    Does everything my pre teen wants to do. My preteen is big into Roblox and drawing. This computer runs her Roblox game without issue, and connected to her drawing tablet with ease. Great product.

    I was kind of weary about buying a refurbished computer, but it has run perfectly in the year I've owned it. I did however upgrade the 8 GB DDR because that's just not enough for the speed I wish running multiple programs!

    Am so glad I made this my New desktop. It does everything I ask of it. This related a dell which was only 2 years old but decidedly not to like me anymore. I have told lots of peeps about my “new” refurbished HP Compaq

    Windows 10 wouldn't activate, Office wouldn't download and the computer reacted painfully slow to any input. Returning for a refund and the money will go towards a new unopened computer.
