And this machine is faster w more ram memory (16 GB).  The numerous usb ports allowed the addition of usb & wifi dongles, card reader, and an added VGA long cable allowed the addition of a $6.50 Samsung monitor from the thrift store.  No extra software garbage came with this machine, and everything went plug and play easily.  Add an O0ntz Angle 3 for usb sound, and it is awesome.  Thinking to buy a second just for giggles.  It came clean as new, with no smoker's residue.  Will probably need to up grade keyboard and mouse, but it is good for now.  Bought to mount monitor on elliptical to play youtube music vids, and surf.
