The computer came with Windows 11 installed. I'm an old man and hate wasting what time I have left learning new stuff when old stuff works just fine. I hate Windows 11. Every change from Windows 10 that I've encountered is a step back. Before M'soft ended W10 support, I download W10 installation media and W10 drivers. Now I'm try to work up the nerve to install Windows 10. Besides familiarity, another upside is that M'soft won't be bothering me with updates.
My fault, but I didn't think a full-size desktop wouldn't have the ability to add an additional internal hard drive....or anything other than more RAM. Turns a good-looking PC into a disappointment for me.
Reasonable size with a fast ssd drive. Ample ram and various ports for external devices. I just can't get used to not having a cd drive or a slot for a sd card reader, needed to purchase seperately. Except for these disappointments, I would have given it five stars.
More and more features are being removed from the computer. No longer can I attached a VGA monitor and there is not a port for flash drives to download pictures. I do not use the Cloud.
I’ve been using the HP OmniDesk Desktop AI PC for several weeks now, and it has quickly become the heart of my creative and day-to-day setup. The performance is excellent — fast startup, smooth multitasking, and plenty of power for video editing, audio work, and general office use. I also appreciate how quiet it runs, even under heavier loads.
Setup Experience: Setup was simple and straightforward. Within minutes I had it connected to my peripherals and network, and it recognized everything without issues. The design is clean, compact, and fits well into my workspace.
What I Like Most: Speed and stability. It handles resource-heavy projects without slowing down, which makes a big difference for productivity. The AI-assisted optimization features feel like a real plus — I notice apps opening faster and system performance staying consistent throughout the day.
Areas for Improvement: I’d like to see more USB-C ports available on the front panel for convenience, as well as clearer instructions on some of the bundled software. Not deal-breakers, but small tweaks that could make the experience even better.
Daily Use: I use it daily for both creative projects (video, audio, and image production) and personal tasks (emails, browsing, streaming). It’s been reliable across the board.
Overall, the HP OmniDesk Desktop AI PC is a strong machine for anyone who wants speed, stability, and easy setup in a modern desktop.
HP small tower is quite good. Very quiet PC. Not sure if I would purchase a PC with an AI processor again. Way too intrusive. Although my replacement machines were running Windows 11, Microsoft Windows 11 on my new tower and laptop has scrambled up my existing systems in a way I thought was not possible. Very upset! With four PCs now untrustworthy I am finally planning to switch to Linux. HP should abandon Windows 11 and offer Linux OS PCs.
