Microsoft Authorized Refurbished- HP Elite Desktop PC Computer Intel Core i5 3.1-GHz, 8 gb Ram, 1 TB Hard Drive, DVDRW, 19 Inch LCD Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, USB WiFi, Windows 10 (Renewed)

Out of the box it appears to brand new could never tell it was a refurbished seller took great care of packaging it. Also revived another added bonus of having a monitor that has sound built in. Only down side to this whole thing is windows 11 can’t be upgraded to but I will definitely buy from them again around the holidays for another computer.

I am totally happy with this computer. It responds fast while on the internet and I have a slow internet connection. This computer makes it feel like it is high speed internet. I am having a hard time staying off of it. LOL Thank you for the number for tech support.

Over the past few months of owning this computer, I've run into several problems from inconveniences to being completely unusable at times. A main issue is the computer will constantly disconnect from the internet, and sometimes not connect at all (as well as having USB wifi which is terrible in general). The advertised 1tb of storage is spread across 2 folders, one with around 100gb of storage which all files automatically download to and another with the remaining storage, where you have to manually put any bigger files there, making the process of downloading multiple things such as games grueling. The computer also lacks in how well it runs anything, lagging often and having airplane turbines whirring any time you try to run a process slightly bigger than a browser. It took so long to get the computer to work well enough to write this review.

Works perfectly just not the best for FORTNITE

perfect No problem

I purchased this computer for my 16 year old for Christmas, and he really enjoys using it. We have no issues and it's very good value for the price. Wi-fi connectivity is great as well as the quality of the graphics. It doesn't hold a ton of storage, but he keeps his tidy. Very stable and no issues with power.

So I bought two and got two totally different experiences. The first one came with an ugly bulky square monitor straight from the 90s and the cpu was extremely loud and annoying. The second came with a slimmer sleek monitor and cpu is quiet as a mouse. Please note that both times I purchased the basic least expensive option that is supposed to come with square monitor. So it was a pleasant surprise when I got the upgraded version. Not sure if that was intentional or not or maybe they just ran out of squares. Picture shows both monitors, the one in front is the square one that I will probably never use. I use double display so the back one is from a separate purchase. Seems to be hit or miss on what you will get. Worth the gamble since you can always return and try again if you are up for that hassle. I didn’t return because I waited too long. Happy I rolled the dice and got lucky second time around. Gave it a 3 star rating because that’s the average of 1 and 5. Happy hunting.

This arrived in two medium boxes packed into one giant box. I know that may sound a bit questionable, but everything was secured with Styrofoam and bubble wrap. I received the pc, a monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, and a usb wifi dongle. The pc itself runs pretty quickly, windows 10 is already installed so all you have to do after turning it on is set up your profile, i.e. language, email, settings, etc.I'm not using it for anything other than job searching and the occasional YouTube binge, but it seems to be working perfectly. The keyboard and mouse aren't name brand, but they get the job done. This is perfect for just starting up a job search and maintaining my own budgeting/files/tax forms.I only had ONE downside which was that my monitor arrived semi-disassembled. The front frame was off and the LCD panel was just hanging onto its motherboard by a connector ribbon. I panicked initially, but it ended up just being a matter of carefully putting it back together. (Hint: remove the stand first, makes things 75% easier.) I'm leaving this at 5 stars since I technically have now learned how to replace the LCD display if it ever dies on me and I understand that sometimes things happen out of anyone's control.Edit: 6/23 still working perfectly fine, no problems at all, no overheating, I added a headset with mic and a camera for Zoom interviews. Everything installed and worked smoothly. I've been recommending this bundle to friends with dying pc's as this is a decent base model that can be padded up with new hardware if you're a teach head.
