After I bought an external cd drive to load software and more ports to plug in my external hard drive, my printer etc., It runs fast.  It was a bit difficult getting to the finish line.  Make sure you realize a dongle for wireless is hidden in the mouse.  If you want to plug stuff in realize you have to buy a splitter.  Also the cd drive won't run on any port but the computer slot you got your splitter in so it's a bait and switch deal which is exasperating.  Basically after the wireless dongle is plugged in you have one usb port. I have embroidery software that requires a usb port.  Doesn't feel like things are improving unless everything you have is wireless etc.  All in all it's fast which I'm not used to because my last computer lasted for quite a while.  It was a Lenovo.  Even though my Lenovo was old it was touchscreen and it's hard when you got used to using that.
