Perfect for what I need….
To put it simply, it works. And it works very well actually. While it’s far from being a powerhouse with a recent generation of processors, it’s still a very capable system. All of my software installed without issue, activation of Windows 10 pro went perfect without issues. I have absolutely no complaints. I’m planning on buying a couple more for my store front as it will work great for a POS and the others will be operating my wide format printer and also my vinyl plotter. It’s just a simple pc usable for a wide range of applications. Well worth it’s price.

Wakes up in 6 seconds
It wakes up in 6 seconds! Installing an SSD was complicated by a HD error. A disk utility fixed the HD. Fixing the HD, and worrying about returning the computer cost it a star.Overall, it was an excellent value. The computer was $179. The SSD, cable, and DP-HDMI converter cost $46. I added two monitors. It is a nice setup for your average user or developer. I am glad I have it.I added an SSD:Crucial BX500 240GB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD – CT240BX500SSD1ZMonoprice 18-Inch SATA III 6.0 Gbps Cable with Locking Latch and 90-Degree Plug – BlueNeeded these to connect to 2 HDMI monitors:DP to HDMI Adapter [3-Pack], CableCreation 1080P Gold Plated Displayport to HDMI Converter Male to Female 1.3V BlackGood $20 speakers:Creative Pebble 2.0 USB-Powered Desktop Speakers with Far-Field Drivers and Passive Radiators for PCs and Laptops (Black)

Mine wasn’t as pristine as others
After reading all of the feedback and seeing a few pics showing how pristine these refurb PCs were, I decided to buy this.Unfortunately, for me, my PC looked very used, and had significant scratching on the top of the case.The packing was nowhere near as nice as the ones pictured in the feedback pics, and the keyboard and mouse were obviously used, with the keyboard having broken bits rattling around inside of it.Functionally, the PC works very well so far. As others have said, the price is worth the Windows 10 cost alone. In my opinion Windows is a terrible product, but I need Windows for my work, and this PC is the fastest Windows PC I have ever used. After logging in from a cold start, the PC pretty much responds right away.Other budget Windows PCs I have owned previously always seemed to struggle for several minutes after log in.A few other things:My DVD drive took a DVD and “died”, wouldn’t eject or read the disc. Showed up fine in “Device Manger” and all the usual troubleshooting showed everything “functioning properly” (seems some things about Windows never change!) I popped open the case and re-seated the connectors on the DVD drive and the DVD drive began functioning normally again. No big deal!There’s no Wi-Fi on board, so bring your own.It has two DisplayPort outputs which is very nice, drives my 4K monitor very well.It is very quiet.Uh, I was under the impression that “Windows 10 Pro” would have Office on board? Maybe I have been out of the Windows game, but this PC didn’t have Office on board, but had an Office App that sends you to a cloud for Office programs. I didn’t try it, we have that at work and I HATE IT. Docs can be very laggy. It seems the vendor includes “Libre Office” so you’ll have on-board “Office”. I use it on my Linux PCs, so I am OK with that.Overall, the PC is a good deal. I am just a bit bummed that mine wasn’t as excellent as everyone else’s. But I am still happy with the price/value ratio.

Larger unit than expected. Very Clean. Mouse, keyboard, computer power cord, wifi USB included.
The product dimensions list the unit as 14x3x10. However, as measured it is 15x4x13.5. Keep this in mind if trying to fit into a specific space. The unit is very clean, almost like new. I was able to boot from a LInux Mint CD and the specs for the CPU and RAM are as stated in the description. Mint detected my wifi dongle immediately. Secure boot is enabled so will need to disable or work around if use operating systems other than Windows. However, can be more secure for Windows users. Comes with a wired keyboard and mouse, a power cord for the computer, as well as a wifi USB. A nice touch! Overall a good buy, it was just much larger than I expected. Will update this review if I encounter any issues after putting the unit into daily use.

New like and works great!
The shipment came on time well packed, and the computer is new like in appearance. It is excellent for regular use including design work, fast Internet, and fast file transfer. I do not play games so cannot speak for that. As long as you are OK with a desktop computer there is no reason to spend more. Seller caring for customer satisfaction and done their due diligence which is a plus. I strongly recommend this product and company.I love the USB WI-FI feature to disconnect the Internet the way the computer cannot be invaded by 3rd party as certain programs assure getting into any computer as long as there is Internet signal nearby and the computer is equipped to receive. I suffer abuse for the past three years, so now problem solved the old fashion way at least partially, or I though. Just learned that a simple wireless USB device such as computer mouse was enough to invade, but can learn my way around it. The computer is great, but Internet security programs and VPN are just playing real games.
First order was damaged second order is late. –
Great value!
Arrived quickly, easy to set up, was an economical life-saver when my desktop presented the “blue screen of death”. This company pays attention to detail when they rebuild, highly recommend!

WILL NOT DECODE THE PIN UPON STARTUP!!
Keyboard works fine as does the mouse BUT the cursor just SITS THERE & DOES NOTHING !!There are times I have to left click the mouse JUST TO GET THE CURSOR BLINKING AGAIN!!To GET AROUND this MAJOR problem, I MUST pretend to have FORGOTTEN MY PIN (Thus prompting a text message, email or whatever to be sent with a code so I can “Reset” my PIN (I just re-enter the same one) & unlock my PC** THIS MUST BE FIXED **

CERTIFIED refurbished = good quality
never thought id buy a refurbished electronic..especially a PC! but i have to say, im quite pleased. it looks brand new and works really good. the only 2 drawbacks, was that it has a disc drive but no CD burner (which only costed $10 from my PC guy)…and for some reason, every so often ill go to log on n my mouse or keyboard wont work..so i have to switch usb ports, then it works fine again…the windows 10 alone practically pays for the whole PC!..i would recommend, especially for those on a budget but still want quality!
John Flickinger –
AMAZING VALUE!
Totally amazing. Fast, works perfectly, bare copy of Windows 10, great processor, memory and a DVD drive. I did replace the HDD with a cloned SSD before personalizing. Powers up in 3 seconds ready for PIN. Totally perfect desktop replacement for $92! Less than a copy of Win10!

Awesome computer for the money
As far as gaming, I don’t game so I can’t really speak to that, although it’s unlikely to be a good gaming system based on what it is. Tech support was not needed so, once again, can’t really add anything there. Only “complaint” I have is that the wi-fi is not on-board or built in, it’s a USB add on. Not a deal breaker since I will be hard wired to the router anyway. Mouse and keyboard that came with it are low-end but work. Have been replaced with wireless already. Powered right up, after a short set-up was working fine. Does not come with much on it (PERFECT!!) so no bloat-ware and free trial stuff. DVD drive, sound, Ethernet, display drivers, everything works fine. Opened it up for a look inside, very clean, looked brand new inside actually. Almost silent on start-up and running. Loaded what I wanted onto it and so far have had no issues with anything. Not a powerhouse system, but perfect for what I needed it for and very happy so far.

great office machine but plays games too
Reasonably powerful intel I5 with built in graphics, 500 gig harddrive and dvd drive. should be great for office/internet browsing and can play quite a few modern games. came well packaged including a wifi adapter, keyboard and mouse (wired). quick delivery. Comes with Windows 10 fresh install.

Does what it needs to do!
This was bought for a person to use in light web browsing, correspondence, and other home-related tasks. It is more than adequate for those purposes. I don’t know about gaming.

this HP ProDesk 600 G1 desktop is a decent value despite being mfd in 2013
Purchased April 2022: this HP ProDesk 600 G1 desktop is a decent value despite being mfd in 2013. Both the mouse and the keyboard that were included were badly beaten up in the shipment and the mouse was all in pieces. And the 500 GB Toshiba hard drive was showing signs of failure so I replaced it with a small SSD. After installing the SSD it was a suitable computer for my purposes but far from being a gaming computer. Additionally, this old i5 CPU is supposed to lose Microsoft support as of 2025. Oh and another plus was a small USB 2.4GHz Wi-Fi dongle that allowed me to use my home Wi-Fi to connect the computer rather than having to hardwire it.

Very good for a really good price
I had bought this for my husband and he loved it the graphics are good on its speed is good. I gave it four stars because I had to get a hold of the seller since it did not come with a power cord and DVD like it was described on the website. But they were very very quick about getting back to me and they sent me both Within a week I am very pleased.

Product is great! Seller is awesome!!!
Very pleased with my purchase of the HP Prodesk 600. I did have a small hiccup. I reached out to the seller and he immediately rectified my dilemma. The product was purchased to surf the web and stream content, I am very satisfied with this purchase. I would use this seller again because he does what he says he would do!

Like a new PC
Put this into service a month ago as a backup server and it’s been working great. It is NOT loaded up with a bunch of bloatware. Just W10 Pro and a few utilities.I’ve ordered a 500 GN SSD to clone the system drive to and a 4TB NAS drive to replace the existing sustem drive for data storage. Also am upgrading to 16GB. Total investment $300.Very pleased for this application.
KidKid –
Just what I needed for my 1up arcade cabinet!
Upgraded this thing with 4 tb, moved the os to a 250gb ssd and upgraded the ram up to 16gb. This thing supports MAME, retroarch (gba, gc, atari, dreamcast, gamecube, n64, and more!), Xbox, wii, ps1 with zero lag! You don’t even need a graphics card upgrade.

good PC for low $
Satisfied because it’s a cheap $160-170 PC.I had very low expectation.Other than minor scratches here and there, so far the PC is very functional.Just note that it does not have built in wifi and the media cable is DP (not HDMI).

My First Desktop in a Long While!
Happy with the product – and it was very easy on my budget! When there was a problem with the keyboard the seller promptly sent out a new one. Great service! The only issue I seem to have is with the camera (didn’t seem to be a driver for that or was not recognized when I tried to download); fortunately, I can use my laptop for online meetings 🙂

use this to stream shows. Works great. 4 stars because it should be clearer that you need to add bluetooth display adaptation and wifi. I added them but a casual user might miss it.
Kindle Customer –
So far, so good.
I usually wait for a few weeks before giving a review on something like this to make sure there are no issues. Typically if a computer like this will run trouble free 24×7 for a couple of months, it will usually run with no issues for years, but the vendor seemed anxious for feedback, so here is an initial review. I don’t give higher than four stars on an initial review. As with some other reviewers, I have two-three decades of professional computer hardware, operating system and software experience, though I am recently retired.Condition – I did not open it up to look inside yet, but the outside is in very good condition. There were no obvious signs that it is used.Functionality – I run Linux, but started it up in Windows to make sure it booted, DVD worked, NIC worked, USBs worked, speakers worked, etc. Everything that I tried was functional. I immediately reloaded it with Ubuntu 18.04 and it recognized all of the peripherals. The built in speaker is quite weak and tinny, but plugging my speakers into the speaker port on back solved that. There is virtually no fan or HDD noise which is nice. I am replacing an ancient, noisy Dell Optiplex with this computer and that old computer was noisy. Of course this computer significantly outperforms the old one. The benefits of running Linux mean that I could run that old Dell for a few more years and it would get the job done, but the HDD was getting noisy and slow, so it was probably going to die soon.Configuration – I like to stand these up like a tower to save desk space and the configuration is a bit awkward for doing so, since the DVD player will be vertical when I do this. I knew that when I bought it, though, so no points off for that. It is so small, that I may use it as designed. The small size is a definite plus.Peripherals – The keyboard is cheaply made but probably works fine. I prefer backlit keyboards, so had no intention of using the keyboard that came with it and did not even try it. The mouse is a right handed mouse and I am left handed and also have RSI from years of typing, so will use one of my ambidextrous mouses. Guessing most folks will eventually want to get a new mouse and keyboard or use an existing one, but the ones that come with the computer probably work fine if you are not picky. The computer has the advertised peripherals, CPU, memory size and HDD size.Packing – It was very well packed in a sturdy box with padding.My old desktop I bought used from Walmart and it was probably new 8-10 years ago but fine for email, web surfing, genealogy, photo editing, desktop publishing, etc. My normal uses will put no strain on this new computer and I expect it to be good for another 5-10 years if the are no hardware failures.Very satisfied with this purchase. If I was a Windows user, I would have been disappointed that no OS rescue DVD accompanied the computer, which is my only negative, so far. I will revisit this review in 6-12 months.

Arrived in perfect condition.
I use a Gigabyte low profile GTX 1650 OC in this and it runs like a dream. Playing Halo Infinite at 60fps.Also it helps to grab an SSD. I just unhooked the CD burner to power the SSD since I don’t use it. With an adapter you could run both.It’s tight in these SFFs so just plan accordingly. They make amazing sleepers though.
