The computer arrived a day or so earlier than expected.  It was packed in a regular cardboard box with the computer well wrapped in a form fitting air sleeve with a couple of pieces of styrofoam.  The keyboard and mouse came in their own boxes within the main box, and appear to be brand new.  I did not use them.  The computer appeared to be brand new or nearly so.  No scuffs or scratches, stickers, stains or labels.  It probably spent it's previous life under someone's desk in a corporate or educational environment.  It booted up normally, but I had a 500 GB Samsung SSD and an additional 8 GB of ram installed.  The SSD is a clone of the HDD on my previous computer so I wouldn't have to reinstall my applications.  The original HDD was left installed as an additional storage volume.The computer comes with a VGA port and a Display Port video outputs.  I purchased an inexpensive Display Port to HDMI adapter to drive my HDMI monitor, and it works fine.The computer with the new SSD and the additional RAM is VERY  fast, and dead quiet.  My applications open immediately, and the computer cold boots very rapidly.  I'm not a gamer or heavy graphics user, but for routine home or office use or media viewing I can't imagine needing anything faster or more expensive.
