The ASUS M11BB, AMD A10 6700, 8GB 1TB is a very fast computer and even a better computer for the price that I purchased it for on sale. This computer has more storage then I will ever fill up. My previous computer was Windows Vista so switching over to Windows 8.1 has had its stressful moments but so far I have been able to figure out how to do all the tasks I have needed so far. Putting time in this operating system is the only way you will learn how to use it; learn by doing. The wire key board and mouse are not the best but I already had a wireless key board and mouse that I hooked up to this computer. The tower is very quite and you do not hear the fan. I would still recommend this computer even though Windows 8.1 will take time for you to get used to.

The salesperson indicated that the AMD A10 chip isn't as good as the Intel i7 but it's been working well enough for our needs. I can't say much about the included keyboard and mouse as I bought wireless items to go with this.

This computer gets use a lot by the family and we all like it very much. It response very quickly to our commands. It is a great computer to use for all games, we like the 8.1 version that came with this unit. I like that the new computer automatically will knows what devices you connect to.

Overall a great computer for the price, top speed lots of features. Replaced a 7year old Windows 7 machine, noticable speed improvement and Windows 8.1 was an easy transition. Have not used the wireless option since it's located close to the router.

I have fallen in love with this computer. It is able to run all of my school requirements for college and I can also play my games it. I get good quality video as well as frames. Plus you can't really beat the price for a gaming pc.

My old tower suddenly died and I was left without a computer. I searched all the comparable name brands and after looking at all the user friendly aspects of this one I went with it. I compared prices both online and at local stores. this tower had very good consumer ratings. That is something that I look for in any product.

By itself, it is already a reliable machine that will be adequate for the common person. Though with the instillation of a very good graphics card, a GTX 760 Graphics Card, for example, it will make this a very good gaming PC. Overall a good baseline computer for a good price.

Great desktop for the price. Second ASUS purchase. Bought an ASUS laptop last year for my older son, and he loved it. He never has had any problems with it, so I decided to get an ASUS desktop. Glad I did!

Nice, fast, quite. I bought this machine in preparation of the Windows 10 release, so I haven't played with it much because I don't want to see Windows 8. This computer does not have a Blu-Ray player.

Thought I would have trouble adjusting to the new operating system, but I didn't. It is nice having access to the online manual when I need it. The keyboard is not as nice as my previous. Hard to see letters because they are all the same color. Even feels cheaper, but the computer is great. Would recommend it to anyone!

This ASUS PC is my second. After six years, my first unit's hard drive failed. Luckily, I made a complete backup, back to this later. Number two powered right up and installed Windows 8.1. It took a couple of days to totally get up and running. After moving to Windows 10, it didn't skip a beat. Put a new HD in the first PC and now my wife is pleased. For the average user you can't go wrong. These are great hard working machines.

Happy with the new computer so far. Kind of different from our old one, but thrilled with the 1 TB hard drive!! Was very easy to set up. Do wish is had more USB ports like our old one had. I have found only 2 on the front of the tower. Luckily we do have 2 on our monitor. Keep this in mind when purchasing.
