Pros: Given the system's performance, it is relatively inexpensive. The 11th gen i7 is blazingly fast. When combined with Nvidia's RTX 3060, it yields an excellent gaming experience for most games. It's not a Pro rig, but it is a solid gaming system. The Nvidia 3060 also offers amazing processing power for AI, video upscaling, and rendering applications.
Cons: The system is not very tunable or expandable. There are minimal controls to manage power and performance. There's only one open 1x slot, and no open M.2 slots. My CPU runs 85C at 22% to 30% utilization. The 3060 runs up to 80C+ at 98% utilization.
Out of the box, I replaced the M.2 with a faster 2TB. I'm researching memory upgrades, improved CPU cooling, and adding heat sinks to VRMs, memory, and M.2 drive.
I've had my new HP for about two weeks and it is super fast, quiet, runs everything i use really well. I have over 100 000 pictures and they load super quick. MS Office is really fast also. No complaints so far.
Great value but performance is not on par with similar speced pcs. HP needs to work on the performance and expandability. Right now I can't add a secondary Nvme SSD or memory cause all slots are occupied.
I've had this computer for about a week. Shipping was faster than anticipated. Product was packaged really well; super safe. Boots up fast. Between the processor and the video card it can handle intense gaming and graphics without breaking a sweat. So far, I'm very pleased with this purchase; worth every dollar I spent.
Outstandingly fast gaming PC. Will meet all of the benchmarks for current graphic intensive games. Couldn't have built one with these specs for less than the HP price. Great value, great PC!
