Detailed Test Results

Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was excellent. 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 among the fastest when composing multiple documents with images, calculating large complex data spreadsheets, and running other demanding productivity tasks. Graphical tasks run faster among other models with only integrated graphics.

Ease of Use: Unlike many desktops, this computer does not include a keyboard or mouse, which are sold separately. It had well-designed features that made it comfortable or convenient to use. You can't easily replace the storage drive.

Display:

Useful features and attributes on this model include: You can connect common external devices such as backup drives and DVD burners using USB4 v2 (120 Gbps). It also has Thunderbolt 5 (120 Gbps) supported over USB. 10Gb ethernet provides fast transfer of data over a local network. Video outputs include: a HDMI full-size port supporting HDMI 2.1, and supporting Thunderbolt 5 (120 Gbps) and DisplayPort over USB-C; these are useful for connecting to a TV or separate monitor.

Downsides: 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.
