Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was excellent. Tasks like email, word processing and web browsing will be speedy and you can even accomplish tougher tasks like video editing and mid-range gaming at top speed. You'll be able to play demanding video games on this system, with smooth graphics and quick response. Sound from the built-in speakers was inadequate for all but the simplest use.
Ergonomics: The keyboard, mouse, labeling, and LED indicators were all well-designed, making it comfortable and convenient to use. The keyboard and mouse are both wireless, adding to convenience when placing them. The keys on the keyboard are slightly concave, making it more comfortable to type on. 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 excellent overall. Colors were accurately reproduced, realistic, and natural looking. The desktop's display was prone to glare, making it somewhat difficult to see 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. Below average touchscreen may cause some frustration while swiping, tapping and pinching the screen.
Useful features and attributes on this model include: The spacious 1TB hard drive offers plenty of room for storing your music, photos, and movies. Has a fast 7200RPM hard drive. Has fast 802.11ac WiFi. The display is a multi-touch touchscreen. You can connect common external devices such as hard drives and Blu-ray burners to the USB 3.0 port for maximum performance. Gigabit Ethernet provides fast transfer of data over a local network. An HDMI port is provided for connecting to an HDTV.
Downsides: There's no VGA video connector, or a separate adapter is required.
