This a great mid-range computer with up to date requirements.  16G ram, 512 memory, 10th gen Intel i5, and all the goodness of new Windows 10.  It starts almost immediately, in seconds.  It's not overloaded with useless apps, so not much to remove.  There is McAfee antivirus but it's not activated.  So in 1 month I'm not going to get annoying pop - ups asking me to pay for it.It's the first time I've had touch screen.  I didn't think I needed it, and probably wouldn't except that I am not teaching a graphic design class and the touch screen is very helpful.  Instead of using the mouse pad to draw I can use the screen, which is more accurate.  I wish the screen laid flat for tablet mode so that I could draw more easily.  but, hey, I didn't know I needed it and HP would most likely charge more for that.Only one complaint.  The construction wasn't well thought out.  The keyboard sits in a tray so there is a bezel around it.  It is constantly scratching at my wrists as I type.  Look carefully at the picture you can see that the silver underneath wraps up around the black keyboardUPDATE: 2 months into owning this computer and I'm still impressed by the speed.  Still hating the construction of the computer.  It's cheaply built but I'm ok with that because the inside is awesome.  I also found that the mic seems to be directional.  Doing a lot of virtual now and I find if I'm not directly in front of the computer, people say they can't hear me.  I think it needs an external mic.  The screen quality can be better.  The image isn't fantastic, but good enough for my liking. For $550, I'm still loving it!
