We secretly tested HP’s support quality alongside its assembly and parts selection competence. This review of the HP Pavilion TG01-1160XT prebuilt shows why it’s so bad. Sponsor: be quiet!'s Silent Base 802 https://geni.us/DaGYu The HP TG01-1160XT was purchased as a PC in our $1000-$1500 price range for prebuilts. This follows-up previous benchmarks and reviews of Alienware, Dell, Lenovo, ABS, and Skytech, among others. The HP Pavilion tested was recommended to us by HP's support -- who told us we should get 32GB of RAM for gaming, for some reason, while also recommending an Intel i5 CPU and a 2060 Super. It's a bizarre combination of things that led to this build. We're still on our quest to find the best pre-built gaming PCs. So far, we've found two pretty good ones and a bunch that aren't that.
