This is the second one of these I purchased, the first was for a media center to stream our TV shows, this latest one is to replace my old computer which I use for videos, web surfing, and our VOIP telephone. The computer is more than adequate for these uses. I'm sure my son would want a later technology for his gaming purposes, which he builds his own computers for. I used to build mine, but the cost of components and hassle of occasional faulty parts just isn't worth it. The i7 technology is not bad and is fast enough to keep up with current demands unless you are a CAD or A/V professional. I only had one problem, the windows was not activated automatically and the key on the computer would not activate the windows. Sent the seller a message and within a few hours I had the key for this computer and it all works perfectly. Thank You, very pleased once again.
