So far so good, get what you paid for
Hi! I’m a 16-year-old high school student.I don’t need this computer for heavy gaming like Call of Duty, Rogue Company, etc. I play lighter games such as Osu, The Sims, and Minecraft. I also do digital art on Clip Studio Paint and I edit videos on programs such as Adobe After Effects and Sony Vegas Pro. SO, if you’re looking for a review that covers how well it handles gaming this is NOT the review for you.I’d also like to mention that I am also very tech-savvy. I know what’s right, what’s wrong. I will also be keeping GREAT integrity in this review. These reviews for this product seem scattered and it makes me question if people are lying to get their money back which wouldn’t be surprising.I’ll be covering the quality of the products included in this product, how the computer works on its first day and I will be doing an update after a week, a month, 3 months, and so on.It is now November 8th, I just got my computer. There are no scratches, no damaged products whatsoever. The computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse were all packed safely. The keyboard is sort of cheap but thats expected with a deal of all of this for only $200+. I wasn’t using the keyboard anyway. The mouse is smaller than I expected but I am also not using it. Right off the bat, the only problem was the monitor not being as advertised. I don’t really mind the monitor, if i’m being honest but I’m sure other customers would. On start up, everything went smoothly. It turned right on with ease as well as the monitor. It was ready to use right out of the box. The computer is hardly noisy. It’s actually quieter than a small laptop I was using before.First day use: The computer itself runs smoothly, I’ve been downloading programs with ease. The only issue I’m having is the wifi. It’s connected but sometimes it disconnects from my wifi and I’m not exactly sure if its the computer or our router. We restarted it and it continued to do the same thing. I’ll have to do some messing around and see if placement is the issue but so far, it hasn’t been a major problem. Will be back in a week to update.Little over a month:I said i’d be back with more reviews but school has been CRAZY. Anyways, the computer is still running very well. The internet issue went away. However, recently the usb stopped working on me somehow? But that was an easy fix. I got another one from a tech store. What i’ve come to find out is that MY computer didn’t come with a graphics card. It was an intel hp 2000(?) and it doesn’t support openGL, so it couldn’t even run MINECRAFT. There is a slot inside of the tower to enter a graphics card & I recently just ordered one so hopefully it’s compatible with the PC and it runs smoothly. The computers runs very well, not bad enough to complain about but having the upgrades would be nice. I’ll come back once I have the graphics card and see how it runs then.

quite flakey
FEB 2025 UPDATE: Absolutely does not work any more. Bluescreens at every boot, tells me it has to repair itself, then tells me the repair failed. So I got a few months’ use out of this, and now it’s junk. And of course Amazon changed the vendor for it before I’d even received it, so now no recourse or way to contact the vendor who provided it. Amazon seems to change the vendor for this quite regularly.JAN 2025 UPDATE: This thing is getting flakier all the time. Increasingly tells me the operating system has a problem and has to be rebuilt.DEC 2024 UPDATE : This thing is flakey as heck. I only use it occasionally. Once I get it going, it seems to work, but getting it to come up can be challenging and take hours. Sometimes it won’t recognize the keyboard, so I switch which port the keyboard is plugged into. Sometimes it won’t recognize the mouse, so I switch which port the mouse is plugged into. Numerous times, it comes up and tells me the operating system has errors and it has to rebuild it. Thus far, sometimes after numerous reboots, it does eventually come up.The current price is also FIFTY PERCENT more than it was when I bought this a few months ago (just outside the return period). The current vendor is also different than the vendor when I bought it, so I don’t even know what vendor I got it from, so I can’t even contact the seller about the issues.AUGUST 2024 ORIGINAL REVIEW:I bought this as a dedicated PC for my laser engraver in my shop. So now I don’t have to disconnect everything from my laptop (that cost about 10 times what this PC cost) just to use the laser.It came promptly, well packed. Easy setup and plug-in. Everything works just fine. Lots of ports. I had to change it from UK English to USA English, but that was about it. The USB wifi was weak, but I was in a marginal wifi area, so I solved that by using an Ethernet cable direct from the router.For what I paid for it, it’s a real bargain. It’s an even better bargain now, as Amazon changed the vendor I bought it from to another one that’s charging $11 less than I paid.

Tengo un mes con la computadora y no me ha dado ningún problema. La usa mi mamá, que es una persona ya mayor, y no tiene queja. Yo se la reviso constantemente y sigue como al principio. No la tengo bajo mucha exigencia, así que no puedo decir si bajo otras necesidades funcionara igual. El monitor está muy bien y el cpu está muy completo. Tiene muchos puertos usb. Viene con un dispositivo para hacer la conexión wifi, aunque también se puede conectar via ethernet. Realmente muy bueno el equipo. Lo recomiendo!

I purchased this 7 month ago with the intention of using it as a server, and even though it’s fully capable for that purpose, I’ve been using it as a backup to my main system instead. Not a fan of Windows, so I immediately formatted the drive and installed Linux Mint. Flawless and smooth installation. The only time I’ve had to reboot was when I wiped Mint and installed LMDE6 a month ago. It’s been running great and I have no regrets. I did bump up the RAM to 16GB, so it runs even faster than before. It’s NOT a gaming computer, so you shouldn’t expect it to play recent games. I was so pleased with it that I purchased a second system for my wife. She left Windows on it, but her experience has been very similar and she’s quite happy with it.
