Decent computer with some issues to be considered

Verified Purchase:Yes
The PC works fine so far. I had to return the first one because I was given the wrong model. That is on Best Buy since they picked the PC for me. It was on sale and the sale had ended but Best Buy not only honored the sale price - they ordered the computer for me. Good on Best Buy. My issue is with HP. The power supply in this computer is proprietary. Which means if the power supply goes out - it will cost $248 to replace it with a power supply that supplies 180 watts. If you want to add a video card - you are out of luck. There are alternative power supplies according to HP to upgrade this to even 300 watts. So that means there are no video cards that can be used with this machine because none will run on 180 watts. I am not talking about some gaming video card - I mean literally there are no video cards can be used in this machine. That is not good but it is HP not Best Buy who made that decision. I bought it for 499 so it was a very attractive price - but it is a shame that it was disabled like this. Oh well, like I said it works fine for now and I don't game - but 3 monitors is out of the question now.

Might have been an operator problem but I could not get my airpods to sync to the device when it was plugged into my tv. Worked reasonably well when I connected it to my computer but not the TV. So I had to take it back

I love the airpods. So does my wife. They work great and charge up quickly. The bluetooth always works and you are not having to do much of anything to sync with with your phone or ipad. This pair was actually a gift for a young friend and she was thrilled with them.

the drive is easy to install and fast as the wind. be sure to download the samsung magician software before you buy the drive. sometimes they "run out" and you have to use an older version if you can't wait until the next day. crazy I know but it happened to me

Airpods are the gold standard for headphones. They stay in your ears and are relatively comfortable. Best feature is that they practically install and uninstall themselves. And the storage & charging system works great, too.

Are you saying definitively a standard-sized ATX power supply can't be used to have a better video card other than something similar to a Radeon 550? HP's site indicates: "One PCIe x16 socket (for discrete graphic card)." That implies no limitation.
Yes. The limitation is not the PCIe slot, the limitation is the power supply. Not good I know but that is what I have learned. You might be able to use an external video card but you will have to do some hacking to get another video card in. The wiring is not standard.

What kind of monitor connection is there on this model? We have an older computer that doesn't have a VGA connection but some other kind of weird one that I've only seen on this particular computer. Would like to use the monitor with this computer...
the PC has HDMI and VGA. If you monitor doesn't have VGA or HDMI it has a digital input called DVI. There are a couple of different DVI ports so google it and see if you have the single or the dual dvi input on your monitor. You can buy an adapter to hook the monitor up to the HDMI port on the computer - just make sure you know which DVI port your monitor has.

Can I put a MSI GeForce GTX 1050 video card in here or is the case to small to fit one?
No you cannot put any video card in this computer. There is a slot for one but the power supply cannot support a video card of any sort. Further bad news is that the power supply is proprietary and so you can't simply replace the power supply and add a video card. I had no idea about this until after I bought it and contacted HP. Don't even ask about how horrible the customer service is at HP these days. Sell your stock - they are out of business but don't know it yet. They better be selling the heck out of printers.
