Slim Desktop - Intel Core i7 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - HP Finish In Dark Black

I had the last generation Slimline 270 because I really liked the form factor. Doesn't take too much space on my desk but makes all the ports within reach. This is the updated model and is improved on a number of fronts. 1. Uses standard 65-Watt Intel Core i7 CPU instead of the 35-Watt on the last gen. This makes a big difference if the workload stresses CPU for an extended period of time, think 3D CAD, video transcoding, engineering simulation and gaming. This is possible because the case air flow has been redesigned. 2. Increasing number of cores from 4 to 6 by virtue of 8th generation Core architecture. 3. More efficient 80Plus Gold rated power supply unit. 4. Redesigned keyboard and mouse. The keyboard and mouse on the last gen were THE worse input devices I have ever used. This new set I'd say is above average. Much improved and aesthetically pleasing too. 5. Dual slot PCIe expansion instead of single-slot on the last gen. So better compatibility with a discrete GPU. 6. Available M.2 slot for PCIe NVMe/SATA SSD. Overall a great computer. Extremely fast and runs quiet.

I rated this product based off of the retail price however, I purchased this PC on sale for 499.99, and I purchased it for a friend's parent who has recently retired and wanted a PC that would last them a while. He is mostly be utilizing Microsoft Office and web browsing. With the i7 processor and 8GB of Ram, this machine will that and last a long time. To prolong its life this machine sits in an open area with zero airflow obstruction. This is a small form factor machine so it will produce a lot of heat just like a laptop, but the heat produced will be in conjunction with what you are making the PC do. If you plan on running Adobe Creative Cloud or any system taxing program I would recommend swapping the hard drive to an SSD (less heat production) add 8GB of memory and not storing the tower in an enclosed space or just purchase a regular sized tower. Overall I expect this PC to last around 5 years or more with proper care and maintenance. THIS IS NOT A GAMING PC!

Super fast and great value. I bought a open box but it was basically brand new.

I picked up this PC rig on a pretty incredible deal. For the price, it was just what I was looking for. This PC setup is a reliable business rig. For the gamers out there, understand that this PC includes a Intel hd630 graphics card which is incorporated on the motherboard. So no, this PC will not run Fortnite or current gen games. For running applications, handling business for my online job, this PC works great.

Over all really like this computer. The guts are high quality and ahead of the curve. Only a couple downsides. Pretty easy to topple over, without covering the vents needs to be blocked up. The disk drive is not motorized, very similar to a laptop disk drive, personally not a fan.

This system is amazing. Dropped in another 8 gig ram stick, m2 ssd and a low profile gtx 1050ti. You got your self a $1500 + power house at the fraction of the cost. Simply amazing.

After exchanging the first CPU, the second one is working fine. Good Black Friday deal for this Intel Core i7 CPU. Very fast and efficient, and compact for space saving. The first CPU was slow and the fan keeps on running. The painful feeling is getting Best Buy to give the same discount price exchange. After close to an hour in store, Best Buy was able to exchange (return & reorder a new one to be pick in store).

Good basic computer, I liked getting an i7 processor at this price. Small footprint. Just added an old monitor and was up and running in no time. Found the default power settings were shutting me down frequently at first but no complaints once that was adjusted. Would buy again.
