ASUS - Essentio Desktop - AMD A10-Series - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Black
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: AMD A10 (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: HDD
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)

- Processor Model Number: A10-6700
- Storage
- Storage Type: HDD
- Hard Drive Capacity: 1000 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's mechanical hard drive. Hard disk drives (HDDs) typically have larger capacities than solid state drives (SSDs) but may have slower speeds.)
- Hard Drive RPM: 7200 revolutions per minute (A hard drive's data is stored on disks, or platters, that spin while transferring information to the host system. The higher the RPM, the faster the hard drive's performance.)
- Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 8 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR3 (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Expandable To: 12 gigabytes (Adding more random-access memory (RAM) to a computer speeds up performance and improves efficiency. Upgrades to memory are limited by the number of expansion slots for additional RAM and existing RAM installed on the device.)
- Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 8.1 (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Operating System Architecture: 64-bit (An operating system (OS) manages computer hardware, software resources, and programs in conjunction with the system's processor. 64-bit operating systems can handle more data at once than 32-bit systems, resulting in faster speeds, more effiency, and overall improved performance.)
- Connectivity
- Number of VGA Ports: 1 (VGA (Video Graphics Adapter or Video Graphics Array) is a display standard that transmits via analog signals. This type of interface is typically used to connect a computer to a display device such as a monitor, projector, or TV.)
- Features
- Media Card Reader: true (A hardware device that allows for access to data on a memory card and enables the transfer of its files to a computer. These devices may have one or multiple slots for various types of memory cards, and may be integrated into the computer or available as an external device.)
- Audio Technology: SonicMaster; 8-channel audio support

- Owner's manual
Q: the video card is good for playing games like cod or btf4 etc?
A: I would not recommend this computer for that sort of usage. The "video card" in this product is integrated which means it's part of the processor. The AMD a10 6700 is an APU, it doesn't actually have a dedicated graphics card. I would recommend something higher end for FPS games, they're typically more taxing on your system. Check out the recommended system settings of whatever games you're going to be playing, and go from there. If a computer has ATI graphics or Nvidia graphics then it will typically come loaded with a dedicated card.
A: This product would definitely support two monitors. It has analog, and digital outputs in the back. You could use, HDMI to HDMI, DVI-D to HDMI, DVI-D to DVI-D, or VGA to VGA keeping your analog to analog, and digital to digital.
Q: What Motherboard is in this PC?
A: Hard to say, I don't think ASUS releases that information. It's probably a standard FM2/FM2+ motherboard (since it has an A10 in it) from ASUS. You'll have to open it up to find out, it would probably support standard ATX compliant devices as well.. i.e. SATA 2/3, PCIe x16, and RAM speeds up to 1600mHz. I believe the DIMM's are rated for 32g's but that would be ridiculous, 8g would be more than enough.
A: 300w psu is not going to power many lower end cards. Add a 540psu or better.
A: •Built-in high-speed wireless LAN (802.11ac) •Bluetooth 4.0 interface Your good to go. Buy a Cat6 or Cat5e cord to connect as a wired connection if you're looking to game and have a gigabit modem/router. There's nothing to buy extra for wifi connection and can broadcast via the blue tooth, PCi-e adapter card. There's a ton of conflicting info on this PC, btw. The above statements are experience based for the m11bb-bo7 pc from best buy with the a10-6700 quad core apu, 8gigs ddr 1600 ram, 1 tb HDD. (the description says max 12 gigs of ram but i'm running 16 gigs atm... i know right, if you look at the mother board you'll gasp also, buyer beware, you'll know why opening the case voids the warranty, lol)
Q: Wireless?
A: The product has both wireless and wired connectivity.
Q: Can the amd r9 290x or the msi r9 280x work with this computer
A: it should work, and can be ran duel with the on board if you enable duel graphics in the bios... but, the limited ram and space inside coupled with the apu strength makes me want to say build something with more options. I've got an EVGA geforce gtx 750ti in one of these and another stick of ram increasing it to 16 gigs and buyers remorse. I was to hasty and now wish i'd have purchased a current motherboard amd processer bundle and built off of it, maybe one of the 8 core cpu's or even an A10-6700k (the apu's with the K have decent overclocking options but, I hadn't found the APU's as the solid choice for gaming) Good Luck, PS look at the mb if you open it up and see if you can tell where another pci slot or 2 more sata ports should be... yikes right?)
Q: Does this have a blue ray player built in?
A: No it doesn't.
