I'm not ready to replace my laptop and I didn't want to spend more than $300. This computer can run all the basics, handle gaming that doesn't require high-performance, and certainly serve everyday purposes. I edit and record videos and audio on this and it runs just fine. The only catch is the VGA-only port, but this is solved either with a VGA-to-HDMI adapter, or, if you're like me, your monitors have VGA in addition to HDMI; problem solved.Very happy with this little baby. I had to call customer support because the Windows Pro product key was obstructed and they were super helpful and professional. I would buy from this company again. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
