Best Bang for the Buck! WOW on the HDD
on June 29, 2016
Posted by: DW952
I've never seen Windows 10 boot so fast as it does on the new tech in this HDD that is explained as a combination of SSD and HDD. Making it just a bit slower than a machine with SSD.
Also, we all know ASUS makes excellent Mainboards and this one comes with Next-Gen USB 3.1. Look it up and you'll drool.
It may not have fancy lights, but looks classy, is easy to upgrade the video card, and as always, has the solidarity of ASUS.
This baby has all one is looking for. i7, good SSD/HDD, decent RAM and room for growth.
Note: no extra memory slots, so upgrades require a clean set, but it runs the Adobe CS just wonderfully and is totally stable so far after a week.
My Best Buy number: 2136000237
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can this desktop support two monitors?

Can I connect two monitors to this desktop? It has only one VGA Port.
Yes, it can, but one must have VGA. Suggest spending $50 on a basic upgrade card if yu need DVI.

Does the operating system come installed on the SSD portion of the hybrid drive, or on the SATA portion?

The SSD hybrid is not a separate drive. it's the whole drive as one. There's a great video of it from Asus. Boots super fast and costs tons less than SSD for the size!
