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.

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 .
