I recently upgraded from my dated Windows 7 OS Gateway PC to this contemporary, sleek and space saving HP 22-C0023W Windows 10 computer. It packs an Intel Core i3-8100 T Processor with an x64.system type. It has 4 GB of RAM. I am very excited to give my honest, in-depth review! In any case, it's a costly investment that should last you for at least a few years. I will mention that I appreciatively received this PC for free from Spark Reviewer in exchange for my sincere opinion.
First and foremost, it's an All-in-One, meaning the tower or CPU is fully integrated into an ultra-slim monitor. It's compact, offering a clean, clutter-free work space. (It weighs around 13 lbs, making it easy to transfer.) Next, matte screen is crystal-clear with vibrant colors. It's also a touch screen for added versatility! Additionally, the elegant stand is not only beautiful, but can be tilted! The included wired keyboard and mouse are average, but can easily be upgraded. The integrated speakers offer a good sound quality. Additionally, I appreciate the slide-over feature on the web cam lens for privacy. Also, it comes with a built-in DVD drive. Keep in mind, not all PC's come with this added feature anymore. (I personally enjoy using this feature for Movie and Music DVDs still!) To my surprise, a built-in microphone is included! This feature is especially handy to use with the Windows 10 Cortana virtual assistant. Last but not least, as far as design goes, the power button and USB ports are located on the backside of the monitor. For me, it does take a little while getting used to.
After connecting the included wired keyboard and mouse, set-up took twenty minutes approximately. In my opinion, this has been the easiest set-up ever! Cortana walks you through step-by-step and listens to your verbal response and applies them. It was also nice having the option to manually type response preferences during the initial set-up. All-in-all, the set-up was fun and quick, with no issues along the way.
In summary, it's compact, the graphics are beautiful, and the speed of the PC is adequate. I absolutely love the monitor and think it's amazing, especially with touch screen capability! For fundamental computing needs, it has plenty to offer! The only minor drawback is that the CPU is not silent, but is not annoying either. Finally, I have enjoyed using this HP All-in-One and recommend it. What a difference a new PC makes! It's definitely worth looking into!
