GB vs 256GB) and the Best Buy Consultant's recommendation. I like that it came with a wireless Keyboard and Mouse. So far it is great! It has 6 cores instead of my older 2 core machine and the difference in responsiveness is very pronounced. It boots up in about 10 seconds. Loving it so far!
