HP Pro Tower 290 G9 Business Desktop, 12th Gen Intel 4-Core Processor (Beats Core i7-9700), 16GB RAM, 256GB PCIe SSD + 1TB HDD, 2-Monitor Support 4K, DVD-RW, HDMI, VGA, Wi-Fi, Windows 11 Pro, Black

Easy to set up. Handles what I need just fine. I often have two or more windows open at a time no problem. I do play games and thought I needed a gaming computer but turns out I was wrong; this one does all I need.

works like it shouldI know that sounds simplified, but that is exactly what you expect.

The computer was easy to setup. The CD/DVD external drive is VERY cheaply made. The computer does not have a card reader which I use all the time. I have an external drive made by HP and it is very well made. I had to order a separate card reader to meet my needs.

This computer is very fast, it copies files extremely fast and it's totally silent compared to my old W10 pc.The set up was very quick, took maybe 10 minutes to do but the automatic updates took another 20 minutes and it automatically saw my wifi connection right away. The only thing I found that I didn't like about it is the quality of sound, I'm using my old W10 speakers where the quality was much better. I did install FxSound and that fix the sound quality, it's now better than my W10. Overall I'm very happy with this pc, it's a nice pc for it's low price.

This tower fits my needs very well. I'm a long-time HP customer and have never been disappointed. All my hardware, some of it old, works without a hitch. I'm glad for the 8 USB ports, as I have a number of peripherals. The external DVD player that's included works very easily and well.

My dissatisfaction is directed at the seller and Amazon for misrepresenting the product as new. Like another commenter, when I submitted the serial# information as part of the product registration process, HP showed the product warranties as taking effect on 12/31/24. I ordered the product on 6-15-25, received the unit on 6-16-25 and immediately attempted to register it using another computer. HP Warranty Status showed that the Three-Month Warranty for Setup Assistance had already expired, and the Twelve-Month Hardware Warranty only had 6 months remaining. Obviously, someone else had possession of this computer and registered it six months before it was sold to me as new. NOT ACCEPTABLE!I had purposely checked the FAQ's for the product before purchasing to be sure that I was buying a new product rather than a used or refurbished product. There was a Q/A that explicitly said it was new and not refurbished or used.I immediately contacted Amazon for assistance and they said they would contact the seller and I should expect a response withing 48 hours. We'll see how that goes. If the warranty issue can be resolved by restoring the full manufacturer's warranty periods, I will fire up the computer, test it, and update my review.

Works great replace my old HP that lasted for 10 years. Hopefully this one will go as long.

So far, I am so happy with the new computer. Still figuring out windows 11.
