I don't use a computer a lot, so this has more speed and storage than I actually need. It replaced a 12 year old desktop, and the difference is amazing! I replaced the keyboard and mouse immediately as they were corded and poor quality. I got the computer on sale and, for the price, nothing else came close to having the features on this one.

As someone who actually bought this instead of getting it for free… I like it. So far I’ve had it for a month and everything is working great. My only issue is that sometimes it doesn’t want to wake up from sleep. I don’t know why it does that. The last time I bought a computer was in 2016 so this was an uuupppgrade for sure lol. It runs fast and was easy to set up. I do wish HP offered more colors. The screen doesn’t glare and the graphics are good. I’m not a techy person so it does what I need it to. I do just need the space to save my files that I create when I 3d print.

I got this for my kids' for Christmas to fit into a nook where we put a small desk. It has come in very handy for online schoolwork since we've had a lot of snow days this year. It works great for browsing the web, word processing, watching occasional videos, and basic games. The monitor is large and reasonably high resolution for these uses. If you're looking for a computer for watching large amounts of TV/movies, you might want a better monitor. And if you want a computer for gaming or anything else that takes a lot of oomph, this is not the computer for you. It's a small form-factor since it's an all-in-one (computer is built into the monitor) which makes it something of a niche product. In many cases it would be better and cheaper to have either 1. a laptop or 2. a desktop and separate monitor. This type of computer is especially good for areas where you want a bigger monitor than comes on a laptop, appearance is important, there's no room for a separate desktop, you need a stand-alone keyboard/mouse, etc. This form factor comes with compromises. The hardware is significantly worse than what you'd get in many priced laptops because you're paying for the bigger screen. The processor and RAM are probably sufficient for most average users. As with most laptops, this computer has an onboard rather than stand alone graphics card. Graphics-intensive games will not run well (if they do at all). To test it, I played a few games such as Marvel Rivals and New World and it could play them, but the settings had to be all the way down and it was still not great. I also noticed that the computer ran a bit hot when I was taxing it. There are vents on the back of the computer, of course (which is an advantage over some laptops where the fans face down into the desk) but this sort of layout will never be as good at managing heat as a desktop. Aside from the power port (which I was disappointed is proprietary rather than something more universal like USB-C), there are a handful of ports on the back of the computer. There are 4 USB-A of varying types and 1 USB-C, a headphone jack, an ethernet jack, and an HDMI port. This seems like a reasonable number of ports for this computer and I'm glad to see a hardwired ethernet jack even though the computer also has WiFi. The (wired, not bluetooth) computer and mouse are fine, they're nothing special. Setup was reasonably easy, but I was dismayed at the amount of bloatware on the computer. Some programs even added themselves back to the computer at some point after I uninstalled them. I get that it's common for MS to force its other products on Windows users recently, but I just have to put it out there because computer manufacturers could make them stop - do not do this. If you want me to prompt me to download Office during setup, okay, I get that, but don't have it pre-installed and don't make it so I can't install certain programs (I'm looking at you, Edge). Stop turning on all these Windows widgets by default, too, you're slowing down my computer and making Windows seem way more clunky than it has to be.Overall I'd rank this computer firmly good, but not great. If you are one of the relatively small group of people who needs this form factor and you won't be doing anything too taxing, this is a good option. Otherwise you might want the versatility of a laptop or the increased power and customization options of a desktop. 4 stars.

This is my first All in One Desktop, and was advised by several IT people it would be hit or miss, and for me, personally, it's a HIT! I am using it strictly for occasional remote work. The processor is fast, PC is robust, the setup was easier than expected. I'm not worried about adding a more robust graphics card or upgrading anything, so for me it is a perfect fit. I am a happy user.

I'll start off by saying I am heavily biased toward HP and Dell for their quality, easy documentation, and straightforward things like driver updates. That said, this is a decent AIO (all in one) machine, but for the price, I would expect a keybaord that has a more premium feel. The included one definitely goes with the asthetic, but it feels cheap. Even a white chiclet stile keyboard would be an upgrade, and you can do that yourself for about 20 bucks.Beyond that, 8 gigs isn't a lot of memory anymore. Neither is a 256gb drive. To be honest, pairing this with a ryzen 5 over a ryzen 3 seems like an odd choice.Let me make this very clear: You're paying a heavy premium for this to be an all in one. You could get an HP laptop with more power for the same cost. Or a more powerful HP desktop with the monitor being separate for less cost. This also doesn't have touch capability, though there are configurations of this VERY same model that do. Not including that as a configurable option here for this listing is further perplexing.Yes, get an HP. Yes, this one can be good if you throw a better keyboard. No, it's not worth over 500 bucks in the base configuration, and if you bump it up to the 15GB ram confugration, then it costs as much as an EliteOne, which is a far better version of this.Don't get me wrong - I'll keep this and it's decent, but I can't recommend it given HP's other offerings.
