Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been very impressed with the ASUS V500 Desktop. The Intel Core i5 processor paired with 16GB of memory makes everyday tasks incredibly smooth, whether I’m multitasking, working with documents, browsing the web, or streaming content. Everything loads quickly and runs without lag. The 1TB SSD is a major highlight—it offers plenty of storage space while delivering fast boot times and quick file access. The system starts up in seconds, and applications open almost instantly. This is a big upgrade compared to traditional hard drives. Design-wise, the dark gray tower looks sleek and modern without being flashy, making it a great fit for both home and office environments. It’s also surprisingly quiet, even when running multiple programs at once. Overall, the ASUS V500 Desktop offers strong performance, ample storage, and excellent reliability at a reasonable price. It’s a great choice for professionals, students, or anyone looking for a dependable desktop for daily use. I would definitely recommend it.

This is a replacement for my 10+ year old Dell that stopped connecting to the internet. The new tower weighs less and has a much smaller footprint. The internet connection is good and the storage capacity is more than adequate for my photo and music files. It's a no frills, basic computer that meets my needs. The only downside was that I had to return to Best Buy to get an adapter to connect the tower to my monitor. My old computer had a VGA port for the monitor and the new ASUS has an HDMI port.

A great system in a compact case that packs a good punch of power for most needs. The built-in graphics card can easily power through basic video and photo editing and the processor has enough power behind it to run multiple applications simultaneously. For the price this is a great system. Only small issue I would have with it is there is not any legacy ports such as a VGA on the back but shot of that there is nothing else I could fault the system for.

The ASUS - V500 Desktop - Intel Core i5 - 16GB Memory - 1TB SSD - Dark Grey desk top computer appears to be a purpose built machine targeting small businesses and mostly no nonsense type users. It has the specs to be a well rounded out business desk top, or a personal computer for someone that only uses a computer to check their email, maybe watch a few funny videos, or might occasionally engage in a casual game or two.. this PC is as basic as they can come. It claims it will handle 4k streaming, and in my tests that was hit or miss. 4k60 would freeze and stutter, but 4k30 would play as long as I let it buffer, and I wasn't using the computer for any back ground tasks or downloading anything. To be fair I tested this PC over WIFI, and not ethernet, so it might perform better when hardwired. I did open the side panel to see if it was upgradeable, and the answer is maybe... it uses a really unique CPU cooling set up, and it also appears to be permanently mounted. The power supply is also unique, and I'm not sure it's large enough to support anything stronger than the current build. the power supply, as well as the mother board all seem to be custom made for this PC also, so I'm not confident that there is an upgrade path. There is 1 open PCIe socket, but I don't think it would support an aftermarket graphics card that was much stronger than the onboard graphics due to how small the power supply looks to be. Overall the PC is free from almost any bloatware besides what MS includes with their Windows software, and the standard Asus programs. The included version of Windows 11 would not allow me to skip the MS account sign up, even using the command prompt, and Administrator tricks... I searched high and low online and couldn't find anything that would allow me to bypass the MS mandatory log in. Overall it's not a bad PC for the price. But it's also nothing to write home about. I would recommend it if you just plan on checking your email and maybe watching a few videos etc.. if you game or video edit, or just like a nice fast PC, then this isn't for you.

If you’re looking for a simple desktop PC this isn’t a bad start, but don’t expect much for graphics or gaming. Starting out with the setup, it’s like any Windows PC with a little bit of ASUS built in. Expect to wait some time as you get updates, but that’s normal. In the box you get the desktop computer and it also came with a mouse and keyboard. If you already have a mouse and keyboard you’ll probably stick with those. These are not bad but also not something impressive. interesting there was no HDMI or Display Port, while it doesn’t come with a monitor it is still a little odd. As far as performance goes, this isn’t anything special but also does work for simple office work. If you’re using a browser and need a desktop, then this is an OK start. Since there isn’t a GPU though that’s about all you’ll do. With is being a desktop, you can do an upgrade and add a GPU, but at least with the way that the one I got is setup, it didn’t get one. Anyway, not much to say about this. The price isn’t crazy and its a decent simple desktop if you are looking for that, but you should also check out a laptop that comes with a screen and is portable that might be a better start since you’ll also need to get a monitor with a desktop.

This desktop lives up to how it was described. Fast, quiet, very user friendly. Asus has always been a top 5 choice for me and the price you put on this desktop made it an easy purchase. Thank you Best Buy, again.

Finally got a computer that works quietly and quickly. Love the smaller size!

Price was decent. It boots fast and runs fine. Main use is generic household, no gaming. I was hoping to add a basic blu ray player, but when I opened it up I found the power supply has NO extra connections.

I really like this desktop. It's boots quickly, does not take up a lot of room, lightweight, and runs very quietly.

This computer is pretty good, its fast, gets the job done and it was a really easy set up. Small and sleek , does not take up much space. Speed and memory is good. Id buy more if i need more. Love the purchase. Thank you Best buy and staff

Works as intended. First time had Asus and very pleased with the performance. Runs quite and performed well. Ports selection wise I have no issue with since it serves well.

This so far is a good computer . Starts up quickly and is quiet. it has several ports in the front. modern looking. his seems like a good computer for our home needs

Purchased this ASUS to replace a 10 year old desktop. Footprint is much smaller. Setup very easy. Obviously much faster than old desktop. Comes with Win 11 which takes a little time to get familar. ASUS desktop has had no issues. Very happy purchase.

Replacing a computer is never easy, but our HP died after only 4 years and almost $1000. Geek Squad can't repair HPs so we decided to not wait (and pay more money for HP service) and just buy this ASUS. Nice speed. Easy to use so far and it feels like our original set up, only better. Storage capacity is a plus too! So far so good!

the item asus computer was delivered as promised. the unit was exactly as advertised. the unit operated /started up with no problems. it was a good value compared to other stores. very satisfied with the computer and best buy. the computer also had a good warranty compared to refurbished computers.

I recently had to replace a 2020 HP PC. This ASUS was an open box item at my local Best Buy. First thing that struck me about it was how lightweight it is to carry. Same exact specs as the PC that died, and it runs fast and clean for less than half of what I paid for its predecessor. The salesman was fast and accurate. Excellent purchase experience, financing was easy, and I'm very happy with this PC even though it is a brand I've never purchased or used before.

Windows 11 and speed is great as well as ram and hdd

I was in need of a faster computer, and the Rep recommended this one. It is has exceeded my expectations. Its fast, and very quiet.

I haven't had this desktop very long but so far, so good. It is fast, as expected for a new machine. It is incredibly quiet! I hesitate to give it 5 stars only because it is so new

Easy setup, runs quiet and has the storage space, RAM and speed that I was looking for.
