    Detailed Test Results

    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.

    Ergonomics: Unlike many desktops, this Apple does not include a keyboard or mouse, which are sold separately. You can't easily replace the hard drive. The power button is not in a convenient location, and is either hard to access, or easy to press accidentally.

    Useful features and attributes on this model include: Has fast 802.11ac WiFi. You can connect common external devices such as hard drives and Blu-ray burners using Thunderbolt for maximum performance. Gigabit Ethernet provides fast transfer of data over a local network. Digital audio out sends a digital audio signal to speakers or your home theater.

    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. This desktop comes with 3 months of tech support.
