    I have used the exact model at another architect's office and thought it was excellent. I purchased this model and it is incredibly SLOW. I would never recommend it.

    Large paperweight

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I normally build my own computers but needed one fast. This computer comes with ZERO paperwork. Does not come with the MS key codes and MS keeps those. Be prepared to fight with MS "Bit Locker". No info paperwork comes with this system for adding second HD or internal cards. Windows 11 blocks add-ons. Cache will not clear and must be rebooted often. Videos are choppy. Large files take long to load even with the addition of 96Gb of Ram. Will not recognize cards plugged into the PCIe slots. So I have had a paperweight for over 30 days without any tech support other than Youtube. Don't think of planning on doing much with this thing, it won't do it.

    For 8 days I have enjoyed this computer. Websites come up quickly. Far better than other computers I had. Geek Squad helped me alot in fine tuning various commands. I believe I will have this computer for the next 10 years before I buy another.

    Fine Office Desktop!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Recently while expanding and upgrading our business desktops, we have been purchasing this series. Currently, I am very pleased with their performance in an office environment. The i7 processor with the 16GB RAM allows normal office usage enough speed to also have multiple browser tabs open. Gaming . . . go elsewhere . . .

    I just started to utilize this system. This computer is faster than my older one. More RAM and faster microprocessor. I did not have any issues with it so far.

    When our 10-year old desktop computer stopped working, I needed to find a replacement which would meet my needs asap! The staff at Best Buy helped me to locate and chose which desktop computer would meet my needs.

    It's footprint is much smaller than its predecessor, a 9-year old Dell, but much more powerful. It's everything I wanted (and needed). Price was good.

    Computer crashed 2nd day while downloading updates, called Geek squad support. They just told me to return it to nearest store. Returned to Peoria store, none in stock, had to make 2nd trip to Peoria to pickup replacement a week later. Why couldn't it have been shipped directly to my home?

    It Never Worked

    Received and the operating system would never start up. Purchased online and returned it in store the next day. The store tried to refuse a refund because I bought online. Be careful when purchasing computers from Best Buy online.
