Amazon Renewed Renewed HP Elite Desktop PC Bundle

Especially considering the price, this is a great little day-to-day PC with Windows 10. Obviously not for hard core gamers but that’s not the intent of a few hundred dollar machine. It’s reliable and fast enough to do eg banking, emailing, editing, streaming and lots of lower level gaming. Note that it will not upgrade to Windows 11 as is, not having a powerful enough CPU. While Windows 11 is nigh upon us, Windows 10 will be supported into the future (until October 14, 2025 according to Microsoft). 2nd possible drawback is the mini sized toy monitor. I actually put it aside and am using my original one. But that’s just me, it’s quite adequate. Overall a very affordable way to have a reliable perky little PC on your desk.

Bought this as a replacement for my mother as her 10 year old desktop died this starts up fast and is reliable

I received my desktop today. Shipped the same day! I am very satisfied with the condition of everything. I was very happy to receive a HP monitor to match! I wasnt expecting the wifi adapter but after reviewing my order I saw it is included. I thought it was a little extra gift because its brand new in the package. The keyboard and mouse aren’t made by a major brand but Im ok with that. They work fine. My only complaint is some of the usb ports look damaged. 2 have some white looking chips or placeholders in them and I cant use them. Other than that its in great working condition. Now I just need a good set of speakers! Home office feels complete!

Update 3/26/2023: Computer has crashed twice. Makes me nervous because I purchased this computer to work from home and if it crashes when I am working it will effect my work.

Update 4/23/2023: I received a replacement on 4/21/2023. The desktop looked in better condition but the monitor is damaged. The monitor does not always turn on so I have to turn the desktop off by the button to try and turn the monitor on. Every time it goes to sleep is loses the ethernet connection. I am so grateful I purchased the Asurion protection plan because they walked me through uninstalling a driver just to get the ethernet connection to work. I have to do this every time I want to connect to the internet. Asurion has advised me to return the desktop and get a refund. I plan on it as soon as I get my check. Both computers were duds. Not worth the headache.

Update 3/7/2024:
So its almost a year later and I still have the replacement computer. I used it pretty consistently up until the fall of last year. It sat unused for months until I recently started using it again. I only use the computer for work and light use purposes. I can say I got my money’s worth on this computer. I did experience issues early on but the fact that the computer is still working speaks volumes. Thank you!

UPDATE to this review: I originally gave them 3 stars but dropped to ONE star. I am now uploading pictures of the computer, which has damage to the back side. Looks like they put some plastic covering over the tower itself, maybe due to scratches or something in order to cover them, and I would not mind at all but forgot to mention this in first review that the plastic was peeling up and this was right out of the box. I also thought it had an HDMI port but it does NOT so the new monitor I purchased came with an HDMI cord that CAN’T be attached so had to use the VGA cord that this company gave with the CRAPPY OLD Dell monitor they supplied with the computer. I just purchased a new HDMI to USB cable since the HDMI cord gives much better resolution than VGA. Pictures also loaded. Unfortunately you may not be able to really see the incredibly POOR resolution of that old monitor, and it has a yellow tint that I could not fix even when I tried changing the brightness and contrast. But in comparison to the new one I just got- the quality is night and day. The company said they would refund me $10 (wow) yet I have NOT seen that refund yet and it has been several days. I won’t hold my breath.

I bought this refurbished since I did not want to spend a lot of money on a PC. The tower was in good condition, but the monitor was not the one in the picture and I failed to see the note that they ship whatever parts they have. Well- this monitor looks like one of the first monitors made. It is big and clunky and resolution is poor. The WiFi adaptor included worked for about 10 min and then stopped working. Other people said the same thing in the reviews.

I contacted the seller and he said that he couldn’t replace the monitor but would give me $10 credit for the WiFi. I purchased a new one from TP-link and it worked perfectly but cost me $20. I also bought a new monitor and paid $60 for it so hopefully that one will be good- it won’t arrive for another week.

So, this $130 computer ended up costing me over $200. I should have just returned it and started over with a different company but it does have 1TB hard drive and the processor is good. I did not want the hassle of having to box it all back up and drive 1 hour to the nearest UPS store to do a return. Disappointed.
