I was looking to replace my old HP PC that was "telling" me it was on it's last legs. For once I wanted to be in control and not wait until it died. I wanted one with a DVD-R and card reader. I appreciate that it's smaller than my older model. It was easy to set up.
Has everything I wanted for home use, I do my own taxes and keep records ,I have a HP laptop like it. But I like the desktop for taxes it was easy to transfer files and programs, some I used CDs but most was tower to tower .
I really like my new PC Desktop. It runs fast and it's great for the Internet. I added Norton and that keeps things well-oiled & running. I kind of wish I'd gone with a larger amount of memory but I've been able to adjust and keep things running with many windows open. The DVD drive doesn't seem to want to work right all the time. I need to turn this in for warranty work. I added my external drive and have worked around that issue for now. The graphics are great. Enjoy playing games and it moves along very quickly. Don't have to wait for buffering like my old HP (it was probably 5 years old or more!). Lots of USB ports. Great for charging my iPhone and the other USB devices. Do wish there were more on the back however. It doesn't look too nice with all these cables running out of the front of the PC. Overall, this has been a wonderful PC and has made my life run faster and keeps me organized. I would definitely recommend this PC as long as you aren't running with tons of programs running at the same time.
I am really glad I purchased this PC except for one issue. It has a very fast startup {within 10 seconds} due to the Solid State Drive. The 16GB of RAM is more than is needed for everyday tasks but great to have if you like games or have to multitask. My only problem with the configuration of this PC is there is no option to add a graphics card. The integrated graphics on the Rayzen 5 is , at best, fair.. Otherwise, I really am enjoying this PC. It is a great buy for what is included.
