Update #2: We got it back working. Lost everything that wasn’t stored in the cloud but didn’t have to buy another computer which is a plus. Update: After 3 years of use the computer started having problems. It would reboot randomly and now doesn’t want to boot up. Ran some diagnostics on it and it seems to be an issue with the hard drive. I’m going to try replacing it, hopefully this works. Great for work and personal life. Read more

I'm a computer geek and picked this up for my wife who didn't want me to build a custom rig. This is good for light gaming and perfect for anyone who just wants a very fast basic pc. It has great specs and you can always add more memory for a better gaming experience. Overall great pc. Read more

The optical drive listed (Optical Drive Type ‎DVD+RW) was not included :-( By October the on/off switch nor working. Contacting HP was like being on a roundabout. Read more

Recommended this for a customer of my IT business. His existing desktop was on its last legs (built for Windows XP sticker on it), and this was a priority purchase. This has a 512GB MVME SSD (rare at this price point), 8 gigs of ram, which we immediately upgraded to 16, 8 usb ports and a DVD drive which is handy for businesses. it is compact, relatively free of bloatware, and the Windows 10 updates took less than an hour. With the Ryzen 3200 APU you will not be doing intense gaming, but for a small business this is a perfectly competent machine. At $449.99 US this is a good machine. One thing to note, with a 180 watt PS, do not plan on adding a discrete graphics card. Read more

This is an amazing pc. Only complaint is the amount of bloatware, but it was minimal. It sped up the performance just to uninstall the bloatware. It plays most games at low settings 720p at 70fps or medium setting at 35-40, and all that I’ve done was add 8gb of additional ram. It is extremely fast and is quiet to the point of wondering why my older one way making so much noise. It is pretty much silent. It is not for gaming unless you play less demanding games. It has better graphics performance than even a nvidia gt 730. In some games it rivals the Gt 1030. One thing to think about is that when I put the ryzen apu into a custom pc, the performance increase was significant. I was going to use the motherboard but seeing as it’s proprietary no can do. My complaint is that everything was really proprietary which I guess would help with manufacturing costs, but the only things you can really salvage is the ssd, the ram, and the cpu. This can be upgraded to any Gpu without an external power connector. Read more
