Review on 💻 HP Pavilion Desktop TG01-2460 with E249W Processor, 1920x1080 LED HD Display by Stephen Zinni

The first thing I would like to say about this desktop is that it is a decent everyday laptop with good gaming specs. It's upgradeable, so you can install other graphics cards if you need a slightly more powerful GPU. Note, however, that space inside the computer is limited, so you won't be able to fit at the top of the line due to the sheer size. It removes the DVD drive instead of more HDD and SSD drive, which suits me (who uses more DVD drives). A minor complaint is that it only comes with 8GB of RAM, which is fine but the bare minimum right now. If necessary, you can add additional RAM. The video output is HDMI and two display ports, so you can have up to three screens if required. It handles double screening without too much trouble. I haven't tried it with 3 screens yet. I like that it has HDMI and display ports. That being said, you get good gaming performance thanks to the graphics. I can get 40-60 fps in most games I play. Unfortunately, only 20-30 fps are possible in more intensive games, but that's not bad. The processor is fine. It's just a Ryzen 3, which I think is the bare minimum for a gaming PC, but great for basic home use. This computer only has one SSD. It has a 512GB SSD and you can upgrade it or add more drives. Inside the computer there are slots for additional hard drives if required. I wish it would have given you at least one storage drive like most other computers at this price point as 512GB can fill up very quickly. There are four USB 3.0 ports and a headphone jack on the front. I love the fact that there's USB 3.0 on the front, but it's a little disappointing that there's only 2.0 on the back. You would think they would all be USB 3.0 if you plan on connecting an external hard drive to your computer long-term. It makes the cables a bit messy up front when you want more speed. It has a Type-C port on the front (NOT THUNDERBOLT) so you can wire it up for extra speed and connectivity. No internal speakers, no monitor included. The device boots fairly quickly after the initial setup. HP has a bunch of malware that's a little troublesome to get rid of. There is built-in Wi-Fi at 2.4 or 5 GHz. With USB ports on the back, I'd say it has enough USB to support a mouse, keyboard, and two other things (most likely a printer or webcam). I wouldn't recommend connecting a hard drive in the back as the transfer speed is very slow. Keyboard and mouse feel very cheap. Mouse sensitivity is terrible even for a desktop. The keyboard feels very flimsy and I don't even recommend using it. Honestly, it's better to buy different ones. Again, the malware installed on it really slows down startup and I had to get rid of it. The case itself is not bad. This is a rather small case. I would say slightly smaller than the mid tower. There's plenty of room inside, but upgrading can be a little tricky when trying to replace parts. Although the inside looks pretty clean. Cables don't roll. It gets a little noisy when using gaming mode, but that's to be expected. In general, I think this is a regular computer. It costs a bit much for the essentials. It works as expected but I think for the price it could have been a little more. Looks nice, but still has some old technology. The included keyboard and mouse are cheaper. I think if you get this you will most likely spend more to update it.
