The price was great for the features available, and it had additional features that my old computer did not have, like, blue tooth, SSD drive, and regular hard drive. It boots up quickly and is ready to use in about 30 seconds. Monthly Updates happen quickly. I have been using it for about three months, and I am quite pleased. Since I am retired now, I use fewer programs now than when I worked. Learning Windows 11 takes a little time, since it is different in many ways compared to 10. I did need to get a separate SD card reader, since my camera used SD cards.

Great little basic computer. This is not a gaming computer, basic sound and no video card.

My Windows 10 tower did not meet specs for the free Windows 11 upgrade. After 3 days of research on this HP Tower 290 G( - 16GB, 256 SSD, I core 3, I decided to order it. I'm 82 by the way. I received the Tower quickly. Changing the connected USBS, Monitor connection, etc from the 10 Tower to the 11 Tower was easy. Everything powered up the way it was supposed to and I was able to access Windows 11 with no problem. Read all instruction windows carefully and you should be OK. I transferred my copied documents and pictures from Windows 10 to 11 with no problem and was able to import all of my bookmarks. I use a separate and older Microsoft Works 9 (2007) for my word processor, spread sheets, etc.! It installed easily. I also have a 15 year old Canon Pixma MP240 that installed with no problem. I hope this review will alleviate any doubt or anxiety about ordering this product. I've arranged my home screen to look exactly like my Windows 10 did and I'm having no problem accessing anything from the files or the internet (AT&T Fiber Optic).

Ethernet connection didnt work.Keyboard didnt work.Couldnt load certain financial software which is why we bought it.Couldnt get dual monitors to work hi def. Had to go VGA on both monitors.I started in computers in1976 Marines. Ive been int this a long time and havent had problems with a computer like this since Windows 95 and single core processors.They have a 30 day return policy and I see why.Again- in good faith- dont buy this computer.

Not a cutting-edge PC, but much better than the older one I had been putting up with. Much faster, and can run Windows 11 (comes installed), which my old one would not.Good at the price. Happy I got it.

I purchased this computer for business and it works excellent so far. My previous computer gave out after 3 years I could not turn it back on and no one was able to prepare it. I went with this HP and I like it so far.

This loads quickly, and the included Windows 11 runs smoothly. Programs run quickly, and videos and websites load swiftly and do not freeze or crash.The unit is quite large, but it fits nicely in a corner under my desk to save space on my desk. It's also very quite and seems to run surprisingly cool, even after hours of use.The only issue I had was that I use dual monitors, and there is only one HDMI spot, so I needed to hook the second monitor up via a VGA cable - it was easily done but slightly annoying.
