Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was only fair, well below that of many models but still good enough for routine tasks like email, word processing and web browsing. Compared to other tested desktops, performance was okay but on the slow side for common tasks such as web browsing or video conferencing. You would notice this most when opening up applications. Performance was okay for light productivity but for some more demanding tasks may be very slow, particularly when calculating large data spreadsheets or using images in multiple documents, and it was slow for manipulating images, editing videos, and calculating simulations.
Ergonomics: The desktop, with its included keyboard and mouse, 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. The keys on the keyboard are slightly concave, making it more comfortable to type on. The mouse has a scroll wheel.
Useful features and attributes on this model include: Has a fast 7200RPM hard drive. Has fast 802.11ac WiFi. You can connect common external devices such as hard drives and Blu-ray burners using USB 3.0 for maximum performance. Gigabit Ethernet provides fast transfer of data over a local network.
