HP - Pavilion Desktop - Intel Core i5-12400 - 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Snow white

A well made product that works fantastic snd had the ultimate in storage dor me. I do a lot of Engineer work on it and have barely used the storage become there is so much. It is adept at performing with SolidWorks, Matlab, design and mechanical computer tools. I highly recommend this pc tower and it is small enough to sit under my desk and not get in the way of my legs.

I had the same HP desktop with the same specs, but after 8 years, I thought it needed more pep, so I ordered a new one and was glad it came in white. My entire desk area is white, which makes me feel inspired to get to work. I was glad to see that transferring my 91,000 files could be accomplished wirelessly with Carbonite. I'm getting used to the Windows 11 program and it's all systems go!

This computer tower makes my home office and personal work a breeze. It boots up within seconds and allows me to complete task in a fraction of the time it has previously taken me to complete these tasks. It sets itself up and I had zero issues when transferring all my applications, files and settings with PC mover. I couldn't be more happy and impressed with this system.

There are many “features” to be deleted or turned off. I am not tech-savvy, and only need a simple machine. This one automatically saves my documents to the cloud — NO! Automatically suggests how to compose documents —NO! Had to disable many things. Had to subscribe to extra cost version of Microsoft 365 to be able to properly use Excel & Word! Very difficult/almost impossible to transfer documents from my old HP Laptop. Product description on website did NOT state that this computer did not come with a webcam or speakers; had to purchase in addition after the fact. Luckily, I did not have a Zoom mtg for a few weeks! Summary: irritating to use. I don’t want Microsoft to force me to do things its way, rather than my own way. By the way, HP Smart Friend is not very helpful in trying to help with setup.

Does the job as expected, no problems or surprises. However, I have two gripes: I don't care for the vertical orientation of the DVD drive. The way I am set up (and can't change) , the loading side faces away from me and is awkward to use. A horizontal drive would be easily accessed from either side. I'm not a fan of the white color used -- it really stands out (in a bad way) with the rest of my equipment, furniture, and surrounding area. The keyboard colors are hard to read with poor contrast between white keys and gray characters. Characters should be black.
