HP Elite Desktop Computer, Intel Core i5 3.1GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB SATA HDD, Keyboard & Mouse, Wi-Fi, Dual 19in LCD Monitors (Brands Vary), DVD-ROM, Windows 10, (Renewed)

My 11 year old was a to assemble this computer! Everything was easy for him to set up (he wasnt supposed to be setting it up. He did a great job though) In the midst of it all...I had to contact the seller about the 2 monitor set up. The seller immediately responded with all my questions and asked if I needed anything replaced or help with setting up. I was very impressed with his quick response and actions. He automatically set out a connector for the dual screens. I have never had 2 screens and was unsure about how to set them up. I had also shown. Computer professional the computer that I received and his response was "that is a really good computer. You cant go wrong paying only 230.00 for that because it is a good system". It is. The kids use it for roblocks....whatever it's called. I use it for school and a lot of detailed research. I am really happy with the computer. It so arrived in half the estimated shipping time! I will get another computer from this seller in the future. I almost paid 3x that amount buying a new one that does the exact same things as this one does! It has built in bluetooth as well for wireless connections if desired. The software works great. The monitors are the same rand and size and model. Really good deal. I am happy I bought it and will be a repeat customer.

When purchased this computer a few short years ago, everything was fine. Even thought I was under the impression that I was buying a complete HP computer set. When I received the computer my monitors were Dell and the CPU was HP. I understand that when you buy anything used its not going to be original parts sometimes, but at least let it be the same brand or be more forthcoming about what a person is actually going to get or update the info in your advertisement. You will be shocked to know that consumers actually do appreciate transparency.About a year after owning one of the cords or the monitor started acting wonky. I started taping the cord down to the monitor, that seemed to do the trick. Now the cord is inoperable. At first I thought it was the monitor that was messing up so I took that same cord and put it on the other monitor ( the computer set came with 2 Dell monitors E1909Wb- which I found out during this process are discontinued by Dell) I got the same results. Trust that was a load off I really did not want to replace my monitor.So basically wrapping things up and getting to the point the power cord in question is the I-SHENG UL E315167. If you have a Dell E1909Wb monitor please don't purchase that cord. If you are searching for a replacement cord for you're Dell E1909Wb monitor please I highly recommend that you use Volex E84516. I am not a sponsor for either companies. I just like to help.

At first glance, this appeared to be a great deal. I was in need of a new desktop computer to work from home, and I did not think I needed a brand new computer. I made my purchase in March 2019, set everything up, and use the computer primarily for wordprocessing and leisurely Internet browsing. I would receive intermittent operating errors, but the computer appeared to drive onFast forward to April 2020. I am now working from home due to the coronavirus outbreak, and this computer has completely stopped working. Speaking to a friend who is an actual computer scientist, he tells me that the problem with the computer is irreversible and would require hardware changes that exceed the current value of the sum of the box that now sits on my computer. He recommends I just junk it and buy a new one.Here are my two cents about this item, the company that sells it, and buying a refurbished computer in general: if you buy cheap, you will buy twice. If I could go back to a year ago, I would have just invested in a quality desktop computer from a reputable manufacturer because now I am having to do that anyway. At least the two monitors I got with the computer and working for now, right?

First off I'm super happy with my purchase. Shipping was faster than expected and I like the fact that they ship FedEx. The entire system arrived in 1 big box that must of weighed 50 pounds or more. The box was banged up but the contents inside were safe.As I pulled the components out of the box I noticed that the two Dell monitors were different models and sizes (one was square and the other rectangular). I thought I wasn't going to like this arrangement, but I continued the unboxing anyway. Included in the package were 3 power cords, two sets of monitor cables (one RGB and the other HDMI), and a WiFi adapter (all packaged individually). The USB keyboard and mouse were also packaged in their respected boxes. The HP Elite computer was at the bottom covered with heavy duty bubble wrap. No installation instructions were provided, but an Amazon Certified Refurbished warranty card with the suppliers support email and phone number was tossed in the bottom of the box.The overall condition of my computer system is good. The computer and both monitors have minor blemishes but nothing major, and the keyboard and mouse appear to be new. The installation was a snap; hooked up the monitors, keyboard and mouse to the computer, plugged in the WiFi adapter and powered up the system. Everything booted up and worked as it should, but I did have to access the display settings to configure the dual monitors. There are tons of videos on YouTube on how to setup dual monitors in Windows 10 if you need help. The WiFi signal was super strong and everything worked perfectly, however, a watermark from Microsoft appeared on the lower portion of one of the screens letting me know that Windows 10 is installed but not activated. Everything worked fine with the non-activated version of Windows 10 except some of the personalizing options were not available. I needed an activation code and didn't know where to get it so I emailed customer support. I wasn't expecting an immediate reply, but to my amazement, I received an email from the technical support department the very next morning. The email instructed me to look around the computer case for a Windows sticker which will have the activation code printed on it. Sure enough the sticker was there and so was the activation code. I was able to activate Windows without any issues and everything is working great so far.After working with this computer for a few days, I have grown fond of the miss-matched monitors. I use the square monitor for viewing legal size documents and other work related tasks because it has more real estate than comparable size rectangular monitors so I see more of what I'm working on the screen without having to scroll. The rectangular monitor is perfect for viewing YouTube videos and movies on Netflix. Again, I am very pleased with my purchase and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product and supplier to my friends.
