My first generation Microsoft Studio could not be updated to Windows 11 since the processor did not meet the requirements. To my dismay, Microsoft discontinued the model, which was otherwise perfect for my photo and video editing hobbies. Whe updated to the 4K monitorn this HP has filled it's shies remarkably well. Being a 9 year newer model is, of course, a superb plus since all editing processes, not to mention all other functions, feel like they are on warp speed now. The monitor is on par with the Surface Studio which was of ground breaking quality 9 years ago.
This is a nicely built product. However, to make it even nicer, an expansion slot should be added for insertion of CDSs', & a stronger frame would be nice to fit over the monitor, itself.
This is an upgrade from an old Windows 10 all-in-one. Every worry turned out to be false. It has a CAT network cable plug, which wasn't obvious from the description. The transition from the old PC was fairly painless. My old "home and student" Microsoft Office ownership was recognized after signing in; I needn't have bought any software. As expected, the electronic storage eliminated the slooow behavior of the old hard drive.
So far so good. I have only had this set up for a few weeks. As of now I am very satisfied with the setup and usage. I am definitely not a constant computer user however, when I need it I need it. Time will certainly tell if this positive attitude will continue.
So far, love the computer, although still learning about windows 11. With such expensive computer, HP should also include the detailed instructional manual rather than have new owner go on line all the time or print a copy.
The product is excellent but the set-up was a frustrating figure-it-put-on-your-own experience. Thanks to Google, I did finally succeed. The face recognition system could use a lot of work since it only functions once it four or five sign-ins.
