This computer is great for the price! I hadn't noticed it was a 2012 model, but all the parts work, right out of the box. I hooked up some old speakers and it sounds great. The only thing I would have wished for was word to be included. Everything is clean, unmarked and visually acceptable.  Its nice to have a desk top again. I've been working with laptops,  tablets and my phone. It's bang for the money. So glad I bought it.
