    Set-up was more complicated than I would have liked, but finally have everything working. Still getting used to Windows 10. One other thing is there are only two USB ports on the back of the PC box which get used up with the keyboard and mouse, so have to use one of the USB ports on the front of the box (not convenient) for the printer.

    Hey, this deal was on sale, very inexpensive, perfect to use for what I needed–an online cycling game/workout–but after a couple few uses it started powering down all by itself, then it wouldn't power back up, at all. Returned it to Best Buy and the staff was awesome and got me another unit from a different store right quick. No problems with the new unit. For five-hundo, you get a farmer's grip of memory.

    It took me having someone show me how to activate a few features of the device. System needs an owner's manual included with the purchase. People who aren't computer smart, need to get tutoring from a pro.

    Bought this to run the elgato hd60s with. I don’t care for Windows as I’m a Mac person but Windows 10 has reverted back to the classic-ish start menu of the past which I like better than the way 8 was set up. Out of the box this tower is packed with everything you need to run your most common applications, including video editing software, and does power the elgato and run it’s software flawlessly to record from Xbox. Not a big pc gamer so I can’t attest how well it runs demanding games but I’d bet it would suffice for most based on its specs.

    I have been very impressed with the performance of this desktop. It is great for multi-tasking and light gaming. I knocked off one star solely because of the unnecessary pre-loaded software that comes with the device. I've been able to uninstall/remove all of if it, but it's an annoyance none the less to have to "clean up" your brand new desktop. Aside from that issue - and it's a relatively minor one - this is a solid desktop that I would highly recommend!

    I was unsure about the memory card. The staff advised me to purchase an SSD card instead of using the one that came with the computer, so it's less likely to crash. It's working fine.

    Chose this computer on the advice of the store associate and am very happy that we did. The only complaint is that this model needs to have more USB ports in the back of the tower to hook up printer, webcam, etc. There are extra ports in front but personally I would rather have them in the back. Now I've learned that there's another model that does have more USB ports in back, if I had noticed that I just would have bought the other model. That was my mistake. Other than that it is a great computer and I recommend it

    The first one lasted 9 days and quit working. Exchanged for another one. That one lasted 57 days and quit working. Best Buy was great and had Geek Squad look at it who updated the BIOS. Hopefully that does it. Only other complaint is that there should be two more USB ports in the back (it only has 2). Size of the unit is great.
