Honestly I didnt expect much. Yet, I was extremely surprised. Ultra surprised. The kind of surprised that I would almost start a Youtube channel just to post a video about the computer surprised. Lets start step by step. It came on time, 2 day Amazon Prime shipping, check. The packaging? Id actually be kind of amazed if something would of happened to the computer, extremely protective packaging, a big box, then lots of protective paper on the inside sorrounding another box, and inside that box, this air chamber panel buffer case sorrounding the computer, computer safe, check. Extra: mouse and keyboard, already had my own but its really nice of them to spend a spare just in case. Included: Power plug. Included: Operating system. Really? Yup. Windows 10 with upgrade. Performance: Outstanding. Might not have the newst specs, a wi fi card, a massive shard drive storage, killer graphics video card, etc. But youd be extremely surprised how well this computer performs. Which is no big deal, ethernet card is great, and the 256 storage is more than enough especially living in a world where most things are on the cloud anyways. Their is nothing bad I can say about this computer in any sense. Even comparing it to more updated models. Awesome extra: I hadnt connected the speakers yet, but when Windows turned on I heard a chime kind of sound. Would you beleive it, the computer actually came with a built in speaker, okay okay, its not great by any means, but its a speaker, and to me that was really kind of cool. Finishing up with this, this company I bought from, is great. I mean really great, makes me want to scour through all their inventory of compuers and laptops even though I dont need one right now, and tell my friends about it kind of great.

I bought this computer about a month ago. If it continues to be reliable, I will be very satisfied with it. I have mostly used macs in the past, except at work where everything runs on Windows 7, so I knew that there would be an adjustment to navigating and controlling a windows 10 PC. It has gone as well as I could have hoped. The system looked like new except that there were two open card ports on the back when it arrived. On a new system these would be covered by a metal plate. This is a minor thing, and actually will make it easier when I get around to installing a sound card upgrade. The BIGGEST COMPLAINT I have with this is that the only way to register the windows is using a key code that is ONLY available on a sticker afixed to the outside of the housing. Mine was SMUDGED a bit, so I had to do some creative guessing. If I had not been lucky with that I would NEVER have been able to effectively use the installed version of Windows 10. I STRONGLY urge the refurbishers to find a more reliable way of providing this essential information to their buyers. Perhaps a rectangle of plastic taped over the sticker before handling and packing to ship them? This issue is the only reason I took two stars away. Otherwise you would have gotten five stars.

It arrived in a box that was way too big - I think this was Amazon, not them. Amazon didnt put any packing material to fill in so the interior box slid around like mad inside the Amazon box. However, the box from the company was very very well packed, so I am sure that helped. I unpacked and heard a rattle as I was setting up. I opened it up and there was a piece that fell out (photo) and I have no idea what that is? But it doesnt seem to be causing an issue - So Far.... 4GB of RAM is really slow, but I will upgrade it when I get a chance. I despise Win10, so the 7 Pro is really nice... Sometimes "Oldie but Goodie" is really what you need. I will be using this mostly for book editing, so I dont need anything truly fancy. I also do customer service at home and it seems to work well for that so far. Again, updating the RAM will help there. The SFF is wonderful. It is sitting on one end of my desk with my printer on top, It makes it really easy to get to the USB ports (four on the front, more on the back... I can plug in my tablet and my headphones very easily and that is awesome.) That is one of the reasons I got this machine - the USB ports to fit my needs. Overall, so far it is working great and seems to be a really good investment. Received from Seller: "Thank you for your order --- That is a jumper, used when putting a BIOS password on the motherboard --- that actually may not have even come off of your machine, it may have fallen into the box during packing. Sorry for the confusion, it not being there will have no impact at all on your machine or its performance. Thanks for taking the time to review our product as well." So,. there ya go!

booted up right away. comes with mozilla pre installed. i like the windows 7 pro. could use a hdmi port, but theres a displayport. 4 gig ram is good enough to do pretty much everything you need. Im using it to check emails and stream videos and its perfect. for around 100 bucks, its hard to beat.

This cpmpoyer I received is absolute garbage. the exterior case is broken and cracked. The stickers are all dirty like coffee spilled. The fan is so load and keeps going up and down and squeaks. The cd rom just spins and spins and does not recognize any CD. I cannot fathom how this passed any type of inspection to be certified as fully refurbished. Sending back. And if they make me pay for shipping, I am gonna give amazon an email with pictures. Terrible.

Computer came with a non certified version of windows. It wont update or work at all. Tried to verify the product key and it says I need the correct operating system. Wth?! I guess you get what you pay for. I will be sending this back for a refund. Not at all Microsoft certified refurbished.

I purchased this computer for a friend who is a senior citizen who had a computer recently die. She got the computer and had the cable company hook everything up, but it doesnt work. The fan is ridiculously loud and you get the blue screen of death. The computer is so loud that you can hear it from outside her apartment. I requested to do a return but the seller never emailed me a return label. My elderly friend contacted the company but she received poor service and she was told that a man would call her by 2pm and he never called. This company should not be allowed to sell products on Amazon and hopefully I dont get ripped off.

I wasnt happy when I realized it had Windows 10 pro 64 bit on it. I wanted Windows 7 64 bit. That being said, I discovered I dont hate Windows 10 as much as I thought I would. Probably because of all the wars I had with Windows 7 over ownership. This seems to take me claiming ownership better. Plus I know my Android phone and Android tablet and how they work so Windows 10 makes sense to me but with more control than the Androids. And that has nothing to do with the computer itself just the OS [dont confuse the two]. The computer runs like a champ. Extremely quiet. I had no problem opening her up, I wish all cases were that easy. Pull the lever and the top pops right off. The inside is cramped. But considering how little room she takes up, thats to be expected. Getting to the slot for my second hard drive was a breeze. Its right under the DVD. Simply press down on the foot and up it come when you pull. I put in a 1 Tb harddrive. She started up told me she found the drive, listed it, and asked if this set up was okay. I told it yes, it started up without a hitch. To get rid of the old Windows 7 files, I formatted. Delete wont work. She wants me to have ownership of them so I bypassed it and formatted since Windows 7 had crashed and had to be reinstalled wiping out my drive. [thank the computer gods for Crashplan]. More than enough slots. 4 on the front makes it really nice. It also has microphone and speakers/headphones standard plug ins in the front. My only complaint is the position that HP chose for the start button. They should have just put the HP symbol on it, instead it blends in perfectly with the cover and for my older eyes was a bit hard to see but once I learn the position, there will be no problem. The only faults is I cant put the second DVD/CD Read Write Drive in because of the space. The second hard drive was my choice. I will probably get a drive case for my others and convert the second DVD to external.
