I replaced my old computer with this one.  It's like switching to HD TV as to the quality of the picture on the monitor.  I did have some issues when I first hooked it up as it ate most of my data usage loading updates, almost 8 GB in one week.  My son showed my how to disable the program updates and I'm getting a lot of use out of it now.  Much, much faster than my old computer.UPDATE:  After 8 months of about an hour a day use this computer crashed completely.  No info to the monitor so nothing I could try to do to bring it back to life.  Not happy about this purchase.
