Works fine with Ubuntu as advertised

I ordered this because I needed an Ubuntu box for my daily desktop work and didn't want to buy an unnamed mini pc nor spend a lot of money on a new one automobile. Yes, it's refurbished, but it gets the job done and has the same benchmarks as the last-gen Celeron. It came with a wireless dongle that worked without any problems. It also came preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro, which I activated and then reinstalled to make sure the activation was "stuck". After that I erased the SSD and installed Ubuntu on it. The SSD was a SATA model, which suited my needs quite well. I can use the M.2 slot for additional storage in the future. Even though the warranty has long expired, HP still has the latest firmware updates for it that can be installed without any problems. I installed them on Windows because it's the easiest way before reinstalling the OS. In general? This was intended for a business class desktop. It has TPM functionality and remote access functionality. everything an IT department needs. Definitely worth the money for what I use it for. Will he be able to run Crysis in the highest resolution? nope However, for everyday mail/web and stuff like Vagrant it does the job well. Works as advertised, definitely five stars.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Was damaged
