    Saw this on-line and couldn't believe the price! It has everything that was needed for gaming. Not a super high end computer but it has a lot of good features; I probably couldn't put a computer together for the price I paid. It's HP, never have had issues with any HP computer I've owned and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable quick computer.

    Very good computer that can run basically any game you want the only issue is the cpu runs hot but you can fix that with a Corsair h60 AIO liquid cpu cooler for like $80. Another issue I noticed was when you have too much stuff plugged in at once, like all the USB ports are used, you will get some beeps from the motherboard on startup I assume a higher wattage psu will fix that in the future

    I was debating on building or buying but this deal was too good to pass up especially by a reputable company like HP. It had everything I wanted and plus it's even liquid cooled! Super quiet and boots up so fast! Build quality is top notch too. I primarily bought this as an upgrade to play the newest flight simulator P3D V4 with addons and this computer plays it pretty flawlessly in 4K!

    I bought this not really knowing what to expect. Wifi works just fine. No complaints there. Runs my games really well. Don't know what it's listed at now, but It was price matched down to 999 so was a better value than I expected. Only problem I've run into is sometimes it has a problem starting up. Overall, I love it.

    Disable Microsoft OneDrive. Install Windows 10 PRO. Add a 2 TB hard drive, Then it can be used like the computer you are used to using. Be sure to select Only store to this PC when upgrading MS Home to PRO. Otherwise you will quickly fill up the OneDrive 5 Gb and Microsoft will begin draining your bank account...

    Solid out of the box, but not quite future-proof

    This computer has a lot of great features and perks, but it also leaves a lot to be desired as well. Let's be clear: out of the box, it's a solid unit that will serve many people just fine. 8th gen Intel i7, GTX1060 (3gb), 16gb of ram, two zones of RGB lighting, and the OS installed on an M.2-mounted SSD drive + 1 tb disc drive. Plus, the entire left side is clear so you can see all of this goodness inside with an easy-access push button to remove said panel. So where are the issues with this desktop that is marketed as a gaming PC? There's a few, and they are spread throughout the entire unit. But first, let's talk about the good: ===== PROS ===== 1) As a complete package or for somebody who just wants something that works, this is a solid desktop. There's enough graphics power, ram, and processing power to sustain many years to come, provided you aren't a power user of any kind. 2) Visually, the unit is quite nice. The glowing LEDs shine nicely through the clear side panel and there is an obelisk logo on the front panel that is also separately lit. The LEDs can be controlled through an included app and can be set to a number of different settings, colors, and/or patterns. 3) There's plenty of connectivity between the front and rear panels. USB 3.1 (Type-A and Type-C), front and rear audio connections, Dual-link DVI, HDMI, and 3 Display-Port. Some might argue that there aren't enough USB ports (7 type-A and 1 type-C), but it's more than suitable for my needs. 4) The fans seem to be keeping the unit from overheating just fine. There are three total (1 chassis, 1 processor, 1 GPU) and I've had no issues with overheating or really excessive fan noise. As I'm typing this now with the computer basically idling, sitting less than 4' away, I can barely hear them. ===== CONS ===== 1) There is almost zero expand-ability available as is. The stock motherboard, while sufficient for the included hardware, does not offer the ability to plug in any additional accessories outside of adding another hard drive (there's one available bay and sata plug) and another ram chip (there's two total slots). Both M.2 ports are used (1 for the SSD, 1 for the on-board WiFi). The only PCI-e slot has the graphics card plugged into it, so running dual cards or adding additional cards (such as a sound card) is out of the question. Personally, I would have liked to seen a desktop that is marketed as a gaming PC have a little bit more options for expansion. Of course, many of these woes could be solved by simply swapping the motherboard... 2) Although HP has included an 8th gen i7 processor, it's not a k-series, so overclocking is not an option. 3) Although the specs for the motherboard list/show an optical port, they decided not to include it on this model. To make matters worse, there is on-board HD 5.1-channel audio support, but not offering a port to plug into, limits the user to HDMI as their source for audio. While this might work for some, it required me to completely reconfigure my cabling strategy and abandon my Display-Port, daisy-chained monitor setup. ===== ADDITIONAL ===== The first unit that I received was not perfect. On the first startup, I received a set of warning beeps and was unable to get it to boot. When I finally got a visual error message on the screen, it complained about the CMOS checksums being invalid. I tried swapping the CMOS battery for a brand new one, but the issue persisted. After playing around with it for a few minutes, I finally got it to load to the Windows setup screens and had it up and running minutes later. Naturally, there were updates available, and upon restart, I had the same warning beeps and could not get it to boot again. I was also unable to use one of the Display-Port ports on the unit (no video and no audible from Windows when plugging into it). I tried re-seating the GPU hoping that would cure the issue, but to no avail. This process continued for a few days until I finally had enough and contacted HP. HP was quick to contact me and the gentlemen I spoke with, David, was very apologetic and understanding. He asked me a few questions and I explained what I was seeing/hearing and what I had done in an effort to correct the issues. He agreed that there was something indeed wrong and informed me that they were building me a new replacement unit and that he would overnight it to me that day. A couple of days later (it was over the holidays) I received the replacement unit with an RA for the defective unit. The new unit started up without issue and all of the ports worked as they should. I did encounter the beep/CMOS error warning one time with new unit after our power went out. Once I finally got it back up and running, I decided it was a good time to update the BIOS firmware. Since then, I've had no issues. Overall, this IS a solid unit that would probably suffice just fine for most people. However anybody interested in overclocking or expansion should probably look elsewhere or consider a home-build. For a turn-key solution though, this would be a good option. I also have to hand it to HP's customer service and support. I spent 16 years in customer service before I switched to IT and I have a high level of expectation to how a customer should be treated, especially when that customer is me. HP was fantastic and many companies could learn a thing or two from the staff I dealt with.

    I honestly didn't have huge expectations about this machine, given the sale price was so cheap. Also the Nvidia video card is a little on the older model side now days. But wow. this thing is crushing anything thrown at it. Overclocking the GPU got an additional 30% speed. I'm very impressed. good purchase.
