Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel 6th Generation Core i7 (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: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 512 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 16 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.)
- Graphics Type: Integrated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 530 (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

Some buyers found it necessary to purchase a separate Wi-Fi adapter to fully utilize the computer. Overall, the absence of built-in wireless connectivity appears to be a recurring concern.

It’s a lot computer in a small box
This small PC is great. It runs well and is quiet. I got because it has an upgraded processor to my laptop and I need a computer for my small embroidery business separate from personal laptop. I connected it to a 27 inch monitor and added wireless keyboard and mouse with the small size it all works great on my desk. I was surprised when I realized it didn’t have Wi-Fi or Bluetooth capabilities but those were easily taken care of. It is a lot of capability for the price.

Not as described; I couldn't make it work for me
1) The description said it came with WIFI and Bluetooth. It did not. I'd discovered that desktops do not always come with these so I was pleased about that, but I decided not to trust the description and ordered a USB WIFI adapter just in case. It's a good thing I did; otherwise I would have had no way to get online to set it up. But it does mean that I paid extra for something the machine was supposed to come with. 2 things, actually, because I also bought a Bluetooth adapter. Altogether that added $50 to the price. 2) I use hotkeys to rotate the display for screenshots. I use them *a lot.* Something about this machine did not allow that. I tried researching possible causes and fixes but got lost; is it the version of Windows on this machine? Is it the graphics setup? Is it the Intel processor? I never did figure it out, which of course means I never did get a fix. If there even is one. 3) This unit has no place on the back to plug in speakers. There is an outlet that the speaker plug fit into, and Windows recognized that something was plugged in there, but I never did get the audio to come out of the speakers. If the monitor hadn't had speakers I would have had no sound. (I could have used the plug on the front but didn't want a lot of wires there.) 4) The text sizes on the desktop and the browsers went down. I spent a lot of time playing with them to get them to where they were on the "old" machine, a Dell Latitude, and sometimes they did look like that. But sometimes they didn't. I don't really understand what happened; this machine is running the same version of Windows as the Latitude. It shouldn't have been that much different. But it was. 5) Today I finally decided I was tired of trying to make this work. The Latitude is still functional and the problem it was having that caused me to order a replacement has disappeared, so I decided to go back to the Latitude and return this machine. I checked the order date, saw that it was within 30 days, did a complete reset on the machine, and packed it up. Only to discover, when I came here to set up the return, that BEST BUY'S RETURN WINDOW IS ONLY 15 DAYS. Not 30. I missed the window by 3 days. I am now out $423 and will have to find a buyer on my own. This is the second computer I have purchased from Best Buy. The first purchase worked out; this one has not, and now that I know that I don't have much time to make it work, when this Latitude really does go bad I will be looking elsewhere for my next computer.
