Detailed Test Results

Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was good, below that of many other models but still powerful enough for tasks such as email, word processing, web browsing, streaming movies and even some gaming. Its speed was adequate for productivity and Web-based tasks such as word processing, Web browsing, casual gaming and video chat. It was slow for mainstream gaming, viewing and editing photos and editing music, and its speed was adequate with writing, creating spreadsheets, video chat and other productivity tasks.

Keyboard letters were high contrast and easy to read, and its keys were comfortably sized. The mouse has a scroll wheel. The case doesn't have LED indicators for hard disk/CD activity.
