I bought this computer to replace 10 years old HP tower. Towers are built cheaper than 10 years ago but still work great and my speed has definitely went up. Says it supports 5.1 but only has 2 outlets for speakers and my 5.1 Klipsch system requires 3. DVD writer is a bit flimsy in how it opens and closes. I am still happy with computer considering price point.
I was concerned about getting an i5 processor. But this HP ENVY Desktop TE01-1165t PC is a monster. It boots up faster than my i7 Envy Laptop. It has everything I wanted and I'm very happy with my purchase.
Bought this to replace an 8 year old gaming computer that has been having issues lately. It is defiantly an upgrade, but not as fast as I thought it would be. So far the only problem I have had is one random shutdown after a fan warning a couple days ago, but it hasn't happened again.
This is a phenomenal computer that is not loaded down with a ton of bloatware. So far it's been able to run Graphics intensive games at 120 frames per second. It's lightning quick on all areas and a steal at this price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I gotta say the performance is good. I thought I would regret switching from a mac after 20 years. I am impressed and it is pretty fast. I use it for graphic design and it holds up pretty well. Haven't had any issues yet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was amazed at how quiet this machine runs. It did not come with any unnecessary bloatware. I was able to install all of my programs without a single issue. They open fast without any issues.
