PROS: exceedingly fast (compared to my 2001 computer).Very, very quiet.I don't see any bloatware, which is a huge bonus.The HDD is formatted and ready to go.There is a Wi-Fi dongle.There are almost enough USB ports. You can call me a pig for ports, I don't mind.CONS: The SSD drive fills up very quickly, even when the user files aren't on the c: drive.The Wi-Fi dongle only works on single band, 2.4.The USB 3.0 slots are not marked.I use this for work, and it is a terrific buy for the money for my needs: office work. I actually happy danced when I got it set up.I used to work tech support, so I wouldn't use it. As I mentioned, I am not a gamer, so I couldn't speak to that.I am in love.
