Our take on the HP Pavilion Desktop Tower 590-p0033w

The HP Pavilion 590-p0033w is a compact silver tower built around an Intel Pentium Gold processor with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive. It handles browsing, office work, streaming and light multitasking, and the smaller chassis leaves more desk room than a full-size tower. The trade-offs are clear: a spinning hard drive instead of an SSD, integrated graphics only, and a modest processor. Owners rate it around 3.5 out of 5, with praise for setup and everyday speed and complaints about slow boot times and limited upgrade room.
