Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was very good. Tasks like email, word processing and web browsing will be accomplished quickly and you can even accomplish tougher tasks like video editing and mid-range gaming near top speed. The sound on movies, music, and games was acceptable with the built-in speakers, but if you're looking for the best sound you might want to add speakers or use headphones.
Ergonomics: The keyboard, mouse, labeling, and LED indicators were all well-designed, making it comfortable and convenient to use. The keys on the keyboard are slightly concave, making it more comfortable to type on. The case doesn't have an LED indicator for hard disk activity. The CD-eject button is hard to access.
Display: The display quality was excellent overall. Colors were accurately reproduced, realistic, and natural looking. The desktop's display was anti-reflective, so there was little or no glare when viewing in a brightly lit room. The display has a wide viewing angle, especially important if more than one person needs to see the screen at a time, say, for a video or presentation. Below average touchscreen may cause some frustration while swiping, tapping and pinching the screen.
