Common faulty desktop, loud click as either a fan startup or relay engages. Also the botton USB-C port is dead or not hooked up. It takes a good amount of time to update patches and from a cold start over 30 seconds to boot up. I loved my last two Pavilion machines. I thought this would be an upgrade at a good price. Google noise from HP OmniDesk, I returned the first machine they sent me, the second replacement has the same issue... very common.
This computer is the only electronic device in my house that has a problem staying connected to my Wi-Fi. Not only does it disconnect from the Wi-Fi but the option to turn on the Wi-Fi and select a network is gone, I mean the box is missing so I have to restart the computer. Sometimes more than ounce. But the most recent problem is when I start any card game the casino ads freezes while the sound still plays. When the timer turns to an x no matter how many times, I push to close nothing happens. I have to restart the computer. I am really thinking about returning it.
Very good computer. My only issue is that the network adapter periodically cuts my internet while I'm using it. This is annoying when I'm on a zoom call.
Upon purchasing, I explained to the sales rep that I needed a computer with processing power that can handle audio, recording and music production. She recommended the gaming pc I currently have and it is not capable of processing and multitasking audio. The computer she recommended is good for gaming and not audio production.
