Super easy set up right out of the box. My other desktop stopped working (I can only start it in safe mode, so no WiFi.) I work from home & need a functioning computer. This came on a Saturday w/UPS shipping, a little earlier than the Monday/Tuesday time frame. It was packaged quite well with the mouse, cord & keyboard. I took it out of the packaging, left all my cords the same (using my original set up) turned it on & was almost completely set up in less than 15 minutes. I downloaded chrome (less than 10 minutes) & synced everything across all my devices. I was a bit worried about the WiFi comments/reviews. I have a Wifi extender (purchased from amazon for less than $20) that was with my original setup, I plugged that in & just connected to the WiFi the same way that I would on any device. I live in a brick building and sometimes (depending on your phone/carrier) we have a hard time getting regular reception. I need super fast internet that doesn't drop, so It is always nice to have the WiFi connector. The desktop is almost twice the size of my other desktop & a little heavy, but easily managed.
