    The machine is great, at least it has been as of now. I pretty much only use it to play the sims 4 with many add ons and it has worked perfectly fine. I have no regrets whatsoever.

    If you do video editing or pc gaming this is the way to get in the zone. Is this the top of the line? No way!!! But it will get you where you need to be and be dependable!

    I thought this unit did a fine job with most games. Sure you had to turn down the graphics quality from 'ultra' but for the money, I say it provides the most bang for the buck!
