I have had this desktop for 2 months. I wish that I would have replaced my old one sooner. The desktop is so much faster is every aspect. I upgraded to an HP monitor and the colors are so bright.
Poor driver support and lackluster wifi accompanying lackluster realtek components. They used to use intel and were solid. Price also dropped significantly after purchase. Runs a bit hot.
The Idea of the computer is great not so much HP s

Verified Purchase:Yes
The computer itself would be great if I didn't have to pay for HP to look at the computer two days after setting it up. They want to charge me because it's not a hardware issue. The wifi disconnects every single time I use it and once that happens I can't go into any settings. If I restart it freezes. I have to hard shut off. I will never buy online again. I should have gone to a physical store.
The computer is fine however, the external power on/off button failed: the internal on/off button works just fine but the external mechanical button dosed not make contact with the electronic button. I have had to take the computer to an authorized HP repair facility, consequently I will not be able to use the computer for probably 2 + weeks. Not happy
The setup was quick and easy. I did have to disable some items from startup that I do not need to start up and to remove McAfee but it was minor so very little bloatware on the system. I was able to install all my programs and apps. And I had no problems installing all my Microsoft apps as I have a heavy MS user. The only thing I have to do that I have not done yet is install a new SSD SATA drive and make it my primary drive. I can see where the hybrid SSD of 250 GB will run out quickly. Not sure how well this upgrade will go to a 1TB SSD but we will see.
