Detailed Test Results

Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was very good. Compared to other tested desktops, it was fast for common tasks such as web browsing and video conferencing. Applications start up quickly. 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: The desktop is bundled with a keyboard and mouse. Its features were well-designed, and it 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. Keyboard features such as media playback and volume control keys add convenience. The wireless mouse has a scroll wheel. The storage drive can be easily replaced.

Display:

Useful features and attributes on this model include: You can connect common external devices such as backup drives and DVD burners using USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps). Video outputs include: a DisplayPort full-size port, 2 additonal Display ports ; these are useful for connecting to a TV or separate monitor. The chassis has room to upgrade most hardware: either storage or memory can be replaced, and there is room to add a dedicated graphics card.

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. There's no optical drive like a CD or DVD reader, so you'll have to buy an external drive if you need one.
