Features but not original parts or wrong specs

Device I have the features but it's not what I paid for. The CPU has been tested but the HP RAM has been replaced with ADATA branded RAM modules and the SSD is ADATA SATA 480GB not M.2 and not the advertised 512GB size. The keyboard, mouse and wireless are also from the cheapest generic brands (Mixie and Comfast), not HP. So you get an HP case with all components and accessories from other manufacturers. Just be aware that you'll likely need to replace accessories if you want a decent keyboard and mouse, and WiFi is rubbish that works on the lower end. 802.11n speeds. So expect to spend an extra $50-$75 to upgrade them. And if you want M.2 storage speed instead of SATA, you'll have to upgrade for another $60 or more. Update (01/23/2021): After using the device for a week, I am much happier with it and the upgrade from 3 to 4 stars. ADATA brand RAM and SSD work well and appear to be new parts and unused parts swapped out from other devices. CrystalDisk Info only shows 5 SSD Power Cycles. It still annoys me that the SDD was 32GB smaller and the accessories are still junk, but this device is a good deal for the price, even if you have to fork out $75 more for a better keyboard and wireless adapter . The only note I would like to add is that you should run Disk Cleanup and remove the Windows.old folder from the hard drive. It takes up over 25GB of space and is useless.
