Customer Ratings & Reviews

it has the necessary power for gaming or office , very silent and lean

Have had this for about 10 months now and have had no problems with it. It runs pretty fast and has enough memory to do most basic things. I have added a GTX 1050 ti to it and it makes for a nice budget gaming pc too.

Good computer. Fast. Lots of storage. Easy set up. The first one we ordered had a power supply problem. It stopped working after about 2 weeks. We returned it and received a replacement within a couple of days. The new one works great. Haven't had any issues. Very happy with it. Would buy another Asus

I needed to replace my 7 year old desktop computer. This ASUS was displayed on an encap, and at under $500 was just what I was looking for - latest generation i5 processor, 8GB of RAM and a 1 TB hard drive. Windows 10 has presented no problems and is much better than the Windows 8/8.1 I have on a laptop. Computer came with both Ethernet and WiFi capability, blue tooth and more. Someday I may use those features :) I just signed up to renew the Office 365 trial for the year. Only problem was the computer came with McAfee trial, but apparently wasn't turned on at startup. The Microsoft Defender firewall was also off and I got hacked 2 weeks after initial boot up. Much of Windows 10 was turned off - I found this out because my HP printer was suddenly "off line". I called HP for support and then paid them to "fix" the stuff turned off and get rid of whatever trojan/worm/virus was installed, and they also installed 360 Total virus software (this was free). Had planned to install AVG free virus software after the McAfee trial was over, but again, it never started. Overall I'm very satisfied with this ASUS computer. It's fast and quiet.

Reliable, fast, no issues. Great value for the money. Would recommend.

Some more water has passed under the bridge since I wrote the "No Fluke - Dead on Arrival" review. Best Buy was gracious in allowing me to exchange the DOA PC I received when I returned the unit to the store. Thankfully, there was one in stock and upon request, the associates opened the replacement PC in-store to check that it was bootable. The unit ran the initial boot cycle without any hitches. I took the unit home and set it up. It has been running flawlessly since 3/30/16. The specs are very good for the price and for what my kids use this PC for, the Intel Core i5; 8 gigs DDR 4 memory; 1 terabyte hard drive; 2 USB 3.1 ports; 2 USB 3.0 ports; very good sound card; among others, are well worth the price of asking. The unit is very quiet, and boots up fairly quickly even without a Solid State Drive, which I intend adding in due course. So far, so good. ASUS should still get to the bottom of what is causing some of the units to malfunction out of the box. This working unit deserves a full 5 stars!

This computer is great for the price. Motherboard, Processor, and Ram that already comes with it is pretty nice. I got this computer as a upgrade from my old tower, threw in a Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 and this outperforms all the other computers that i have ever had. I game, and I DO NOT lag at all while playing. Great computer for a great price. If your a gamer, you should definitely check this computer out.

The negative reviews all dealt with a bios upgrade issue. Mine had Windows 10 on it and worked without a hitch. Lot of computer for a low price. The one thing I dislike is the warranty tag on the case. I plan to install a solid state drive and a video card but as I understand it, that voids the warranty. I plan to ask Asus about that.

Performed great right out of the box. Easy to setup and use. Good storage and speed for the price.

This a really good PC! So far, I've updated it with a GTX 970, a SSD, more RAM and a new PSU. It's running better than ever. I'm really happy with the purchase of this PC. I've been using it for gaming, 3d design and VR development. I've tested it with an Oculus Rift and it runs flawlessly. Even without the updates, the PC already had a good performance.

The PC was everything claimed however I will not use Windows 10, period. To convert to Windows 7 turned out to be not cost effective. Should have been a simple replacement of the hard drive and installation of Windows 7. The bios on the motherboard prevent the loading of Windows 7. ASUS should be held to task for this. I had to also buy another motherboard to to complete the conversion. There should be a warning about this published in the specifications.

Asus - Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive - Gray is a superb value priced desktop unit. So pleased with the speed of the unit. It replaced my much more HP desktop and has dramatically improved my user experience on the WWW.

I purchased this one as a replacement for my wife's aging PC. I purchased the package deal which included the Asus 27" monitor. The system works better than expected since we needed to move her software from her older Windows 7 PC. The computer is very responsive and she is able to get more work done without worrying about the system getting bogged done which was happening to the older system. She is a limited gamer but the system handles gaming equally well.

Right out of the box it loaded up quick but had to wait at least 45 minutes for all the updates before I can actually use it. Its fast and smooth and very quiet. It doesn't come loaded with any programs not even to watch dvd movies had to load my own copy of cyberlink. I have 2 issues, one is that sticker on the back if you open the case to uprade it will void the warranty. The other is it only comes with one pci-16 slot for a video card and that's it besides one more slot for memory. No room for upgrading.

Works fast and easy for kids school work and projects

This computer is good for our very basic needs - internet, word, excel. The first one we purchased had to be returned as there was a problem with Windows 10, but Best Buy exchanged it and everything has been fine since then. We had a very old computer, so we are thrilled with the speed of this one.

Easy set up, and priced good. It has plenty of speed and usb ports that one should need. For a home computer it is a good buy. Plenty of memory and storage.

The system work fast and has plenty of memory. Work fine for me.

An excellent CPU, very fast, reliable and with a lot of storage.

I bought this computer when it was the deal of the day and got a great price on the computer. Overall, I have no real complaints as it runs as I would expect something right out of the box would. It plays most games at a decent resolution and FPS as it is. I will be upgrading the computer with a new graphics card and really see what the i5 can do, but so far I'm more than satisfied with the computer. The hard drive size is decent as well, and with as cheap as external memory has become, even easier to upgrade and never even have to crack open the case.
