I purchased this computer a month ago and a separate NVIDIA GTX 1060 Ti graphics card for gaming and game production. Though there is room for a standard 1060. This computer has not disappointed me at all playing triple A games on mid to high settings. Hard drive does read on task manager "disk 100%" when running games, but doesnt seem to affect performance in any way. I am very happy with this purchase. I Dont recommend putting in anything larger then a GTX 1060, as the system has a 300w power supply and am not sure if the power system would be able to support a graphics card any larger. Plus the gaming version of this same system exact specs uses the GTX 1060. But I bought this system and saved money rather then the gaming version and bought the graphics card cheaper on Amazon.

For an i7 processor, this isnt too quick. Works OK if you dont have to do anything that taxes the system. Have had this for ~10 months and the power supply died on me. HP Support will repair it--only takes three weeks! If I want it back in only two weeks, I have to pay their "expedited" fee of $50. Next time Im getting a Dell or Lenovo. Cant afford this downtime.

Really nice other than Wi_Fi performance.. Barely picks up a signal from within 8 feet of wireless router. My phone and laptops all connect fine.

I bought this when my 8 year old PC bit the dust. I wanted a CD rom, because I use some software that is still loaded via CD. The CD Rom on this does not work. It doesnt spin, it doesnt load, it isnt recognized in the file directory like a USB drive is. Its just a decoration on the front of a pretty silver box. That being said, I did not load that software first. First I transferred all my old files from my hard drive to the new PC. So, now I have this all set up with my files (word docs, pictures, everything I need) but cant load the software I want and need. Is it worth it to return it? Probably not. Is it a bummer the CD rom doesnt work? ABSOLTELY! My bad for not trying it first. PS -- Yes, I am aware they make external CD Rom drives. I just dont want to buy one since I chose this model specifically because it had one.

Received yesterday, and machine seems good so far overall but the wireless keyboard leaves something to be desired. The keyboard does not have a Function Lock key and in Windows 10 it is locked to "On." If you need to use the F keys for an application as I do (Bloomberg) this is a major inconvenience, as you have to depress the Fn key each time to get the F keys to work as intended. Amazon support told me to turn the computer off and on and when that didnt work to contact HP (thanks a lot), who then told me it required a BIOS change and to call their HP advanced support team which would help me for a charge. Found several things online about how to do it but apparently there is no option in the BIOS in certain HP models to turn off Action keys the way there is in their laptops, and with the other manufacturers. Thankfully I have a Bloomberg keyboard I can use instead but if you use the F keys regularly for a program, or even want a number lock key on the keyboard (have to use the virtual keyboard to toggle that) then you need to either try your own keyboard or choose a different computer. The amount of time spent on this due to HPs lack of support (without charging for it), and the silliness of removing functionality like the Num lock keys and having no way to change Fn key lock, is disappointing for what seems like a decent desktop otherwise. Also, the only thing included is a quick start guide, given the unique composition of the keyboard would have expected at least a key for that. Bottom line, since I liked that it came with a wireless keyboard and mouse, wouldve chosen another option.

Have not had any issues and the computer preforms well in many benchmarks. Only negative for some - 3D graphics fail on some tests, so gamers might need a better video card. I use it for office work, and it fills my needs perfectly.
