This little machine is pretty amazing. With the 14th gen I7 under the hood with 32GB Ram and a 2TB hard drive, what's not to love. Runs fast and flawlessly. Very impressed with the capability in such a small package.

I upgraded to this from an HP gaming machine that I purchased about 8 years ago. This time around I did not need a gaming machine but I did want something that will last 8-10 years and allow me to upgrade and extend the machine as needs arise (disk and memory). I have never been a fan of laptops for all sorts of reasons so I did not want to go that route. The integrated graphics on this 12 gen Intel hardware is so good that for my purposes I will never need a dedicated graphics card. Its my understanding that it will drive up to 4 monitors. I have an ultra wide myself running at a fairly high resolution and it runs that just fine. Everything about the machine is lightning fast. It also runs silently. I cannot hear the fan unless I get very very close to it. The case that it is enclosed in is sturdy metal of some sort. My unit came with the option to use either Windows 10 or 11. Having the option was nice but I went with Win 11 and it runs that very well. The HP Wolf Security software works great on Win11 also. I have not noticed any slow down at all from running the security software. It just does it thing in the background and stays out of the way, as it should be. I love the option to connect internet either with a physical cable or with Wifi. I was also surprised to see that there is a now a feature that lets you spin up a guest hotspot from your computer. Not sure if that is a Windows thing or what but was a pleasant surprise. The compact size frees up workspace. I was able to set it up on my printer rack out of the way but I have seem some people mount these under their desk or even behind their monitor. Lots of great USB connection options. I combined this with a couple small USB hubs for my various devices so I am only using 2 ports for like 8 devices leaving other ports open for more ad-hoc needs. I plan on using this computer for home office work, and also advanced photo editing software which can be RAM intensive but my configuration starts with 32gb and its my understanding this can be upgraded to 128 if needed so should have plenty of room to grow over the years. One additional surprise I had was this this machine has very low power consumption. I was originally trying to use with a smart power strip that cuts power to dependent devices when the PC goes off but this little machine uses so little power that unless you are actively using it the power strip kept thinking that it was turned off. (ha ha) So I just had to use a normal power strip but I thought that was funny in a good way. So yeah love this little machine and I got a great deal on it. Keep it up HP!!
