I have wanted this unit for some time, and was finally able to get it at an excellent price during the Black Friday sale. It provides excellent backup for my new PC and new monitor, and their external drives. My equipment has relatively low power draw, and I get almost an hour of run time when losing power, which is more than sufficient to backup crucial files, and power everything down safely.

This monitor is my first 4K monitor, and it gives me absolutely stunning images. I am using it with Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop elements., and it is well paired with them. I thought I might be overwhelmed by the size of the screen, coming from a 15" screen on a laptop - but I very quickly got accustomed to it, and find myself doing all my editing using my new monitor.

This machine is impressive. It is very well made - with a very pleasing exterior, and a very clean and well laid out interior. It provides more features at this price point than you can find elsewhere. For example - it gives two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, and a USB C port on the front! The engineering is well thought out. For example, the memory is two paired 4GB sticks, to optimize throughput. The machine is snappy and does the jobs it was designed for very well. One thing to take note of is that the machine is not designed for high end gaming, and really can't be upgraded to do so - it has a 180W interior power supply and a proprietary motherboard. But it does all the tasks characteristic of a home pc very well, and somewhat beyond. I am doing photo editing using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Elements, and they work very well. I have paired the PC with a 28" Samsung 4K monitor, and the images are stunning. For the price, you won't find a better machine anywhere.

Im 82, and unsure of computers. Is this wireless? And also too, if this will support playing POGO games? I also play roller-coaster tycoon. I have a disc for that. Will this work as well? Thank you
This laptop has wifi, and it works well. It does not have
a built in dvd drive, so you would need to get an external
usb dvd drive to use your disc. It should be able to play
games that are not too demanding on the computer.

Intelligent performance and trusted tech for your most demanding tasks.

Equipped with the latest ports, powerful Intel Core processor with built-in AI technology, plenty of storage, and reliable Wi-Fi technology for fast and stable connections, it effortlessly handles critical daily tasks and powers up your everyday work and play.
Can the RAM be expanded from 16GB to 32GB? What type of memory can be used?
There is a second, unoccupied slot for another stick of RAM. Care must be taken, however, to use RAM that is recognized by this pc. I found Crucial to work. The RAM needs to match the speed of the existing stick, and it must be DDR5.

What motherboard does this have and can I install a discrete GPU like Nvidia 5060 or AMD 5060 on this?
This pc uses a proprietary motherboard made by HP.
You will not be able to install a GPU like the 5060, as it requires additional power that the power supply here can not provide, nor the special power supply cable. You can use a low power card that runs on the large pcie slot in the computer. I have successfully installed an RTX 3050 with 6GB GDDR6 ram - it is the version with a cap of 70W power draw.

Can multiple monitors be hooked up?
There is an HDMI port on the back of the computer. There is also a Display Port connection that can be used to connect a second monitor. If that monitor does not have a Display Port connection, a cable or adapter can be used to complete the connection.

Not counting CPU fan, how many case fans are there?
There are no case fans in this pc. The left side panel (the removeable one) is heavily perforated, providing static air flow into the pc. The cpu fan also provides cooling air flow to the solid state drive, which is inside the shroud surrounding the cpu.

Can you program a wattage limit? I can’t have an appliances exceed 1000 watts where I live
The wattage used increases with the set temperature, and also with the speed of the fan (which can't be set).
