I bought this desktop seven months ago and waited to review it so I could really see how well it worked. My overall expectations do not match the hype of some of the reviews and what some amazon answers told me.I was told in amazon answers that this was a machine that could handle multitasking and would easily play 1080p. That is simply not true (at least for the machine I got). A little after the window for returns closed it started showing signs of what the machine was really like. My USB ports got very finicky about whether they would work or not. Now only the bottom two want to work. And the back usb port for my mouse often messes up and I have to take it out and put it in again for it to work. The desktop is very laggy and it's impossible to multitask. Especially on start up. I get the dreaded start up circle of doom all the time and it can easily take up to two minutes for it to fully boot up and another minute or two to fully log in and all the programs show themselves on the main screen. On occasion it has popped up on start up saying it needs to wipe the computer. The first time it came up I did do a complete wipe, but it showed no sign of improvement after that, so I never tried it again. The internet is very spotty. I have it direct connected to my modem and it still gives me pages will not load and buffers almost every time on spotify. What makes me think it's the computers fault is that I get no buffering when I use my phone on wifi. And I can easily multitask on the internet on my phone. I've also bought two different types of ethernet cables and both did not want to work. It also will not work with 1080p for streaming or dvds. I try to watch 1080p on amazon prime and the videos always say that 1080p is not and option for my desktop. But it will easily play it for me on my fire tablet and phone. And personally, I found that games will not work well. I only tried twice on games I knew would not make it overwork (Doki Doki Literature Club and Corpse Party). But it decided to error out on even those games. I can't imagine trying something even medium level graphics. Or ones that eat bandwidth and need decent graphics.I have checked for viruses and making sure that it's updated, but it did not help it. Actually, I have found the updates keep it from doing anything at all when downloading and sometimes the updates won't even take and it has to do it again. And I've tried several anti-virus programs (windows security, malware bytes, avast, kaspersky, etc) and it always comes up that I have no viruses.Bottom line, I will say that my desktop does work, but not at the pace that some users on here would make you believe. I'm not a huge gamer so it doesn't bother me to not play games. But it does irritate me that I'm having to use a $60 tablet to stream shows because my $200 desktop won't. It's ok, but as one review on here says; these are older computers that have been gutted and have new technology shoved in. And it's not compatible enough to work at the speed you should be getting with newer technology. Just understand what you are getting with this desktop is a low end product that's semi-decent for programs that are not high spec. You are getting a very basic desktop but at $200 I can't completely complain.
