Dependable Easy to Use
HP desktops~Iv'e had several for home use. I wanted a new one with Windows 11. It's different. I am learning a lot about it and really enjoy it.

Wonderful New Computer!
I love my new computer! It was so easy to set up and transfer files from my old computer. In addition, there is no outgassing smell that I have experienced with other computer brands. I would highly recommend the HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-3025t!

HP Pavilion TP01-5029 desktop computer
Had it for a Month now, so far so good, no problems. It's good enough for what I use it for.

Good overall PC, hate the AI
So far I have very few complaints with this desktop. I am still getting used to where everything is located and it didn't help that my internet was down for 8 days. I am not overly fond of all the AI additions, hence the 4 stars, but that is my idiosyncrasy I suppose.

Great desktop computer
This HP Pavilion desktop is great replacement of my former windows 10 turned windows 11. I love it and I play games on it, surf the internet watch movies etc... So far I have not crashed it like I did with my previous computers; which is a first for me. I've been using HP since 1995.

The Best Home & Office Windows 11 Desktop PC.
I found this PC to be the best offering for a home/office desktop currently on the market. I am not a gamer. The applications that I typically run include MS Office running with my VBA scripts enabled, a photo RAW format processing (with AI running locally), various python scripts I use for automating of some tasks, and of course browsing the internet or talking to my friends on WhatsUp.
The Windows 11 is running very stable. The photo processing app is the most challenging for this PC because it needs a fast GPU to run fast the AI algorithms. Even without a dedicated GPU the performance is still acceptable for photo editing.
The cooling fans are exceptionally quiet. At this moment the Hardware Monitor reports that processor temperature is 32=34 degC, which is very cool. Of course nothing else is running.
HP included a bunch of USB ports in the front and back, which is great. It's nice to have an optical drive, although it is vertically oriented which makes it more difficult to snap/unsnap a disk. I wish it was installed horizontally, even at the cost of adding a couple more inches to the height. Finally, I also appreciate that the PC has both Ethernet and WiFi.
Upon receiving this PC it's taken me a few hours to customize the desktop to look more like Windows 10. I found Windows 11 splashy colors and taskbar confusing and distasteful. Next was to delete the usual bloatware that every vendor includes with the product. Sadly, not all could be removed. For example, Skype for Business and Booking are still showing with no easy way to delete. One day I will get those out as well.
As with all Windows products MS does its best to push their Edge browser on everyone. I like Chrome so I made it a default, but it's taken me some effort to make it also default browser for the search bar.
The most frustrating was to make networking work with my other desktop (Windows 10). Now I can see the shares across the LAN network. These are however, well known problems with Microsoft Windows OS, and with some luck one can find a solution on some forum somewhere on the web.
In decision process I narrowed my initial search to HP and Dell. Both reputable, good companies, with good track record on quality and customer service. This PC was going to replace an old Pavillion p7-1380t which died of old age. I eliminated Dell because their product had no Audio Out, imagine that!

Win 11 issues
The product is fine, the operating system, Win 11 stinks. It keeps opening unwanted windows if you just breathe on the keyboard.

HP Pavilion will not boot or shut down.
The Pavilion will not boot and will not shut down. I have over 40 pages documenting the attempts to correct this issue and many other issues. The double hard drives with the Windows 11 are NOT compatible. I have worked over a month downloading the HP troubleshooting and repair, as well as the Windows 11 "solutions". I have spent weeks reviewing the internet suggested solutions without any success. My other computer is a HP tower and the hard failed after 10 years of home office use. I need a simple operation with word processing, internet connection and a spreadsheet. I do NOT need a computer with a cloud connection and 46 loaded apps. I will not recommend this computer with Windows 11. We are being forced to change to Windows 11 and I am not happy.

Doing business with the HP store is GOOD business.
The Pavilion Desktop TP013055xt is a fast and good system, and HP is great to do business with, but Win 11 leaves something to be desired; NOT the fault of HP.
I had a problem shortly after install, (I goofed somewhere, obviously as instructions are minimal,) then due to a windows AUTOupdate, which can NOT be turned off, the system locked up and wouldn't let me in, MS wouldn't FIX the problem, but HP took care of it promptly, by replacing the system.
Be sure to keep a written record of ALL questions and answers. used during the install.
Windows11 IS better than 10, but the programmers made too many assumptions of what is wanted/needed, and installed some things, by default, that are difficult/impossible to turn off, (like MSNBC news;) but you can work around these things.

the HP Pavillion is a fine piece of equipment
I switched from a Dell XPS Win 10 desktop to the HP Pavillion Win 11 desktop. The Pavillion is powerful and fast. My biggest headaches in the transition involved transferring my data and applications to the new PC. With all of the offers for software trials and MS being a bit sneaky regarding default software, lots of time was taken dealing with those distractions. Maybe if I was not transferring years of data, etc., it would have been a different story. The benefits of having a SSD and a hard drive have been stated in many online sources, but exactly how to divide up the items from your old hard drive into two drives in the new PC required some scrambling and possibly some less than ideal decisions were made. An actual old fashioned owners manual listing the basic specs of the model for future reference and diagrams of the ports, USBs, power switch, etc would have been appreciated. There's something that looks like it might be a USB C down near the bottom on the front, but I have the PC on the floor and would have to crawl down there with a flashlight and a magnifying glass to be sure. If I had it on the desk as the designers must have envisioned, that wouldn't be much of an issue. Once I got my already paid for internet security software fully set up and worked through the MS diversions and complexities, the actual HP Pavillion is a fine piece of equipment. The startup time is unbelievably quick. I can't blame HP for the problems from MS.

lower quality than my previous HP PC
This PC is much lower quality than the HP PC I had to replace. The materials used to build it seem very flimsy. I hesitate to use the CD drive for fear of breaking it. I don't expect this PC to last 13 years like my previous PC.

HP cares about their customers. This is a good computer. Buy it now before the price goes up. It has a built-in DVD Writer and Wi-Fi so you are all set for Windows 11.

Light blue ink on white UNreadable
I'be had lazer burns on both retinas to prevent total blindness; however, it causes me NOT to be able see see light blue colored ink on white background. I have worked with computers since 1974 and PCs since 1990 but I cannot find a way to change the color of ink on the documents and windows to black ink on white that does not change my desktop display background to solid white. unacceptable! Also the same problem with my Windows 11 keyboard I cannot see the light blue markings on the keyboard and am constantly making keyboard mistakes. Unacceptable!!!

A Good Buy for Desktop PC Users in a Home Setting
The HP Pavilion and monitor work just great now. Had trouble understanding monitor controls vis-a-vis PC turning off and on, but resolved the issue. Also, the power switch on the tower is too small and is somewhat recessed so it's hard to depress it to turn on the PC. Wish it protruded and little bit and was larger. PC itself, with included Windows 11, is very fast, due to having both hard disk drive and solid state drive coupled with 2T memory. Windows utility features (Defender firewall/antivirus, defrag, disk clean-up, disk check) work well but are not easy to find. Took me a while to uncover them, and now all is good. Has one-year manufacturer's warranty. Shipped quickly (ordered online from HP store directly) and arrived timely in good repair.

High performance desktop
A well made product that works fantastic snd had the ultimate in storage dor me. I do a lot of Engineer work on it and have barely used the storage become there is so much. It is adept at performing with SolidWorks, Matlab, design and mechanical computer tools. I highly recommend this pc tower and it is small enough to sit under my desk and not get in the way of my legs.

DISAPPOINTED
Disappointed in the sound of audio (music) playback. Very tinny sound. I got this for this purpose and it's a let down. Should have gone w/ a Dell. My Dell laptop sounds much better. Now I'm stuck with this. Sometimes it's not wise to save a few (hundred) dollars. There should be a light that shows when the hard drive is working, power button is recessed too much, labeling of the ports are dull. Pro, your choice of connections.
