Good computer but a couple of problems. First of all, the included system fan is noisy. The quality of these fans should be maintained. Second, when I updated the firmware (BIOS), I got a boot device not found error when I restarted the computer.
This unit has a reasonably small footprint. Windows desktop loads fast. Nice graphics. The response from the USB ports on the front seems quite slow. I am also getting a hum from somewhere in the enclosure. Not fan noise but resonating hum (like a transformer sound). Very annoying!
This is excellent computer!! I run it with Arch Linux and have increased the memory to 32 gigs. It is fast, reliable, very smooth to work with which I do with leftwm, largely the standard browsing and document work, but also coding and AI. Just a beautiful machine and my first new machine since 1984!
The PC is very fast. I was able to bring my files over from 1 Drive and Google with no issues. A wireless rather than a cord mouse would have been better
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this desktop on Black Friday (November 24, 2024), and after just over a month of use, it stopped functioning. Despite following all recommended troubleshooting steps, the device will not turn on. This has been an extremely frustrating experience, as I had high expectations for the quality and performance of this product.
