Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was poor, well below that of many other models and you may notice slowdowns in such things as boot-up, application launching, and video editing. The sound on movies, music, and games was acceptable with the built-in speakers, but if you're looking for the best sound you might want to add speakers or use headphones.
Ergonomics: Features of the keyboard, mouse, labeling, and LED indicators were not well-designed, so it's not especially comfortable or convenient to use. The keys on the keyboard are slightly concave, making it more comfortable to type on.
Display: The display quality was very good overall. Colors were accurately reproduced, realistic, and natural looking. The desktop's display was anti-reflective, so there was little or no glare when viewing in a brightly lit room. 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.
Useful features and attributes on this model include: The spacious 1TB hard drive offers plenty of room for storing your music, photos, and movies. The spacious 1TB hard drive offers plenty of room for storing your music, photos, and movies.

An HDMI port is provided for connecting to an HDTV.
Downsides: This desktop has fewer USB ports than others. There's no VGA video connector, or a separate adapter is required.
