Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had this just over a month now, really like its speed. The speaker puts out great sound, really fills the room with music. The keyboard reminds me of a laptop keyboard. It is a little small and takes some getting used to. I might replace it with something better, and bigger. The mouse also was an adjustment, but I still don't really like it. It seems stiff and a bit clumsy, so I will replace that. I do like the Bluetooth capability for both devices, though. The tower is very cool looking, very modern and not at all clunky like most towers. Love Cortana, even though she only searches in Bing, would prefer Chrome instead, but still a fun feature. Getting used to Windows 10 is a bit of adjustment, but overall, very pleased with the purchase.

From some of the reviews I had read on this product, I was expecting it to be more cheaply constructed. Some complained the keyboard was flimsy and cheap, however, the machine and accessories are solid and well made. The mouse could use some improvement but for the price paid for this machine I can't complain too much. - Setup was pretty painless for a Windows machine - Performance is excellent for most tasks due to the SSD - Gaming is adequate. It can handle Minecraft, older games, and newer games that scale well with no issues. I tested it with Minecraft, Half Life 2, and World of Warships. WoW had to dial down to medium settings and max 1400x900 resolution to get 30 fps, but that is perfectly playable. Gaming was not the intent for this purchase anyway. - Sound is excellent out of the single big speaker - It is pretty much completely silent - Power efficiency is excellent, you can just leave these guys running as they sip power Overall, very impressed, but I haven't had the machine for a long time yet.

This HP - Pavilion Wave Desktop is truly remarkable. In a small footprint it encloses a solid state drive, a 1 TB hard drive and a great Bang and Olufsen high quality 360 degree speaker. There is also an enclosed microphone for voice calls. Great computer! The only thing missing is an optical DVD drive, but you can easily add an external one.

I bought this to replace a more expensive ($800+!!) Toshiba Satellite 3-in-1 laptop that didn't even make it to 1 year. The hard drive kept getting damaged from the one thing laptop are needed for - mobility (fixed it under warranty and within 3 weeks, it was damaged again)! This machine is a STEAL! It's fast, quiet, and tiny! I really love it. The keyboard is a little laggy, but not terrible. It's nice it comes with a wireless mouse and keyboard to begin with.

I bought this for my wife and she is very happy with it. It easily out performs her old i7 notebook and doesn't take up much desk space. She can be impatient so the quick start the ssd give it is a bonus.

Our family loves our new HP Wave Tower. We purchased it along with two HP 23es Monitors and are very pleased with our purchases. The speed is good while running multiple apps/programs and the sound quality from the built in speaker is fabulous for an internal speaker and plenty loud when the extra sound is needed. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our new purchase. We purchased the monitors in store and ordered the Wave itself from BestBuy.com as the store did not have any of the i5's in stock. Both in store and online experience was 5 stars.

I purchased as a work computer. I listen to tons of audio and wanted great sound. The B&O equalizer is awesome. I paired the computer with Bose headphones and it plays amazing. Computer speeds are great and I run multiple programs with two monitors. It has been a happy purchase.

I hesitated buying the HP Wave. It was replacing a 5 year old HP desktop that had performed flawlessly until the hard drive gave out. The more reviews I read the better the Wave looked. I finally gave in and ordered one from Best Buy. The UPS man showed up with a small package that weighed nothing. I was surprised at how small the Wave was. It's maybe a foot tall and maybe six inches wide and looks like a stereo speaker. The hookup was simple. Three cables. One for power. One for the ethernet. and one going to the monitor. I didn't use the supplied mouse and keyboard since I had my own I preferred. Push the on button and you were set to go. It loads fast with Windows 10. The built-in speaker takes up the upper middle of it's triangular shape and while not the greatest speaker, it was more than adequate. Only thing I added was a separate external CD/DVD/Bluray player. All in all very pleased with this purchase. Nice job HP.

Works so easy and the B&O sound is the best.Windows 10 plays all my windows 7 games and you'll how easy it is to use.It is fast and the video card works great. The looksof this Computer is what sold me.

I read a lot of reviews and watched some videos about the Wave before pulling the trigger but my biggest deciding factor still was just how great this desktop looks on top of my desk. After reading other reviews I was a little concerned that it would be powerful enough for my needs. I do some web development work as well as some photo and video editing. So far this HP has blown me away on just how good it is compared to much more expensive, and uglier, machines I've used in the past. I've also heard that the speaker isn't that great, and maybe if you're in a big open room it might not be that great but I'm in a small cave-like home office and the speaker works great.

I love this desktop pc. It is stylish in my home office and doesn't take up much room. Love that is has an sd card reader and many hdmi ports. The one if front is very useful too. I use this mostly for picture editing and it is fast. Not much lag time when running multiple programs at once.

Easy to set and and start using this PC. No issues at all

I use it mostly to make movies with Power Director. I am pleased with the performance.

I love this speedy machine. It handles everything I need; from business to personal. It has excellent sound quality and is great to play music on. I recommend it highly.

Very pleased with this computer. Set up and running in less than a half hour. Its fast and easy to navigate. I added an external dvd/cd drive and it works great.

Only had the computer for approx a month. But so far so good! Got it on sale for less than the price of it's less powerful counterpart. So that was a win in itself. Quick and easy setup. The SSD is amazing. Im able to restart my system and its up and running in a matter of about 20 seconds. The B&O built in speakers are ok. Even with playing around with the settings the sound is a little "hollow". But no deal breaker. Disappointed that many computers dont come with Office anymore, but whatever. You can still use the full versions with Office online. All-in-all very pleased with the purchase.

The actual computer works great. I bought it because of the small compact size. I have an old desk and there is no place to put a computer but on top. The only downfall was the mouse and keyboard that came with it. They are bluetooth. The mouse died within two days and the keyboard doesn't connect to the computer flawlessly. It either misses keystrokes or adds extra letters.

I like the fact that the printer has a small footprint but has lots of power. So far, the computer, monitor, and printer are working great.

This system offers plenty of speed, a terrific built in sound system, and ultimate convenience. It looks like a speaker sitting atop the desk and has the advantage of easy access to the USB ports as well as the headphone plug. Very pleased with this system and would recommend.

the new computer is very fast and I like the compact size,
