The desktop performance is really good. This product replaced a HP with a core i7 chip, same 16 GB of memory. But this system is without any doubt much faster. In fact is the fastest desk top I have ever had. and I have have many.  It boots up to a ready state in 9 seconds.  Incredible, considering I have a fair amount of things starting at boot (start-up time) time.  Highly recommend this system
