Sure this is not a gaming computer but for the person who needs to check email, homework, some surfing the web you will be all set. If speed & heavy lifting like video editing, gaming, media like movies save your money till you can get a more robust unit.

I've only had it 4 weeks but so far I have no problems. I use it for email, browsing the web and playing some puzzle games. Great for the price!
It was $269 when I bought it but it went on sale within the return period so I went to Best Buy and got $50 back.

Lots of computing power in a small tower. I use this desktop mainly for word processing and internet browsing, not gaming. The only con is that it doesn't come with an exhaust fan. I had to buy an uncommon-sized cooling fan and attach it to the rear.

Got this as a open box and for the price paid it's good enough for basic browsing. It's slow, but could be when in Wi-Fi and too far.

I bought this because i was on a budget but it is very slow. 4gb and a Pentium processor is not good enough for Windows 10.

Great, especially if you are using cloud storage.i say that because the 16gig of onboard storage is a little limited.also, this has a surpriseing graphics card and sound card,pair this with a HD monitor, and enjoy the beautiful picture quality this machine is capable of.

Bought this to replace my parents slow outdated system. Their needs are about as basic as it gets and this set up was a great improvement for them. So far after about 2 months there have been no problems to speak of.

My mom needed a basic replacement pc. This one is perfect if you just want to do basic things and don't need gaming speeds. But fast enough for the price.

I continue to be hacked even on this new PC that replaced my old HP Compaq PC whose motherboard burned up during one of the hacking attempts.
The Gvl Fla Best Buy Geek Squad fixed the hacking problem by using a total replacement of its operating system, which stopped the malware infections immediately.
The hacking attempts are continuing, but I have halted all online banking, credit card, and even Geico Insurance Co. online requests and am now using hand-written checks to pay all bills.
Until the hackers can be arrested, prosecuted, and imprisoned for life, there is no longer a "safe" internet.
The Geek Squad can guide you through this internet chaos.
