The Desktops I Tested
The [HP Pavilion Desktop Tower TP01](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=HP+Pavilion+Desktop+Tower+TP01&tag=thetestedhub-20) is my overall pick. Good price-to-performance, easy to upgrade, and reliable through 14-hour office days.
Check price on Amazon →I run a small accounting firm and bought five HP desktops over two years for my team, so I have hands on experience with the current HP desktop lineup.

Common questions

Yes, but with limits. Mid-range Pavilion and Envy towers accept standard ATX upgrades. The slim and all-in-one models are largely sealed and not user-serviceable.
