    So simple to set up - no usb needed to plug into tower for mouse/keyboard (should take that off the outer box image for the keyboard) for wireless connection - the tower is smaller than I expected which is great (about 12 inches high, 5/6 inches wide) sleek, modern design that really only looks like a speaker. Would buy again and again.

    Nice small desktop with more than enough power for normal home use, Sound is nice. pretty natural but not really up to B&O standards and it is mono, which was a mistake in engineering. Would be very impressive If more effort was put into the sound by adding a subwoofer output and making it higher quality stereo which would not cost that much to manufacture. As I said not really audiophile, more like Bose quality which is enough for the average user if they don't need thump. Will not replace a good set of speakers but is in a nice package. I'm glad I bought it but don't think there is much future in this format as is. Still a very good value even if it didn't have a speaker,

    My wife was in the need of a new desktop. We saw this computer in the store and she was instantly interested. A few searches for other people's reviews and we made the decision to take it home. In addition to the looks, she is impressed with the quality of the sound and the abundance of features. This is her first Windows 10 computer so it took a bit of getting use to. Set-up was a breeze; easy to get started right out of the box. In no time, she was fully functional. We have been long time HP users and this computer reminds us why! Pros: Ease of set up Sound quality Speed (CPU) Cons: no documentation (other than set-up sheet)

    The HP Wave was easy to set up, looks good on the desktop and is powerful enough for general web browising and office work, which is what I bought it for. The speaker is descent and cleverly integrated.

    This device was very easy to setup. Connect monitor, put batteries in the mouse and keyboard, connect power and power up. Automatically connected to the mouse and keyboard wirelessly without need for a USB transmitter. Detected my HP 27" display and was up and running. Network connection was quick. Even my wireless printers showed up quickly. Great job. Did have a momentary sound issue. Found it was application related. Cortana picks up on the speaker that is built into the WAVE and all is well. My friends find it hard to believe that this is a PC. It has all the power and speed needed. Only thing that would make it better. How about 2 HDMI ports instead of 1.

    I needed a PC to put on my living room entertainment center that was compact and looked good. I was going for the i5, or was it the 7? But they were not in stock, and I wanted it then. Not disappointed for what it is used for, which is to stream online music in my living room. It is attached to my 65 in TV, to do some internet work, while listening to music, while I"m having breakfast. It looks great sitting on the shelf beside the TV. Sort of looks like it is maybe a bass speaker with this design.

    Stylish and inconspicuous, this pc hides away in the TV stand. We recently cut out cable TV, and this pc does a great job of supplementing what we lost. It is easy to connect to a TV or receiver with an hdmi cable. The wireless keyboard and mouse are adequate, though the mouse seems a little chunky compared to others.

    For the novice with standard needs

    It certainly has its peculiarities, its cloth surface being one of many, but it'll suit the necessity of those used to mid-end computing. Don't purchase this thinking it'll be modular-friendly, unless you feel like voiding the warranty (I had to install an exterior DVD drive and freeware just to play DVDs). HP assumes that you'll use only what's provided therein. It takes over an hour for Windows 10 to be fully updated, so allot that time to spare as it does so. The speaker is a decent sound system (the computer is basically a giant speaker!), but there's also an aux jack for those wanting improvements. The bluetooth is adequate for wi-fi internet connection, making the ethernet port a mere option. To use a VGA monitor, it's best to buy a VGA adapter (not included). The keyboard has its faults, due to its wireless signal cutting frequently and requiring repositioning rather often, as well as being short enough to cram certain function keys from their usual placements (arrows, home/end, delete/insert, etc). Overall, it's a satisfying purchase.

    Sleek speaker look, great sounding speaker, takes up little space on your desktop and everyone asks, "where is your hard drive?" I paired this with a 27" HP monitor and it is my dream team. You won't be disappointed.

    Looks great, doesn't take much space at all. Just wished it would have come with a wireless subwoofer, then the sound would be perfect. Great basic and very user friendly computer.
