So far, so good after a week of use. Fairly easy to set up. I like the multiple UBS ports in the front of the desktop. Even an ancient software was able to be downloaded to utilize an ancient automated lighting system.
I've only been using it for a month, but I'm very happy with it. Fast, fast, fast. This computer has both an SSD and an HDD drive. Once I got used to the SSD vs HDD and moving my saved files to the HDD drive, (And remembering my files are in drive D not C, lol) I'm good to go. I hope it stays this awesome for many years. (I truly dislike Windows 11 though. I miss my Windows 10!)
As configured, the system saves all documents and photos to the C: SSD but nothing to D: , the HD. This quickly fills the smaller SSD. Much effort is required to figure out how to use the large D: hard drive.
Plug and play feature does not work.. Drivers must be downloaded from app store and that is a very confusing process.. It used to be you only had to plug a HP printer in and it would find a built-in driver for it and be ready to use immediately.
Finally a home computer that works correctly out of the box with all the features I wanted...and did not cost more than a car payment. Had 3 main features I wanted...real hard drive, DVD drive, and 4 USB ports on front of tower. Only gripe I have is a lot of junk preloaded software that I had to get rid off. Overall great computer for the price.

I am delighted with how quickly the unit comes on line and how it shuts down in only 5 to 7 seconds. My previous unit (a Dell with Windows 10) would take 30-sec. to turn on and sometimes 2-minutes to shut down. I am still learning the Windows 11 features while how to avoid the cloud and trying not to incur any additional expenses.
