My personal and professional history is held on my computers.  We recently moved from Michigan to Florida which subjected 3 of our desktops to packing.  Unfortunately, the people from Best Cross Country Movers allowed our PC box (for which we paid $50 per PC to pack) to get wet.  Slowly, out desktop PCs have died.  Recently, I've had bad luck with refurbs sold  on Amazon.  I was hoping for I7s with SSDs but after all the expenses we've endured, three new I7s were not in the cards.  So, I looked for a decent I5 since most of our use is for doing office applications, web surfing, etc.I initially liked this box because it had the SSD, the 12 GB of RAM (not 8 like other cheap desktops) and the two HDMI video outputs.  So far, I've been happy with this bargain model.  Windows starts up fast.  No updates were required.  Most of the drivers were up to date.  All my Microsoft apps automatically installed and updated.  It just works!Performance seems to be fine.  Right now, I am importing my massive Outlook email/contacts/calendars/notes files while writing this review.  This seems more than adequate for a general office use PC.I'd buy it again.
