The description clearly says Intel i5, I received a pc with a rather suspicious scratch through a selective part of what should have been the 5 of i5 on the "Intel Inside" sticker. Noting that it wasn't performing as expected (its my daughter's pc), I dug in and discovered it has an i3 processor. Just in time to return. I can't say this is intentional, but that scratch in the Intel sticker looks like an attempt to pass an i3 as an i5. Buyers beware. Either way I bought an i5 and was sent an i3. During covid 19, for a child to home school. Good, ethical work.

The computer had great specs for a great price. It was a DOA so I returned it to the store. They were very good about replacing it but there wasn't another in stock. We replaced it and are good now. Customer support was fantastic.

Be aware that it does not have a wireless router. I bought two of these, one for each of my teenage sons. They both came with a keyboard and a wired mouse. In one of the boxes the mouse had been broken by the unit. I didn't bother trying to get a replacement because my son wanted a better mouse anyway. Also they were not very user friendly. The media player needs an app to run it and there are various other things that require someone with more than basic knowledge to make it work. Fortunately I have friends with more than basic knowledge. However, if you don't need plug and play it is a good unit to have.
