    Received this just before Christmas. Spent one day setting up, updating software, and transferring data from my previous PC and laptop. No issues with any of this. Has been working great so far. Was in excellent condition on arrival. Is definitely a much appreciated upgrade in performance and function.

    I've had this PC for about a month now and so far I love it. It does everything I need and I love the compact size that fits nicely on the corner of my desk. I'm not a huge gamer so the built in graphics are more than sufficient for my purposes.

    Fast with adequate storage. Plenty of ports including usb-c for display. Works well with Dell video conference monitor. Windows 11 setup steered me to sync with other computers in the house. A little confusing at first, especially Onedrive cloud storage, already set up on another computer. Some bloatware trial versions had to be removed because I already have subscriptions.

    After buying this item, i have found that if i leave the pc running that it will shut down with an issue dealing with the CPU fan. I liked the co puter when it is working but i find that i am no longer using it daily. Turned to a mac mini for everyday tasks. Ill use this when i need a PC platform

    Sometimes, the power button doesn't work. It seems that we have to disconnect all attached cables in order for it to power on. I like the compact size and attractive case. Would like to have it in black.
