Most Favorable Review

Great deal on a refurbished machine

HP Desktop Computer 800 G2-SFF Intel Core i5-6500 16GB DDR4 256GB SSD Intel HD Graphics 530 Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Pros: Looked like new outside and in. Plenty of USB ports. Quiet. Plenty of RAM.

Overall Review: For the price, this model provides a great combination of speed, memory, storage, and quiet operation. You wouldn't find all that plus the Pro version of Windows 10 in a new machine without paying significantly more. It was easy to open the case and verify that everything had survived shipment (and it did come sturdily packed). Setup went smoothly. Do read the specs carefully to make sure you have what you need to for network and video connections. It's designed as a business computer, so it doesn't necessarily have the same options as a model designed for home use. I had no problems setting it up, but I had checked before ordering to make sure my spare parts box had everything I would need.

Pros: * Runs a long time between charges * Charges quickly * Doesn't require a cable (plugs directly into USB-A slot)

Cons: * Hard to read in sunlight * Wrist-motion sensor doesn't always activate the display

Overall Review: I wanted an inexpensive, basic watch that would alert me to calls and messages while my Android phone was silenced. This one does the job. I didn't always notice my phone vibrating when it was in a holster; having this device on my wrist is a definite improvement. Of course, the display is not always-on. (It does have a feature that tries to detect wrist rotation and turn on the display. Sometimes it doesn't activate if you don't rotate your wrist far enough.) And it's nearly impossible to read the display in sunlight. I may trade up to a higher-end model at some point, but this is a good starter model if you're not sure whether you really want a watch that links to your phone and you don't want to invest too much upfront. I haven't made much use of the fitness-tracker features. I can say that the step counter seems reasonably accurate. At the least, it matches pretty closely the step count from Google Fit on my phone.
