HP ProDesk Desktop RGB Lights Pc Intel Core i5 4570 3.2 GHz 8GB RAM 256GB SSD Win 10 Professional WiFi, Gaming PC Keyboard, Mouse(Renewed)

Great value
Easy setup and everything worked. I found out that monitor cables are unidirectional so if your running a tv as a monitor make sure you get a VGA to HDMI and not an HDMI to VGA which is actually cheaper. I ended up using a DisplayPort- HDMI but that has nothing to do with the computer.

Small gaming computer
Runs great. Easy to set up. Make sure you have the right monitor that fits the tower. Speed is fine. Step son is satisfied with it. Only problem is it could use an additional graphics card. Not sure if an external one is available. Lights look neat. Noise level is fine.

1 Star Problems with a 5 Star Machine
This is not a gaming PC. This is a repurposed office PC with some RGB lights added. This PC would have been at home in a call center in 2014. But, that’s not a bad thing if that’s what you need.Video Outs: 2x DP and 1x VGA, there is NO HDMIUSB: There are 2x USB 3.0 (1st gen) ports and 2x 1.0(?) USB ports on the front panel. There are 4x 1.0(?) USB and 2x USB 3.0 (1st gen) on the back panel.PS/2: There is 1x Mouse and 1x Keyboard PS/2 inputs on the back panel.This is an old (ten years or so) office PC that has been refurbished, had some lights thrown in, and had the HDD upgraded to a (cheap) SSD. All of the non-factory parts in this PC are dirt cheap – but functional.The mouse and keyboard (and in my case a random webcam) are USED products. They have no packaging, and mine came with fingerprints, smudges, and food(?) on them. They’re also very generic – but functional.If you’re thinking about getting this PC for gaming: DON’T. There is one exception which I will discuss at the end of this review. This is not a gaming PC. If the RGB lighting has fooled you, then you need to do more research before buying ANY PC.That said, this PC is excellent value for money _IF_ you know what you’re doing with tech and need a PC with the specific features that make this PC a good buy.I bought this PC to replace an even older desktop PC (GT5476E). One of my relatives decided to “upgrade” it with Windows 10 a few years ago (it shipped with Vista originally), and that essentially bricked it. An elder parent (90+) used to love playing Solitaire on that PC, and I wanted something that would replace it as easily and inexpensively as possible.The Good:—While generic, the SSD and 8GB of RAM make this a snappy little light-load PC. On Windows 10 it boots up in under 15 seconds, and doesn’t feel sluggish doing basic web browsing.VGA and PS/2 ports are a BOON for me, as I wanted to keep the same old trackball and keyboard (both PS/2) that the parent was used to using.—It came with a DVD RW drive, which was not advertised. I don’t know if it works, but it’s a nice bonus. Also a free random (used and cheap) webcam came in the box.—The PC was very well packaged without being OVER-packaged. Shipment and delivery were very fast via FedEx.—This PC was designed to be sat flat and have a monitor sit on top of it, as is common in an office setting. It does stand vertically, too (but without rubber feet). It’s a nice compact form factor.I’m gonna toss the added RGB light strips into the good category, even though I turned them off immediately with the included remote and will never use them again.The BAD BAD BAD:~~~~~~YOU NEED TO WIPE AND INSTALL A FRESH COPY OF WINDOWS~~~~~~This PC claims to come with a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro… however, it is a modified version of Windows 10 that the seller has put their own software into. On the surface, this seems to be related to a built-in “support” program. However, to use that program you must connect to the internet and allow the program to make modifications to your PC. It also appears to be connected to a support company outside of the USA. I do not trust this kind of thing AT ALL and I do not recommend anyone else does, either.—The mouse and keyboard are clearly used and were not thoroughly cleaned to “like-new” standards. They’re also extremely cheap and not high quality – but they work if you have nothing else.—The PC does not have built in Wi-Fi, but it does come with a Wi-Fi dongle which you can plug into a USB port if you want to use Wi-Fi. Again, I do not trust cheap third party dongles to handle the flow of all of my data to the internet, so the included Wi-Fi dongle (also used, no instructions or packaging or branding) is going straight to the trash.—This PC is being deceptively advertised as a “basic” gaming pc. It is absolutely not even a beginner level gaming PC and this is a deceptive practice to prey on parents, grandparents, and non-savvy shoppers who are trying to get a good deal for themselves or their kids. It’s abusive. Tech Magnet, just call this PC what it is and don’t try to deceive people with RGB and the word “gaming”.Final thoughts:—For a PC that is going to be exclusively playing the Windows 7 version of Solitaire, this PC is perfect. This is the only legitimate “gaming” use this thing has.—Overall, for $120 shipped, this is a fantastic value IF it’s what you need. But it probably isn’t unless all you need is a web browser, windows 7/10 built-in games, word processing, and light work duties.—Tech Magnet, if you advertised this properly and didn’t ship it with sketchy software included, I would have given this 5 stars. But, because of your lack of transparency regarding the unofficial software and “gaming” claims, I must give it 3 stars.

Gaming
My son brought this for gaming and he loves it does what it needs to

It’s a great PC if you don’t want to use it, cool lights I guess

The description of this pc said brand new refurbished gaming pc windows 10 and downloadable windows 11 and its a windows 8 and it arrived but noticed right away it was damaged almost all the plug-in spots on the ox are damaged and melted and dirty tried plugging in a HDMI cord but when I plugged it in the pc would shoot it out and unplug the spots were damaged and you can tell they are melted and damaged that right after the HDMI cable would plug in it would just unplug like after a few seconds of it being plugged in and both outputs are damaged , when you plug it in there should be structural support to hold the HDMI cable when it plugs in so it doesn’t unplug itself but nothing is holding it cause the support structure is damaged I can take pictures too for proof, I have a pic that’s a window 8 and we instantly noticed the damage on this one We just got because it’s dirty damaged and the outputs are melted off a bit but it still plugs in a turns on but the problem is we can’t get it to plug in with HDMI cables to the tv we tried multiple HDMI cables to be sure we’re gonna try VGA cables and adapters and see if everything turns on an loads properly when watching it being used on a screen, but hdmi outputs are damaged and some of the other outputs are damaged and the Rainbow lights turn on but they only do auto I think the remote is broken cause the chip is plugged in and the pc turns on and the rainbow lights come on but do auto and don’t turn off and on with the remote so you have to shut off the pc I don’t know if there is a specific spot the chip for the remote for the rainbow lights needs to go on the pc but as far as I know the remote doesn’t work but the auto lights come on but don’t shut off without shutting the pc off which is really annoying, especially if I’m running late at night with the pc on and I’m running stuff on it and trying to sleep but the lights won’t just shut off without forcing the pc off unless the chip for the remote is in the wrong spot or the remote is broken and it arrived 7 hours earlier it should have arrived 7pm but arrived At 12pm I was sleeping so lucky someone came who and let me know it arrived or it would have been stolen
