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.
This appeared to be a reboxed unit as some of the components (keyboard and mouse) were opened and there was no user manual included. Machine works fine, though.
New HP computer is fine, but Windows 11 sucks. Loved my old HP computer with Windows 7. It was bulletproof. New system has to be hard rebooted frequently.
