    Exceeded Expectation

    This 'Recertified HP PC' was purchased with a very specific task: utilizing a software program that moves VHS to digital files. An HP Z1 Workstation that previously was used to accomplish this task needed to be replaced. This purchase has exceeded expectations for this specific task. Whatever refurbishing had been done by PlanlTROI reflected quality work. While not necessary for its utilized task, the instructions for activating Windows 10 and the 18 month warranty information has just added to its possible additional uses.

    About a month in, Can't say anything bad at all about this refurbished unit. Great, inexpensive option while working from home. Should note it doesn't have built-in Wifi, so you'll need an adapter.

    why buy new when the refurbished has what you need at 1/2 price. It's great, starts right up, ready to go- exactly what you want it do to

    Best Buy has always been OK. This little HP is not my main computer. It's my HamShack computer, and it does every thing that the Windows 7 machine did. Best of all is Windows 10 that came with the little HP is registered. I did run a hard wire for the internet, but big deal. We have been spoiled by wireless everything.

    It's been a great unit s far. No issues whatsoever. Came with a 30 day warranty that I wasn't even aware of. Nice quality unit and so happy that I found out Best Buy sells refurbished units and stands behind what they sell.

    Not a good idea to buy refurbished computer.

    It failed after 3 days. Ive had it back to Geek Squad 3 times. Each time it worked for several days then failed. After the third time, it failed again. I rebooted and its been working since ( 2 weeks). I’ve had it too long to be returned for refund or exchange. It’s only used for a program to collect data from a weather station in my backyard, so I don’t want to spend a lot for an expensive computer.

    Impeccable. It's getting the job done AND I really like the low profile and how easy it was to set up. I'm just a little disappointed in the quality of the keyboard and mouse that came with it. The mouse is constantly misbehaving. Ultimately it will cost me more. But it is a good machine and user-friendly.
