HP Essential 17-cp3602nr Laptop, 17.3" HD+ Touch, Ryzen 5 7430U, Radeon Graphics, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Wi-Fi 6, Win 11 Pro, Blue

nice design

My fault, but I didn't think a full-size desktop wouldn't have the ability to add an additional internal hard drive....or anything other than more RAM. Turns a good-looking PC into a disappointment for me.

Very good quality PC for a good price. This computer is well designed and works great out of the box. Definitely will purchase again.

I really like my new computer; it has many nice features. I would have preferred to be able to get it with a card reader and CD drive. I don't understand why these features are not available on new HP computers.

Had to upgrade to a Windows 11. I have owned several HP upgraded desktops and laptops

My new HP OmniDesk AI M03-0000t desktop replaced my old HP Envy 795-0025t desktop purchased in July of 2019 which had become slow and did not work well moving to Windows 11 upon Microsoft's end of support for Windows 10. I love the fact that my new OmniDesk is so fast. Everything I do now is so responsive. It was easy to get set up and working. I can't comment on long-term reliability since I've only been using it for a few weeks but so far, I am loving it.

It hard problems the first day and got worse

Connecting wireless keyboard and mouse

The ease of use

System lacks access to stereo hookup. Wireless connection is weak.

Its slow. It gets locked up and is not expandable. Would not recomend to anyone and will not be purchasing and more HP products.

This is a very fast computer. It was difficult to transfer my data from my old computer, but I got most of it except for Turbotax files.

More and more features are being removed from the computer. No longer can I attached a VGA monitor and there is not a port for flash drives to download pictures. I do not use the Cloud.

not enough monitor connections

great tower, very fast

Fast desktop. Fast processor, like the 14th generation I 3. Excellent memory with DDR-5. Downloads are superfast with excellent graphics. Easy setup took a few minutes. All Hp computers are easy to operate. Ample storage for what I'm using it for. Overall a very good computer for an I 3.

The sale really wasn't a sale. It's a tower, no keyboard, no mouse, no screen. They market it like your getting this super deal.

The Bad: The machine came configured for gamers and social medial mavens. It was not useful for serious work and record keeping. Apparently StorageSense immediately erased 20 years of automobile driving and maintenance records (among other things). I still can't figure out how FileExplorer or OneDrive work - File Explorer rarely shows what drive I'm attached to (cloud, local or a USB remote), if in fact they do, and not all of my local files are shown, especially when I desperately need THAT file. My proprietary work has most likely been copied to someone else's storage system (a security risk). At this point, I have lost almost a month's productive work time in trying to configure the machine to be useful. The diagnostic software was unable to identify a failing router. The AI makes far too many judgement mistakes - I will do my own thinking, thank you. Windows 11 has too many options to be useful for the average user. A tech who came in indicated he and a number of friends have gone to Linux just to be rid of Microsoft and Windows. Between an operating system that many users despise, and a State Governor who want to tax Microsoft out of business (...insatiable appetite for money...), I'd be surprised if Microsoft is still in business in ten years. The Good: Except for missing and/or hidden files (that shouldn't be missing), operations appear to be fast and reliable. Initial physical setup was easy; pretty much plug and play.

I needed a computer. I pondered many options. With pray, I decided on the hp desktop which I have now. I'm so very pleased. It was a healthy investment. It works so well and makes my time on the computer much more pleasant. It's the 1st I've ever purchased. All the rest were from friends, a library and a gift. It is definitely an investment due to my financial position. Again, I'm so very thankful to have it.

Very happy with the new computer. Easy to operate
