I had a little hic up when I was updating drivers. For some reason Windows made me repair the operating system and it made me wipe out everything I'd stalled and transferred rather that letting me use the "keep my files" option. But it only happened one time it's been working great since then. It boots up and is ready to go very fast. The only sound it makes at all I think is from the cooling fan on the video card. I wished I read the description better and noticed that there were no blue tooth connections but it has lots of USB ports so I bought a couple transmitters. Over all I am happy!
