Detailed Test Results

Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was excellent. 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. With hybrid graphics, the computer can dynamically switch to the dedicated graphics card when a performance boost is needed for demanding games or applications. Everyday tasks, like web browsing or playing videos, will default to the integrated graphics chip, which is more power efficient and can reduce noise.

Ease of Use: The desktop is bundled with a keyboard and mouse. It had well-designed features that made it comfortable or convenient to use. 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 corded 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 USB4 Gen 3x2 (40 Gbps). It also has Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps) supported over USB. 2.5Gb ethernet provides fast transfer of data over a local network. Video outputs include: a HDMI full-size port supporting HDMI 2.1, a DisplayPort full-size port, and supporting Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps) over USB-C, 3 total DisplayPorts, a 2nd HDMI port with 2.0 speed, S/PDIF optical audio port; 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 change the 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.
