Desktop Computer I5

The i5 is more than enough. I am no computer expert, but it does everything i want and fast

I was concerned about getting an i5 processor. But this HP ENVY Desktop TE01-1165t PC is a monster. It boots up faster than my i7 Envy Laptop. It has everything I wanted and I'm very happy with my purchase.

Second Internal drive in i5 desktop PC for use as the recording workspace for Protools MP9, cubase Artist 7 and Ableton Live 8, running with cpu non-intensive IK plugins (Synth/Orch/Mastering/Amp), Komplete, etc. Everything running without a hitch out of the box and rather than breaking a fairly new computer's hard drive and continuously periodically having to either stop and start the project, program or reboot--I've been saved! God Bless B&H on the price, shipping and process that they have down pat. I could have gotten it a couple of bucks ($2) cheaper--but from whom? We are building a relationship on they do what they do and do like they say and they also have a pretty cool catalog that for me is more like a reference book! The product? A Seagate 7200 rpm 2 TB SATA?--'nuff said! It's about workflow...

Added this 8Gb stick to my new Dell 3671 I5 intel 2666 desktop. No problems or conflicts. Went from 1 stick dell 8mb to 2 sticks that are compatible. Now I have 16GB 's of Ram and a smile on my face!

My chosen configuration for the HP envy desktop is Core i5 with Nvidia 1650 GPU and 256GB solid state drive + 1TB hard disk. This is perfect for all my needs and meets all expectations: fast boot time, no discernable lag in everyday use, no crashes, can run games at high graphics settings.

Best desktop computer I had yet

Excellent compact desktop computer.

It has all the things I like on a desktop. Enjoy the speed. To sum it up. I like the computer.

Added storage drive to my desktop computer.

I was a little concerned about choosing the i5 quad core processor over the i7 that I had in my previous HP computer as I utilize a few adobe programs at a time. So far, I have no complaints with the overall speed, and can't really tell a difference. The screen is also smaller than my last which I was worried would be an issue but I honestly love the portability of this computer!  The Touch Bar is actually way cooler than I ever expected it to be, I think Mac has done a poor job of promoting its capability. And the integration with my iPhone is really awesome. They work together seamlessly and made setup a breeze as it sent a lot of data over to my computer. I was a little disappointed that it took longer to ship out than originally advertised especially since I chose to buy through B&H specifically because they had the earliest arrival date. I ultimately lost out on an entire day of work which cost me additional money, but considering the current climate, I understand and prefer to support local business over large chains. I've only had great experiences with B&H thus far. I just hope in the end this laptop outlasts my previous (also very expensive) laptop. Only time will tell.
