Verified Purchase:Yes
The Bad: The machine came configured for gamers and social medial mavens. It was not useful for serious work and record keeping. Apparently StorageSense immediately erased 20 years of automobile driving and maintenance records (among other things). I still can't figure out how FileExplorer or OneDrive work - File Explorer rarely shows what drive I'm attached to (cloud, local or a USB remote), if in fact they do, and not all of my local files are shown, especially when I desperately need THAT file. My proprietary work has most likely been copied to someone else's storage system (a security risk). At this point, I have lost almost a month's productive work time in trying to configure the machine to be useful. The diagnostic software was unable to identify a failing router. The AI makes far too many judgement mistakes - I will do my own thinking, thank you. Windows 11 has too many options to be useful for the average user. A tech who came in indicated he and a number of friends have gone to Linux just to be rid of Microsoft and Windows. Between an operating system that many users despise, and a State Governor who want to tax Microsoft out of business (...insatiable appetite for money...), I'd be surprised if Microsoft is still in business in ten years.
The Good: Except for missing and/or hidden files (that shouldn't be missing), operations appear to be fast and reliable. Initial physical setup was easy; pretty much plug and play.
dNew desktop and for two days could not use because the screen showed vibrating words and then it would not shut down. Could be the monitor. Need to call hp.
I have no issue with the computer itself, but do like like the cheap mouse that came with it (now replaced)), nor the cheap keyboard (shopping for a better one).
I've had a couple of HP AIOs, but I wanted a tower this time. Initially, I tried another brand, but I could not get it to daisy chain with two monitors no matter what I tried. I got mad and returned everything! After a couple of months, I shopped around again and finally decided on the OmniDesk PC. What can I say? HP for the win!!
I would recommend this to a friend!
