5 Star for now, been 1 month since purchased. Setup was easy using the hp smart app. Everything is working as advertised. Love the duplex copy feature. This is replacing an MFP M277. This is a workhorse and faster than my old one. Colors look good, black text looks crisp. Scanning is a breeze and I like the new look. Prints Envelopes good also.

![Warehouse 13: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] [15 Discs]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/239e333f-844c-46e9-bd08-d56ff355145b.jpg)
Secret service agents Myka Bering (Joanne Kelly) and Pete Lattimer (Eddie McClintock) think they're getting a demotion when they're put in charge of a dusty warehouse in the middle of nowhere. But little do they know that the artifacts stored inside are some of the most fanciful, marvelous and magical trinkets of all time, each related to a notable historical figure - some benign like Marilyn Monroe, and some monstrous like Lizzie Borden. All 63 episodes are included in this 15-Blu-ray set with bonus extra photo blogs, gag reels, commentary tracks, behind-the-scenes featurettes and more.

The fourth chapter in the hugely successful and acclaimed action film series finds assassin John Wick (Keanu Reeves) gunning (quite literally) for the global crime consortium, the High Table. Wick challenges top member the Marquis Vincent de Gramont (Bill Skarsg~rd) to a duel, but first he'll have to fight the requisite hordes of lethal enemies, not the least of which is longtime friend Caine (Donnie Yen). With Laurence Fishburne, Ian McShane. 169 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Great Sound!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have a gen 1 HomePod and love it. I waited too long to buy another at the time and then they were no longer available. Was excited to hear about the new gen2 and I'm not disappointed. Bought 2 and paired them for some amazing sound. Siri works good as far as I can tell during this review. HomeKit works well also with these as they should. Owed about 2 months now.

With just the turn of a dial you can automatically change your resistance from 5 lbs. all the way up to 52.5 lbs of weight. No more picking up 30 different dumbbells to get the results you want, these adjustable dumbbells replace 15 sets of weights. All you need is two SelectTech 552 Dumbbells to transform your body for good.

Space Saving

Verified Purchase:Yes
Because of space constraints decided to go with these adjustable dumbbells. I like the that I can adjust the weight desired which is easy to do. For my purposes this set suits me fine. They are a little awkward to getting used to lifting because of their shape but not so much a big deal.

This is my second HP - Envy 34" computer. They both work great right out of the box despite all the negative it's been getting. Excellent resolution on the screen, plenty of connecting ports. Love that the screen can be moved up and down and tilted. Equipped enough for my needs.

Overall5 out of 5
5 out of 5A great all-in-one experience
By jtstrick
I was one of the relatively few people as I can tell that were able to order and receive this computer back in November from Best Buy when it was initially released (the limited quantity they had apparently sold out in a couple of days). This replaced my previous all-in-one HP Envy 34 Curved PC I bought new in 2015. I've had a great experience with this machine so far. No hardware or software issues new out of the box or in the two months since. Windows 11 is working well with it.
I use this computer all day, every day as both my work computer and for personal use (which includes light gaming). The 5K display is absolutely fantastic, especially the crisp images for both video/graphics as well as for reading lots of text documents, spreadsheets, PowerPoints, etc.
If you are considering the HP Envy 32 All-in-One, I tried that one as well and returned it to get this one instead. While it too was a great machine, I found that its more square-ish display ratio resulted in a screen height that caused me to have to tilt my head back uncomfortably to use the top 1/4 of the display, resulting in neck fatigue, and me somewhat unconsciously never using the full upper real-estate of the screen for that reason (which defeated the purpose of a large-format PC). The decidedly widescreen ratio of this screen is much more comfortably usable for me, with looking more left and right feeling more natural, rather than up and down. Also, the lower overall screen height gives a more usable angle for the camera in the default top center location (with the HP 32 the camera was virtually looking down in the top of my head). Being able to move the camera around to multiple magnetic attachment positions with this PC is a surprisingly useful versatility as well.
My previous HP Envy 34 could produce a fairly loud amount of fan noise when driven hard (i.e., high-resolution gaming). This PC will likely fan when pushed, but the noise level is seemingly less obtrusive. Under normal load, its imperceptible.
As another review pointed out here, the plethora of ports for connectivity is a welcomed plus. The ports in the neck of the stand are particularly convenient.
I wasn't a fan of the included HP mouse at all - too low and flat to be comfortable to use, so I immediately replaced that. I'm happy with the included keyboard, though those that prefer full stroke keys will likely need to bring their own as well.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the aesthetics, build quality, and performance of this PC and am glad that I bought it. I recommend this for persons looking for a high-end all-in-one. With the reasonably beefy hardware specs, and even offering a few upgradeable aspects, you should be able to hang on to this for at least a few pretty productive years.

I too saw this back in November 2021 when I was in the market to upgrade my old all-in-one HP Envy 34 Curved PC, I bought new in 2015. I absolutely love this new one and not sure why everyone else is having problems with it. I even upgraded the SSD drive to a Samsung 980 SSD with no problems other the bit locker which locks the SSD until it's unlocked, I had to educate myself on that. I did find it strange that shortly after I purchased this PC that it just disappeared from best buy and HP's website and still not showing up on HP's website.
I did see it on B&H Photo's website as coming soon.
But all in all, I love this PC and the new windows 11.
