Detailed Test Results

Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was very good. Compared to other tested desktops, it was among the fastest with common tasks such as web browsing and video conferencing. Applications start up almost instantly. It was fast when composing documents with images, calculating large data spreadsheets, and running other productivity tasks. Graphical tasks run faster among other models with only integrated graphics.

Ease of Use: The desktop is bundled with a keyboard and mouse. The keyboard and mouse are both wireless, adding to convenience when placing them. Keyboard letters were low contrast and difficult to read, but its keys were comfortably sized. Keyboard features such as media playback and volume control keys add convenience. There's no dedicated number pad on the keyboard. The wireless mouse has a low-profile design, and has a touch-activated scroll. You can't easily replace the storage 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. Its display produces a wider array of colors than on most other tested all-in-ones.

Useful features and attributes on this model include: You can connect common external devices such as backup drives and DVD burners using USB4 Gen 3x2 (40 Gbps). It also has Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps) supported over USB. Video outputs include: supporting Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps) and DisplayPort over USB-C; these are useful for connecting to a TV or separate monitor.

Downsides: There is no memory-card reader, so you'll need to buy an external reader or connect your digital camera directly to this desktop to transfer photos. This desktop has fewer USB ports than others. There's no optical drive like a CD or DVD reader, so you'll have to buy an external drive if you need one. The chassis has no easy upgradability: neither storage nor memory can be replaced.
