Probably a Win 11 thing, but, when snoozing or hibernating I can no longer shut off my UPS / surge suppressor after snoozing/hibernating. Same end result as pulling the plug out of the wall on a running computer - everything open/running is closed down. Love that 32GB of RAM, tho! My first! A "Deal of the Day" purchase.

Got this computer to replace an Acer Windows 10 desktop which was having some issues in long start up times. After searching the web and looking at different desktops from gaming to office I settled on the HP Pavilion as a nice compromise between the two. I was wary of the Intel chips problems plus this has all the features I need. I am not a heavy computer gamer I use my X box for that. Still learning on how to use Windows 11 but all in all I am happy so far.

I'm absolutely thrilled with my new HP Pavilion Desktop! This machine is a powerhouse. The AMD Ryzen 7 processor combined with 32GB of RAM and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card makes everything I do incredibly fast and smooth. From everyday tasks to more demanding applications and even some light gaming, this computer handles it all with ease. Boot-up is lightning quick thanks to the 1TB SSD, and I have plenty of space for all my files. The Natural Silver finish looks great on my desk too. If you're looking for a reliable and high-performing desktop, I highly recommend the HP Pavilion with the Ryzen 7 and RTX 3050. It's been a fantastic upgrade!

I am tremendously pleased with this HP Pavilion desktop PC. It has everything I need in a compact package. The AMD Ryzen 7 processor is fast and powerful. It gave me an option to avoid the Intel processors after their disastrous failures of the i9 13th and 14th gen processors. This PC is packed with 32GB of RAM, an INVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU and a 1 TB SSD. Add to that plenty of ports front and back, and it is a must-have if you prefer working with a desktop PC, as I do. It boots up fast, runs quietly and I have found it to have the great reliability I expect from HP. I could not be happier with this great little workhorse with its small form factor. It is half the size of the big beast custom-built Windows 10 PC it replaced. Oh, and it comes with a very nice wireless keyboard and mouse. Nice bonus!

Bought this machine about three weeks ago and am greatly impressed by its speed. Set up was trivial. Minor issues with wireless keyboard and mouse but this may be because other "junk" in the office is partially blocking the signal. Smaller footprint that my previous computer which is great as well.

I am a YouTuber (with virtually no followers LOL) posting my GoPro and DashCam videos and I purchased an excellent commercial video app (named after a famous Renaissance man) and I put the HP and its NVIDIA GPU through it's paces.
I've put together some sophisticated special effects videos w/titles, call outs, transitions, etc. I also am learning color grading and the HP continues to perform very well.
Rendering times are good and the inplace rendering (while editing) isn't too bad either.
If you're a pro videographer or a pro editor, then you probably have enough $$ to get a super juiced up platform.. and probably use a high powered Mac for your work?
That's great if you got that $$.
For a starting YouTuber / videographer / editor and have a limited budget, this HP desktop is EXCELLENT!
Limited # of USB C ports so I had to buy a USB C hub (which is fine).
This is also an HP platform. Not an IBM/Lenovo. I've owned HP computers before and this desktop has the same quirks and irritants as all their products have (not as bad as their printer ink issue but same). They include already installed apps that apparently make the system unstable (IMO) and you get weird unexplained reboots sometimes. Nothing explicit or telling in the Windows logs .. if ANYTHING, there may be an odd illegal instruction error somewhere getting logged and the system, reboots. Usually there are no trackable reasons for the reboot. Doesn't happen very often but it reminds me that I bought an HP.
I am an experienced retired Windows app and systems developer. And I bought and used a very good HP laptop for my s/w contracting work and it was very good but it had it's quirks.
This desktop is a very good value!

I rate all the high-end components as 5. For the shell itself, it gets a 3. The buttons do not reach outside smoothly. It is challenging to get any of the plugs, USB, or HDMIs to plug in smoothly. That's sad. That's why I gave it a 4.

So far I am pleased with this system. It was probably a bit more computer than I needed at this time, but I am not one to change every couple of years. I am hoping it will last me for at least 4 years. I primarily use it for daily tasks like Internet, email, word, and Excel. Occasionally Autocad which was the purpose of the high-end graphics card along with multiple monitors. I do play a few online games but I do not consider myself a gamer by no means.

I bought this simply for gaming and basic computing and overall for the price it could stand up to some of the more pricey gaming PCs. I love it. It is fast and reliable and upgradable. The 32GB of ram it comes with is great as well as the graphics card. I have always had HP but this is by far the best one I've had so far.

It seems to be good hardware, but it comes with Windows 11 (which is in-your-face spyware), and MacAfee (which is a straight up rip off).
I ditched Windows, installed Linix Zorin, and I love it!

My old desktop (approx 10 years old) finally died. I wanted a new one with a second internal bay for another HDD/SSD. This HP Pavilion was the only one I could find with that second bay plus had fairly good specs (1TB SSD, Ryzen 7, 32GB memory) at an okay price. East setup. It has been performing well.
