HP Elite C2D 3.0ghz, New 4GB Memory, 250GB, Windows 10 Professional (Renewed)

Honestly I didn't expect much. Yet, I was extremely surprised. Ultra surprised. The kind of surprised that I would almost start a Youtube channel just to post a video about the computer surprised. Lets start step by step. It came on time, 2 day Amazon Prime shipping, check. The packaging? I'd actually be kind of amazed if something would of happened to the computer, extremely protective packaging, a big box, then lots of protective paper on the inside sorrounding another box, and inside that box, this air chamber panel buffer case sorrounding the computer, computer safe, check.Extra: mouse and keyboard, already had my own but it's really nice of them to spend a spare just in case.Included: Power plug.Included: Operating system. Really? Yup. Windows 10 with upgrade.Performance: Outstanding. Might not have the newst specs, a wi fi card, a massive shard drive storage, killer graphics video card, etc. But you'd be extremely surprised how well this computer performs. Which is no big deal, ethernet card is great, and the 256 storage is more than enough especially living in a world where most things are on the cloud anyways. Their is nothing bad I can say about this computer in any sense. Even comparing it to more updated models.Awesome extra: I hadn't connected the speakers yet, but when Windows turned on I heard a chime kind of sound. Would you beleive it, the computer actually came with a built in speaker, okay okay, it's not great by any means, but it's a speaker, and to me that was really kind of cool.Finishing up with this, this company I bought from, is great. I mean really great, makes me want to scour through all their inventory of compuers and laptops even though I don't need one right now, and tell my friends about it kind of great.

WOW...ordered the computer on Thu-27 and was delivered Sat-29. Opened box andcomputer was packaged very securely. Although it was a reconditioned machine ithad no visible ware marks or damage. Minor item, it was missing a PCI-slotblank on the rear but that's no biggie, a 25 cent part, did I mention that thiscomputer was $98 and included free delivery on Saturday!Placed computer on the desk, wired it up and turned it on. At first I thoughtit did not power up as there was very sound coming from the machine. I checkedthe back exhaust fan and it was running properly putting out a good amount ofair...it was just that quite! I only mention this as I'm very anal aboutcomputer noise. Anyway, windows ran through its setup routine and immediatelyopened my desktop. I had purchased this computer to run some windows softwarethat wouldn't run on my current OS platform. I have not used windows since XPand I must say that at first glance windows 10 doesn't seem to be as horribleas many people say!Ultimately I am VERY happy with my purchase. Lastly, I don't know for sure butit seems when you push the "buy now" button for this product you don't know forsure which particular vendor is suppling the product. Mine came from the BlairTechnology Group and I feel they were instrumental in my positive experience inthis transaction (how they prepped the computer, "READ THIS FIRST" sheets placedin the shipping box, numerous ways to contact them, etc, etc). Overall I wouldhave no issues recommending this product if it came from Blair Technology Group.

If you want a temporary PC until affording something better then ones like these are perfect to do so. They seem to break down in mere months even when you check for ways to fix any software errors and the like. Its hardware is also brittle, crashing immediately if you make the mistake of slamming the mouse on the surface away from it for instance, making this scrapping noise on its front section where the power button and USB ports are located. It does not feature a built-in Wi-Fi conductor to use it as a connection, and it does come with an external unit to make use of such but on my case it just stops it completely and I have to rely on using a cable connected from my router to stay online.More problematics issues include that its shell is filled with scrapes and scratches, but since its a refurbished item I would expect such from the beginning. The USB ports often short out, not connecting directly with the mouse, keyboard, or even allowing to plug into your smartphone device until you just restart it in hopes that it does. It also crashes constantly after windows updates or simply for the heck of it at times over time. I had mine since October and am surprised it still runs even though I expect any day now it will just die and I will have to get something else. That something else will not be THIS PC however.
