Very nice machine. Bought this to replace my wifes 10 year old HP Pavilion with a Pentium Dual Core(!) that she uses to work from home. I Installed a bigger SSD, and her graphics card, cloned her data over and Voila! Great little box. Boots fast and is super quiet. Only strange issue I had it that the covers over the expansion slots are actually made as part of the case and have to be broken off with pliers. That was a new one on me. Otherwise, no issues.
Good value for the money. 256GB SSD is sufficient would be nice to have 512GB. Really big 2 Terabyte hard drive to can handle all the video and music files.
Delivered product was as advertised. Almost !! The front USB ports are USB 3 so that was a plus. Set-up was quick. There are the expected set up procedures but the Start-up went easy. A little problem getting some programs to load to the 2 TB hard drive which is the "D:" drive but not really difficult. Fast machine !! Fast delivery!! Reviewer not compensated for opinions.
My old Pavilion Desktop finally bit the dust and so replaced it with this HP Pavilion Desktop. Very easy to set up and load some of my favorite apps and software. The multiple USB ports on the front were a selling point for me also; very convenient for cameras, external hard drives, etc. It is an all around great functioning computer. Lots of storage on this computer was also a big selling point.
I actually bought this for the optical drive, since I download my music onto it. But it's glitchy. Sometimes it will read the cd, other times I have to eject the disc and re-insert it a couple of times before it reads it.
Unit was ordered and paid for online, arrived timely, well-packed, easy setup.
But, after hooking and powering up, there is something loose inside unit, the DVD-RW does not work 2-4 times in trying to watch a DVD...have not tried to Burn anything yet!
Would opt for a larger SSD the next time, as the 256 GB space is going too fast.
first, and probably last time "I" will order a pc through the mail, and had I been able to find the unit in the stores I shop, I would not have!!!
