I'm done with cramped laptops and 13th gen i5 isn't that much faster than 12th

If you read the specifications, it says this item does not include a HDD...only the SSD Clearly a conflict between the item title and the specs.

If you read the 3-Star and 1-Star reviews, there is a repeated trend that buyers do not receive the unit visually pictured.

Too many errors with this listing.

Based on the specs, this is an awesome productivity desktop. I didn't read into the reviews or possible conflicted info in the description. But $400 for an i5-based PC and with 16GB of RAM (rather than the more typical 8GB on budget PCs), it is the FP level deal.

That's what I thought. Everyone wants RGB and gaming stuff but just for a fast reliable small form factor this is a good PC

According to Q&A:

HP Team Grant
· 11 months ago
Yes, This includes support for 4096×2160 at 24 Hz, 3840×2160 at 24, 25, and 30 Hz, and 1920×1080 at 120 Hz. These are the max resolutions and refresh rates. Individual performances may vary.

The 4K refresh rate isn't as good as I hope for.

Good price as long as you are using this for general office or school tasks and streaming video. The limitations are the integrated UHD graphics and the power supply of 180W. You won't be able to add any decent video card (you could probably add something like the Arc A310 graphics card, which has 4 GB, no auxiliary power connector required, power draw of 30W – cpu only has a TDP of 65W to 117W, so it might work with the 180W power supply).

But that's another $100+ dollars. So if you need a lot of work with graphics or video, pay an extra $200 or so and get a laptop or desktop with a dedicated gpu.
