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. Its speed was adequate for mainstream gaming, viewing and editing photos and editing music, and it was fast with writing, creating spreadsheets, video chat and other productivity tasks. In addition, demanding video games will show smooth graphics and have a quick response.
Ergonomics: The desktop, with its included keyboard and mouse, was well-designed, and 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. The keys on the keyboard are slightly concave, making it more comfortable to type on. The mouse has a scroll wheel. The power button is not in a convenient location, and is either hard to access, or easy to press accidentally. The case doesn't have an LED indicator for hard disk activity. The CD-eject button is hard to access.
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.
