I replaced my HP Pavilion running Windows 10 from 10 years. I did not realize how sluggish the old system had become over time -- booting up from power off took about 5 minutes. I am very happy with the start up time and performance with the new HP Envy running Windows 11 -- it actually boots up now in about 20 seconds.
The SSD drive is everything. This computer is so fast my head spun around. My old computer has the I5 processor too but not a SSD drive for start-up files and what a difference that makes. I also upgraded my RAM from 8gb to 16 gb and that made this computer way faster! Wait till you see the keyboard. Insane
I love my screaming fast new computer. I just wish you had little info - somewhere - to explain how to set up a dual monitor system. After research I figured out that I needed to use the Display Port. I don't mind buying the cable, but being a home user with no experience - it took awhile to figure out what that funny looking port was for ! Its fantastic that its there and now my system is functioning beautifully with two monitors, but maybe add that to the quick setup information.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So people bust on me for buying a desktop PC and not a laptop. Well I guess I'm just old school. The HP Envy Desktop TE01-1165t PC is a great little machine. I love the dual hard drives and it was a breeze to setup. I work with PCs for a living so I'm a little bias on the breeze part but I'm very confident that even the most novice will find it very user friendly. I don't do a lot with my PC but it is great for Adults who are running a home and kids looking for some gaming action. I play Steam games and the response of the PC is great! I know Win 10 is big part of the overall experience but the hardware is extremely complimentary to the Win 10 OS. It came with a beautiful wireless keyboard and mouse. They feel and look very modern. Only a little issue. The "0" on the number keypad on the right of the keyboard sticks a little bit but not a big deal. I'm going to call and see if I can get it replaced. Overall that is the only detractor to this PC. I also purchased a beautiful HP 27" PC and it compliments the PC beautifully.
I always did like HP over all the others. This is not my first one. They all ran grate and I still have them in working order. This one is the faster of them all. Plays all the games I play on max settings and still keep the fps maxed out on all the games. Boots up in a few seconds, load games fast and I have them on the 1 TB HDD. The OS is on the SSD, But the computer has no lag at all, and is faster then I thought it would be while gaming, Everything on this computer is really fast, I will keep buying HP computers for a long time, So are they are the best out of all the computers I had in my life time so far,
