What Buyers Say
HP ProDesk 600 G6 2025, Core i5-10400, 16GB, 512GB SSD, Black
This HP desktop receives mixed feedback. Many verified buyers praise its lightning-fast boot speed, quiet operation, and excellent value for office tasks and photo/video editing. However, several users note that the display ports are not HDMI (requiring an adapter), the stock CPU cooling runs hot under load, and most components are proprietary, limiting upgradeability. One unit arrived dead on arrival, and the integrated GPU is considered too weak for gaming beyond basic titles.
