Title: Pretty good
Review: For less than 200$, a tower, keyboard, mouse, and light up mousepad, it's actually not bad at all. i don't hate the sound of the keys, the mouse was wired and awkward to hold but did not create any friction with the mousepad, and the mousepad doesn't make my sensory issues go haywire like most do (aka material is great, and you can just run it under water to wash it without hurting the lights). Tower itself does its job alright, internal memory is 238gb but system takes up a quarter, its kinda slow especially when its full and its windows 10pro, and doesn't come with a graphics card like standard. Comes with exterior wifi dongle but not bluetooth, so no bluetooth capability. Overall its a great package deal if you're looking for a cheap home computer.

Title: all the pcs they sent were broken
Review: I bought this as my first starter pc and the first one they sent was broken when i was trying to set it up it turned off by its self twice then laid it down then it stopped turning off but the LED wire could not handle the power and the wire melted and smoked. i returned the first one and it took forever to get my refund to my account. I then bought a second one and it was working all right at first then it had internet problem. first it would keep on disconnecting and when i troubleshoot it it said that there was a problem with the DNS server not responding, then the firewall was blocking some of the apps functions, the internet was so slow and i know it wasn't my Wi-Fi because on other devices it was working fine but i restarted my modem anyways just in case. nothing i tried worked so i gave up and return it too. I'm not sure if ill buy another one of this because I'm tired of having to deal with this. they say that the computers are tested before sending them out obviously not. it is extremely inconvenient.

Title: Great PC in itself; horrible for gaming initially
Review: First, let me list why I like this desktop and why it's not too bad for its price. Though advertised as a gaming PC, the computer works completely fine as a regular everyday use desktop. I can browse the web, have multiple tabs open, and it runs relatively smoothly. However, when it comes to gaming, it really is hit or miss. I am able to play games such as minecraft, csgo, garryâs mod, even GTA V and more but on the absolute lowest settings or towards there. It runs at 30 FPS most games and can be laggy here and there when gaming, but when optimized to your PC it can run smoothly. It is a great PC overall for everyday use but for gaming be cautious, it is great as a starter or if you want something cheap to play one, but nothing beyond that. Also, limited memory makes it very difficult to download multiple games. I have to delete applications or games often to make room.8/10

Title: 1 Star Problems with a 5 Star Machine
Review: This is not a gaming PC. This is a repurposed office PC with some RGB lights added. This PC would have been at home in a call center in 2014. But, that's not a bad thing if that's what you need.Video Outs: 2x DP and 1x VGA, there is NO HDMIUSB: There are 2x USB 3.0 (1st gen) ports and 2x 1.0(?) USB ports on the front panel. There are 4x 1.0(?) USB and 2x USB 3.0 (1st gen) on the back panel.PS/2: There is 1x Mouse and 1x Keyboard PS/2 inputs on the back panel.This is an old (ten years or so) office PC that has been refurbished, had some lights thrown in, and had the HDD upgraded to a (cheap) SSD. All of the non-factory parts in this PC are dirt cheap - but functional.The mouse and keyboard (and in my case a random webcam) are USED products. They have no packaging, and mine came with fingerprints, smudges, and food(?) on them. They're also very generic - but functional.If you're thinking about getting this PC for gaming: DON'T. There is one exception which I will discuss at the end of this review. This is not a gaming PC. If the RGB lighting has fooled you, then you need to do more research before buying ANY PC.That said, this PC is excellent value for money _IF_ you know what you're doing with tech and need a PC with the specific features that make this PC a good buy.I bought this PC to replace an even older desktop PC (GT5476E). One of my relatives decided to "upgrade" it with Windows 10 a few years ago (it shipped with Vista originally), and that essentially bricked it. An elder parent (90+) used to love playing Solitaire on that PC, and I wanted something that would replace it as easily and inexpensively as possible.The Good:---While generic, the SSD and 8GB of RAM make this a snappy little light-load PC. On Windows 10 it boots up in under 15 seconds, and doesn't feel sluggish doing basic web browsing.VGA and PS/2 ports are a BOON for me, as I wanted to keep the same old trackball and keyboard (both PS/2) that the parent was used to using.---It came with a DVD RW drive, which was not advertised. I don't know if it works, but it's a nice bonus. Also a free random (used and cheap) webcam came in the box.---The PC was very well packaged without being OVER-packaged. Shipment and delivery were very fast via FedEx.---This PC was designed to be sat flat and have a monitor sit on top of it, as is common in an office setting. It does stand vertically, too (but without rubber feet). It's a nice compact form factor.I'm gonna toss the added RGB light strips into the good category, even though I turned them off immediately with the included remote and will never use them again.The BAD BAD BAD:~~~~~~YOU NEED TO WIPE AND INSTALL A FRESH COPY OF WINDOWS~~~~~~This PC claims to come with a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro... however, it is a modified version of Windows 10 that the seller has put their own software into. On the surface, this seems to be related to a built-in "support" program. However, to use that program you must connect to the internet and allow the program to make modifications to your PC. It also appears to be connected to a support company outside of the USA. I do not trust this kind of thing AT ALL and I do not recommend anyone else does, either.---The mouse and keyboard are clearly used and were not thoroughly cleaned to "like-new" standards. They're also extremely cheap and not high quality - but they work if you have nothing else.---The PC does not have built in Wi-Fi, but it does come with a Wi-Fi dongle which you can plug into a USB port if you want to use Wi-Fi. Again, I do not trust cheap third party dongles to handle the flow of all of my data to the internet, so the included Wi-Fi dongle (also used, no instructions or packaging or branding) is going straight to the trash.---This PC is being deceptively advertised as a "basic" gaming pc. It is absolutely not even a beginner level gaming PC and this is a deceptive practice to prey on parents, grandparents, and non-savvy shoppers who are trying to get a good deal for themselves or their kids. It's abusive. Tech Magnet, just call this PC what it is and don't try to deceive people with RGB and the word "gaming".Final thoughts:---For a PC that is going to be exclusively playing the Windows 7 version of Solitaire, this PC is perfect. This is the only legitimate "gaming" use this thing has.---Overall, for $120 shipped, this is a fantastic value IF it's what you need. But it probably isn't unless all you need is a web browser, windows 7/10 built-in games, word processing, and light work duties.---Tech Magnet, if you advertised this properly and didn't ship it with sketchy software included, I would have given this 5 stars. But, because of your lack of transparency regarding the unofficial software and "gaming" claims, I must give it 3 stars.

Review: Didn't get to setup this PC when it arrived due to other time demands. When I finally did set it up, everything looked good for the first 12 hours, then the system crashed. Could not get the system to reinstall, so I downloaded Windows 11 from Microsoft site and reinstalled. Setup everything again and system crashed again, unrecoverable. Reinstalled a second time and system crashed a third time. Suspected a faulty SSD drive. Installed a HDD and everything is good now. The seller used a brand of SSD, Keyboard and mouse by AQVIN that I believe is third rate. I like the HP PC but not the third party equipment.

Review: Bought about a month ago. Great computer for the price: fast browsing speeds, and can run games like Roblox, Fortnite, and GTA V from stock! A bit laggy, but I bought a cheap low profile graphics card to pair with it and it runs super smooth now!Delivery was super quick and no issues at all, everything was packed very nice (I have no pictures as I was to eager to open), wifi adapter works great!The lights are a nice touch, the keyboard is great, the mouse scroll is a little bit stiff but itâs getting better over time.Overall this computer is definitely worth it, especially for just browsing etc but itâs also a great cheap gaming computer if you donât mind a little lag! My internet isnât the best so for you from stock it might even run smoothly! It has a lot of potential.Also it does not have an hdmi port, for some reason when buying I thought it did, it doesnât, it does have VGA and DisplayPort, I bought a graphics card with an hdmi port to use with it though.Worth noting it also does not have Bluetooth connection and I had to buy an adapter to connect my controller.

Review: Light turns on once plugged in then immediately turns off. Button that operates the light doesn't work either.But most importantly the right clicker doesn't work at all.I reached out to TechDale about this issue and I received a response the next morning. 4 Stars and definitely 5 stars after receiving my new (functioning) mouse.*UPDATE* I received my new mouse today and it is fantastic!Awesome service from the TechDale team. I highly recommend purchasing anything through them.

Review: Iâm guessing that itâs a rebuild, the fan motor runs but louder than hell and sounds like an overloaded washing machine! The side panel falls off and it has to be directly connected to the modem - no wifi connection.
