I was a bit dubious about a Chinese brand I didn't know, but it's mostly turned out to be a great machine.  I can't find any bloatware in my install and it runs great.  The aluminum case has good finish, is solid and doesn't get very hot.The only bummer is that the unbranded SSD died after a year.  I had to buy a new one and reinstall Windows (which was pretty easy because the license was saved digitally to the motherboard).  The SSD it came with was some unbranded whatever thing.  If I had to do it again, I'd get the smallest SSD possible and immediately replace it with a good one.  Luckily, I had an online backup service, so restoring all my data didn't cost anything extra.  The computer repair shop could have done it, but it would have cost like $200.For this particular i5 processor running everything as hard as I could, it was only consuming around 20 Watts and I haven't been able to get the processor hotter than 60 or 70 degC (the stated limit is 100 degrees).  The case gets hot to the touch, but not dangerous or anything.And I dug through my Windows 10 power settings and turned the Max power down from 100% to 99%.  That doesn't sound like a big change, but it seems to disable a somewhat energy-wasteful overclocking feature which means you save a lot of power with a relatively modest hit to speed.  For the kinds of things I'm doing (spreadsheets, video transcoding, some games) it's still a quite fast computer even at that 99% setting and only burns around 3 Watts most of the time, 10 W max.  The case doesn't even get particularly hot.With my modern 21" LED monitor's brightness turned down a bit, the entire system is normally consuming less than 10 Watts and is still pretty powerful.  I save substantially on electricity while it's also not overheating my room!And of course, it's totally silent so the humming I used to have with my old box if I left it on overnight to do some job doesn't bother me when I'm trying to sleep.This is a sweet machine and I'm pleasantly surprised even beyond my relatively high expectations!
