Performance: Overall this desktop's performance was very good. Tasks like email, word processing and web browsing will be accomplished quickly and you can even accomplish tougher tasks like video editing and mid-range gaming near top speed. The speakers should suffice for typical movie, music, and gaming needs.
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 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 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. Average touchscreen will make swiping, tapping and pinching the screen easy to use.
