I have used this computer for about 10 days now and I am very happy with it.  It is much faster, especially on shutting down, than my old Win 7 computer.  I'm not a gamer, so I don't know how it would work for that.  This machine is just fine for what I usually do; email, surfing, documents, photos and other routine things.  I had planned to buy and add an 8GB RAM stick, but read that going from 8 to 16GB doesn't make much difference.  Since I am happy as it is, unless I find a reason, I won't be adding RAM.This is a very good computer at a very reasonable price, and I recommend it.
