The operating capacity of this computer is everything I wanted it to be. The case did have scratches and dents that were noticeable at over an arms lengths away, even though the description said it would not. Despite the cosmetic damage I am very happy with this computer and when it comes to being able to run a large recording program, it has outperformed two Dell laptops (one standard one gaming) and a Mac desktop that’s maybe 5 years old. Not bad for the price.
