Good Value in a Productivity PC
I purchased this PC to replace an ailing HP Omen i5 I use for productivity and digital slideshow creation. Given the Envy is an modern i7 with 2x the system memory, 1.5x the dedicated graphic memory, and a 1/2 TB SSD, the improvement is amazing. Using the SSD for software and as the scratch disk speeds up startup and program execution. The included 1 TB HDD for data storage assures I'll have plenty of room on the PC data storage.
With 9 USB ports, WiFi-6, Bluetooth, and a LAN port, there is plenty of connectivity available. The one thing I find disappointing is PC and display card makers often include a single HDMI connector alongside three DisplayPort connectors. DisplayPort offers performance advantages when playing games or streaming and while some monitors have a DisplayPort connector, many monitors only include VGA and HDMI inputs. This PC is marketed the home productivity market, not the gaming market. There are 4 video outputs on the included Nvidia card, one HDMI and 3 DisplayPort. To use a second monitor with HDMI you will need to use a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter.
Like almost all new PCs, there is no CD/DVD drive and no opening in the case front to install one. I have connected a Blu-ray writer via USB with excellent results.
The PC bundle included a wireless (USB dongle) keyboard and mouse. The keyboard has a small form factor with "chiclet" keys. No documentation is provided to explain the symbols on the numerous function keys, nor can it be located on the HP site. The mouse is, well, not so hot. You have to pry off the entire top of the mouse to install the batteries, it doesn't fit my hand very well and feels cheap. I replaced it with another wireless keyboard and mouse that provides a better user experience.
Finally, there are several expansion slots including room for another internal drive provided in a case that is considerably smaller than the HP Omen. There is lots of room for you to upgrade the PS's capability.
I ordered this PC directly from HP along with two monitors to replace my entire home office setup. HP provided free, standard shipping and all of the products arrived within 3 days of the order confirmation. Great customer service.

Great performance and great price!
My new Envy desktop was easy to set up and get going right out of the box. It included an impressive amount of performance for the money...an upgraded video card; plenty of RAM and an upgraded CPU. It has plenty of USB ports, although it is a bit challenging to identify which have upgraded capability.

Up and running again.
I was replacing my eleven year old HP Envy desktop that died during a series of intermitten power failures. The hard drives were ok but the motherboard was fried. Was able to set up the new desktop easily even though I was unfamiliar with Windows 11. Having so many USB ports on both the front and back of the new PC made connection of peripherals easy. I was able to restore all of my data from the hard drives I pulled from my old desktop as well as an external backup hard drive. I scavenged the DVD/Bluray drive and connected it externally to the new PC since this model has no DVD drive. I have added a UPS battery to my configuration to keep power outages from causing problems. The new PC is faster and slightly smaller than my last unit. It is a pleasure to use.

Good Replacement for Hidden Objects Gamer
Very nice, compact machine with just the right amount of graphics power for a lover of hidden object games but not a power gamer. Replaced another HP machine that was 12 years old. Only upgraded because old machine was not compatible with Windows 11. Look forward to another 12 years with this one.

Your customer service is refusing to respond to my request for a return. It's a good product but my needs have changed.

Reboxed/Refurbished
This appeared to be a reboxed unit as some of the components (keyboard and mouse) were opened and there was no user manual included. Machine works fine, though.

The new computer has worked very well so far. With HO Smartfriends Service, I have successfully brought all the data backed up from old HP Desktop to this new one. Now, all my Apps are working smoothly and quickly. I look forward to many years of useful performance.

Don't like Windows11
The computer seems to be fine but I don't like Windows 11 at all. Maybe I'll get used to it but so far, it's terrible.

The product works well and fast but the fan is making an annoying noise like a bee! The noise is very disturbing!

Easy setup and remarkable boot up speed.
I was happy with the ability to transfer the setup information from my old desktop. I was up and going on the new desktop in less than 30 minutes. The turn on speed is also remarkable with the SSD.

Worse Computer I ever bought , the same issuie everyone is complaining about happens to mine too
This is the worst computer I've ever bought . It's WiFi shuts 3-5 times daily requires a restart everytime . I've never seen anything like it. My Photoshop fails constantly if I'm uploading a video while trying to edit. My Microsoft outlook doesn't load properly sometimes it takes 3 times to open , I can open it up in the mail tab everytime though . I have to save everything everytime the WiFi drops , to reboot it won't even open the box to reconnect. After installing all my software and getting to use it my 30 days is up. I'd love to return it but cannot without spending fees. I may have to just ditch it and go buy a Dell because moving forward I can't even imagine dealing with this for the next 4 years, it'll cost me so much time and loss of work it's simply not worth saving a few bucks instead of buying the Dell I wanted

HP ENVY Desktop TE01-2265t review
great computer, runs every game I've tested at 70+ fps. After upgrading the RAM, this really is a powerful machine for how cheap they're selling it.
