I do a lot with my computer. I run at least Adobe Photoshop, Internet Browser game, and my music. There is no hiccups when I am working. There is also tons of space which makes a designer like me very happy. I love that there is a wireless mouse and keyboard so that I am able to move it around without feeling uncomfortable. I got it out of the box but it was still new with all the stickers. No problems yet and once Windows 8 updated I went into Windows 8.1 smoothly. I love the power and how compact it is as well. I do like the fact that I can add another Blu-Ray and driver in it as well.

Was looking for a PC after my other one got zapped by lightening and needed one with lots of USB ports and hook ups for my business.
Blue shirt's were very helpful in finding me a great replacement that was not only faster but also had an added bonus of a great sound card that I needed as well. They actually recommended one that was less expensive than the one I bought...I wanted the extra bells and whistles. That impressed me that they didn't want to push me to the higher priced one.

So far so good. New to windows 8. Some of the integration not so great. (I use chrome a lot and the app is sort of hidden on the top and bottom edge making some functions annoying/hard) like the expand ability and the USB 3.0 ports. Would have been 5 stars with better video card. W/ HDMI , but you can buy an additional good quality for about $75

Well I had an eye on this computer. Then one day I was at a Best Buy and saw this in the open box section, mark down cause of the fact it was on that table. So I got it cause of the ram, needed it cause of the programs I run. I edit my photos, & graphics. It's great & fast + now I have a lot of room for storage. The only thing that I did not like was the tower, they could of use a cooler tower. Though I can live w/ it. It gets the job done.

I love my computer because it was easy to set up. Fast access to different web sites, etc. Have enjoyed the ability to navigate so easily between programs and how quickly it functions. Love the ability to choose a program from the start page that uses pictures, especially enjoy the way it has my pictures stored so I can easily access them anytime.

This new desktop is great! It is so easy to use & very fast. My old desktop took 20 minutes to start up & this one takes less than a minute. It came with Windows 8.1 which everyone told me was going to be awful, but I don't think it's bad...just something new to get use to...and I actually have found that I like it.
Also the wireless keyboard & mouse work great...have had no issues at all...can't imagine going back to anything else.

This is by far one of the best computers I have purchased. Even if you were to build one yourself, you couldn't hit the mark like this for less. Beats Audio was a nice touch..

Initially, I was scared to even start the boot up process because of Windows 8.1. However, after giving the system a chance, I'm thoroughly happy with this machine. Solid case, more than sufficient HD and memory. I will soon add another hard drive for backup purposes. Excellent value for the money spent!

The machine is quick to set up and become productive. Has enough usb ports to handle most needs. The wireless keyboard is not full sized and takes some getting used to. I couldn't and replaced it with a full-sized ergonomic one. So far it is great but for the operating system. Windows 8.1 is flawed and clunky. First thing that had to be done was to replace a .dll so that my usb fax would work. Not a great way to get a machine on line.

I bought this as a gift for my parents. Something that would meet their needs, but also kind of push them forward tech-wise (their old desktop was from about 3 years ago). It's fast and has plenty of space for whatever pictures or movies they may take while they travel. It's also just a beautiful machine (aesthetically). I bought it for the technical specs, but I'm happy that it's not "too advanced" for their needs.

Very good computer. Love how you can switch between desktop mode and the Windows 8.1 look. Very sturdy and is quiet. Very aesthetically pleasing. Very well designed computer.
