I like the size and the ease of upgrading on this item. I added 2 8gb ram modules and a ss 246mb harddrive and it is very peppy now. I also upgraded to win 10 which it accepted easily. I used the original harddrive as an external backup. So far very happy with this unit as it streams video,and works like a desktop at a reasonable price

Great little package at a great price. We've had this for a while now and it works great. Windows 10 upgrade was smooth and easy. My wife loves it. I just upgraded the RAM to 16 Gig - took all of about 30 seconds. Would recommend to anyone looking for a small computer for general use (Facebook, email, games). Do note that it does not have a DVD drive those are becoming obsolete anyway.

So, I got this offer from Dell for the palm-sized PC and I went to my local Best Buy to see it. The display had 4 models, A Dell, an HP, an Asus, and a 4th brand. It only took a few minutes to weigh the benefits of each one and I chose the Asus! For an extra $50 over the Dell, I got 4G vs 2G of Ram, and a 500G HD vs. 32/32 G and I got both a VGA and HDMI interfaces. One of the Dell reviews pointed out that you HAD to have the monitor connected or the system wouldn't boot.
Pretty simple choice, now I just have to wait for my Win 10 upgrade.

This unit is 7 1/2 " square and two inch's deep. It is four times faster than my dell was. Lots of UBS ports and really makes space available for other items. Does not have a disc drive but you can add one which is also very compact.

We purchased this PC on sale at a great price
from Best Buy. Powerful little computer with
NO problems and NO issues. No monitor came with the PC...this was stated on the Best Buy website and for the sale price, it was NOT an
issue. We use a 55" LG HDTV (not smart) in the living room to surf the web, stream movies, pay bills, etc...

This is a full desktop computer that takes up very little room. It runs strong and works well. No problems with it so far other than your usual PC issues. I love the size combined with the performance and price.

I purchased the ASUS Vivo PC to operate my sewing machine. It is works just as good as a normal desktop taking up only a fraction of space. I chose this model over the others on the market because the features offered for the amount if cost. It was very simple to setup!

This mini PC is good for basic use. The design is good and connection ports are also good. the best thing is it comes with mouse and keyboard. I use it with 2 monitors and it's running fine.

I bought this computer as a one function item - to serve up music for my home stereo. It is very small, very flexible and much faster than my old cd jukebox. It has enough storage space to use lossless codecs. The only problem so far is the computer would not play through my speakers. A phone call to ASUS resulted in a new sound driver, which fixed me right up. I use iTunes to organize and play the music.

This is a great space saving computer that comes with everything needed except a monitor, but with HDMI,VGA and plenty of USB ports it's easily hooked to multiple devices and takes up about the same space as an answering machine.

To be honest, I only used this pc in it's designed intent for about an hour or so. During that time, it functioned well and you couldn't tell the difference between this and a normal sized PC tower. After that hour, I did wipe the OS completely out and installed KODI on it to make it a dedicated HTPC. I absolutely love it due to it's small factor size, availability of inputs, performance, etc.

We purchased this to hook up to our television via HDMI. Connecting through to home theater receiver.
Quiet, looks good. Our goal was to cut cable and stream to our non smart TV. This is great in that we can keep media on the device. If an app isn't available in Windows 8 we can just go to a website (ex: HGTV.com) and watch shows online.
I was using a laptop with our TV for some of this but after deciding we wanted something more permanent this was a good solution. Not the fastest but good 'bang for the buck'
* We are considering adding a USB TV tuner but haven't done so yet; since this is an actual computer upgrades are possible- so is the fact it won't be obsolete like proprietary services....

I purchased this item because I was tired of the need to change between different set top boxes for the different media streams I needed to connect to. This works great for all of that.
This machine has enough power to play MAME games as well.

This system is currently running at four locations within our Fire Department. Setup was easy, system runs surprisingly quiet, response is typical of a system with 4gb of RAM so it's an average PC at 1/4 to 1/8 the size of normal desktop systems. It is easily upgradable, but for our applications we really don't need it.
I just upgraded our 5th unit to Windows10 with absolutely NO problems. It was almost too easy -I thought I'd missed something.
These systems are so good, we bought four more when they went on a "flash" sale last week for only $149.00. They will be used to backfill regular office systems and upgraded as needed.
I have to say, these little systems exceeded my expectations and as a result, I opted for the ASUS ROG laptop instead of a comparable gaming system from another manufacturer <-think "extraterrestrial" because I don't think I can use the name.
Anyhow, if you need a sharp(good looking), small system for your parents, children, or "average user" co-workers... This is it!

I bought this computer for a HTPC setup beneath my TV. It's very quiet, operates well, and I can VNC into it from my laptop with little lag on my network. Works for what I wanted, and is relatively cheap.
