HP Pavilion DesktopTower i5 8GB/256GB Desktop Tower

This review is for the HP Pavilion Desktop model TP01-1023w. After several years of doing all my computing on laptops, tablets and smartphones, I have to admit it is so refreshing having a faster processor than a desktop offers. This one has a 10th generation intel core i5 cpu at 2.90 ghz. I ordered a 24 inch monitor for this computer. It also came with 8gb of ram installed. Although it is super fast out of the box, I will be maxing out the memory and purchasing 2 sticks of 16gb of ram bringing the total of 32gb of memory. Most people will not need to do this but I make it my personal choice to max out the memory on any new device I get. Again, this is just a personal preference. This HP has a very sleek design and should fit any desk area, either on the desk top or on the floor. Setting up the account was a very painless process. Windows 10 (64 bit operating system) walks you thru it, along with setting up some HP apps and programs. In addition to an email account and password, you can add a PIN during setup. It's always good to have a backup for access to any device. This will be used as a home computer mainly for my daughters school work, and playing some of her games. The hard drive is only 256gb, but it is my first ssd, so it is a much better technology than the sata hds I had in the past. Over time I may add hard drive space, but that is not a concern at present since there is plenty of usb ports for mobile storage devices. Overall this is a Great desktop computer and there is plenty of room for expanding if you so choose. 5 stars.

This is a slick looking desktop computer. I usually use a laptop but decided to give this desktop a try and I am glad that I did. It is way faster than my laptop and looks really cool. I hooked it up to am old flat screen tv and it looks great. I LOVE the fact that it has bluetooth! I can easily hook it up to my Cricut that is in the other room, no wires required! Also I can put it anywhere as long as I have an outlet, no cable coming out of the wall required. It has a CD rom right on the front for easy access and all of the other ports are right on the front which makes them easy to get to. I had this computer up and running within minutes. It was SO easy. It has a core 15 intel processor. I have always like HP and never run into any issues with their computers. It comes with a keyboard and a mouse. If I ever need another desk top it will definately have bluetooth, it makes it so much easier to hook up to your other bluetooth enabled devices. Will definately recommend this desktop computer to a friend or family member.
