The pc worked great out of the box. The SSD drive was fast and performed well. But after I installed security software, photo software, and an email client, it started to occasionally hesitate for several seconds, then long enough to exit the application and start over. Most of the issues were hidden settings in the new operating system. The included keyboard was 1/2 inch narrower than standard keyboards and I as an experienced user, had difficulty avoiding two keys in one stroke Finally one day I turned it on and got the blue screen of death. I returned it for another, which I'm still waiting for.
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.
Limited to supporting only two (2) monitor displays. Needs to be more than 280 Watts. These are drawbacks for me, however it is otherwise a very nice PC. Setup - five (5) minutes. It is extremely quiet, it has a very good Intel processor and 2TB SSD storage. It came with 16 GB RAM, so you may want to add additional RAM.
