Gave 5 star for gaming But I am not a gamer - don't really know the value in that area. As far as everyday use with plenty of movie streaming and word processing - it was and is fantastic. I have been using this computer for over 6 months and am totally pleased with my purchase. I am not computer literate to the point I can critique the hard and soft - ware but I do not believe a hardcore computer geek will purchase something like this other than to rebuild and resell. This is a fantastic computer for the everyday user. No complaints here.
