This is one of many reconditioned products I have purchased from Amazon. And this desktop computer is outstanding.I did run into a couple of issues setting it up. So let me fill you in. First thing, there are 3 wireless USB adapters that must be plugged into the back of the tower. One for the wireless ability for the tower, one for the mouse and one for the keyboard. I found the wireless adapter for the mouse inside the battery compartment.The next issue I ran into is the keyboard was defective. It took some time for me to figure that problem out. My monitor screen, on whatever website I was on, kept flickering with a yellow cursor box everywhere. It acted like a virus was in the computer. Yet, thanks to Gemini, he helped me diagnose the issue. A defective keyboard really didn't matter to me, I had all the parts I needed to hook up two towers to one keyboard, one mouse and one monitor.The photo on Amazon's description of the rear of the tower is not accurate. I have attached a photo so you can see the rear. Just know that the output for a monitor is a display port. So, I had to order an adapter that converted display port to HDMI. This is a very inexpensive part that works great.My current desktop is Windows 7. I have had this tower since Windows 7 was released. So changing to a Windows 11 tower was frighting to me. Well, let me tell you this. Windows 11 is awesome. Very intuitive and takes some time to get to where want to go. Mainly because it looks nothing like Windows 7. I found the best thing for me was to PIN the most used features along the bottom of the toolbar. The setup was super easy. Although when it wants you to choose a PIN number for Microsoft, that number is the lock code number you enter every time to open your desktop . DON'T FORGET THIS NUMBER!Last thing, this is a full size tower. Not a compact. Full size!It works great, and it is super fast. I hope this information helps. Enjoy, this computer is worth every penny, I absolutely recommend it 👌.

First of all, this is a refurbished PC. You need to know about PCs if you’re going to order one of these. When I opened the box I heard something metallic rattling around inside the PC’s case. This didn’t worry me as it’s common with refurbished units.The rattle was a PC back slot cover that had come loose, and it was a little tough getting it out from underneath the motherboard. If I hadn’t gotten it out it would have shorted out the computer as soon as I turned it on! Like I said, you have to know about these things.The PC is an HP ProDesk 600G4 tower desktop. Came with 32GB of RAM, a 1TB SSD, DVD burner, a power cord, an adequate (but kinda crappy) keyboard and mouse, and ten various USB ports front and back (including 1 USB-C). CPU is an Intel i7, OS is Windows 11. Please note that the only connection for the monitor is a Display Port, not HDMI. You can buy a DP to HDMI adapter very cheap.The description implied it had both WiFi and Bluetooth built-in but it doesn’t. They threw in a new USB WiFi dongle but it was only 2.4GHz. I purchased a USB Bluetooth dongle for only $14 here on Amazon. Please note that since these are from a refurbished lot your configuration may vary, but it should be close.Booting into Windows 11 was a little tricky because it required an Internet connection and you can’t setup WiFi until Windows boots. I plugged in a wired cable and it booted up fine. The USB WiFi dongle worked fine too, but I replaced it with a 5GHz one (which also worked).I’ve used every version of Windows since 3.0 in 1990 (and DOS before that) and I was a little concerned about using Windows 11, but it’s actually quite good. If you know Windows 10 you’ll adapt to 11 quickly. It is easier to use and more refined.Overall the PC is very fast, has immense storage, and great connectivity. As long as you know a little something about PCs (or know someone who does) buying one of these refurbished ones is a great value.

It won't work, the hdmi, USB and other jacks in the back aren't even full jacks. The only one you can use is the USB plug-ins, the insert to guide the plugs in isn't even there, just a bare connector. The VGA port works somewhat, you can plug something in but there is no signal to it. I'm beginning to think it wasn't even a complete computer tower. .

First one shipped fast but was lost by the carrier. Not the seller's fault. Seller promptly sent out another one and it arrived pretty quickly. Upon inspection, I could definitely tell it was refurbished (renewed). It was wrapped in some sort of black tape, I guess to hide any blemishes on the outside of the unit. It was also missing a lock screw for the side access panel. Not a big deal for me but you may want to consider that if you want yours to look more like new. However, I do love it's performance. Takes anything I throw at it and runs like a champ! That 8th Gen I7 processor and 32gb of RAM really does make a performance difference. Windows 11 Pro works great.If you are using an older monitor, Windows 11 may not support it. My 13 year old HP monitor would not work with it unless I greatly reduced the resolution. I had to buy another monitor (after 13 years, it was probably time anyway). Additionally, it only has display port monitor outputs. If you use an HDMI monitor, you will need a display port to HDMI adapter (cheap on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MTKHFKR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1). May want to order one (or 2 for multiple monitors) if you order this computer.Overall, a very nice computer with excellent customer service. I recommend it if you are not too worried about the way it looks but like fast performance.
