Highlights
- Key Specs
- Processor Model: Intel Core Ultra 5 Series 2 (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 Graphics (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.)

Product Manuals
Q: Is the included memory using only one dimm slot?
A: Hey, There is an open DDR5 UDIMM slot beside the slot that's occupied by the 16GBs that the Tower ships with. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
Q: Is there an installed DVD reader?
A: Hey, This IdeaCentre Tower does not feature an optical drive, but you can connect an external optical drive with this IdeaCentre to use CDs / DVDs. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
Q: Can you use a monitor with a vga connector with this computer?
A: No, I had to buy an adapter. It was only like $6 on Amazon and it's only like maybe 6 inches long. It works perfectly. It has a hdmi connector for the monitor.
A: Hey lisastuf, This IdeaCentre Tower does not feature built-in speakers. For details on the audio chip, please see the following: High Definition (HD) Audio, Realtek ALC623-CG codec, 24-bit DAC supports 44.1K/48K/96K sample rate, 2 channel DAC supports 16/20/24-bit PCM format for independent two stereo channel or 2.1 audio playback. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
Q: Can this computer be laid on its side when in use? Maybe with a lightweight 27" monitor on top?
A: Hey Dave, This IdeaCentre Tower was designed strictly to be used vertically, upright. In theory, if you used the Tower in a horizontal position, you would need to ensure that the vent on the left side if facing up, and that the monitor on top would not obstruct this vent. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
Q: Is office software included?
A: Hey Diana, The most common Office apps like Word and Excel are preinstalled; however, without purchasing a long-term Office solution, such as Microsoft 365, only a 30-day trial can be activated out of the box. Here is a link to the Microsoft Office landing page on bestbuy.com to learn more about your Office options: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/microsoft/microsoft-office/pcmcat748300511466.c?id=pcmcat748300511466 | Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

Good performance.. not perfect. Good deal
Decent , level desktop that won't break the back. Specs are pretty good for the price (yes you can do some light gaming here LIGHT) Lost 2 points because graphics driver issues gave major problems and factory reset had to be performed on day 1, been running fine since then though .
