Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was excellent. Tasks like email, word processing and web browsing will be speedy and you can even accomplish tougher tasks like video editing and mid-range gaming at top speed. It was fast for productivity and Web-based tasks such as word processing, Web browsing, casual gaming and video chat. It was fast for mainstream gaming, viewing and editing photos and editing music, and its speed was adequate with writing, creating spreadsheets, video chat and other productivity tasks. In addition, demanding video games will show smooth graphics and have a quick response.
Ergonomics: The desktop, with its included keyboard and mouse, was well-designed, and was comfortable and convenient to use. The keyboard and mouse are both wireless, adding to convenience when placing them. Keyboard letters were high contrast and easy to read, and its keys were comfortably sized. The mouse was not as comfortable to use as others. You can't replace the hard drive.
Display: The display quality was excellent overall. Colors were accurately reproduced, realistic, and natural looking. The desktop's display was brighter than most, a plus for viewing in bright indoor lighting. 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.
Useful features and attributes on this model include: The spacious 1TB hard drive offers plenty of room for storing your music, photos, and movies. Has fast 802.11ac WiFi. The display is a touchscreen. You can connect common external devices such as hard drives and Blu-ray burners using USB 3.0 for maximum performance. Gigabit Ethernet provides fast transfer of data over a local network.
Downsides: There's no VGA video connector, or a separate adapter is required. There's no optical drive like a CD or DVD reader, so you'll have to buy an external drive if you need one.
