Looking for an overgrown cellphone to play games and surf the internet?

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this all in one with the understanding by the HP Sales agent that I needed a computer that would be able to handle music, both recording and editing using a couple of specialized programs. I was assured the computer could do those jobs with ease.
The computer arrived and I set it up but the recording and editing programs would not work with the computer's 'integrated audio'. After much adjustments, I did at least get the music to play correctly but it will not record from outside sources, recording only stuff already on the computer.
The computer is very fast and works MS programs (Word, Excel, etc fairly decently but certainly not in a spectacular fashion.
It does surf the internet.
All in all, this new 'super computer' is, literally, an oversized cellphone that plays games and surfs the internet. If that's all you want, then this machine will be good for you, but if you are looking for something that performs work functions, you need to go with something else.
In conclusion, my 15 year old HP Pavillion that I intended to replace with this one is set back up on the desk beside this one and for it's chosen task, is still used, and can work circles around the overgrown cellphone.
I replaced my 7 year old Windows 10 HP 27" Envy with a new Windows 11 27" OmniStudio desktop. Pros: The new machine is blazing fast and I like the height adjustable screen vs. the previous machine. Cons: The old machine's display had a finer resolution and better speakers (Bang & Olufson).
The computer unexpectedly slipped from its monitor stand, falling off my desk and hitting the floor. As a result, the screen cracked, and the device is no longer operational. Be aware that the monitor stand has a design flaw—if tilted forward, it disengages, causing the monitor to fall to the ground.

I ordered this all-in-one computer and received it within a week. Easy setup right out of the box and all my data transferred easily through my Microsoft account. The new features are amazing, and I am highly satisfied so far with this system.
