    Let's talk about what I love about this computer first.-It's BIG. That large screen is bright and clear and perfect for multitasking!-The speakers work well. We've watched a TV show on it, and it was loud enough with the built-in speakers.-It's got a big hard drive and 16GB of RAM! So this computer is fast and should remain fast even if you put a lot of files on it.-Touch screen, woo hoo! I keep forgetting to use it since I'm not used to having a touch screen.-Face ID! (Or whatever the Windows term is for it.) Love logging into my profile this way.A couple of (minor) quibbles that don't knock this off its 5-star perch:-When you move it forward or backward, it can easily feel like it's going to topple over. It feels really secure when it's still, but be careful when moving.-The keyboard is too clickety-clackety for my taste, with keys that feel big. (I'm used to an external Mac keyboard, so that tells you what I'm comparing it to.)Now, let me tell you the mistakes I made so maybe you won't make them:-I had to read the directions to turn it on; until then, I examined it and could not find the power switch. If you'd rather read a review than read directions...it's on the bottom right of the monitor/CPU unit. You have to feel it with your fingertip; you can't see it because it's on the bottom.-I didn't fully read the little get-started pamphlet. Turn it over, and it shows you how to raise up the webcam. I couldn't figure out why the webcam wasn't seeing anything! I uploaded a video that shows you how to press on the top of the computer to raise the webcam.-I didn't plug it in well at the beginning. I got a warning as I booted up, saying "The AC power adapter wattage and type cannot be determined." Then the computer was slow. I mean, PAINFULLY SLOW. I was so frustrated; a brand-new computer with 16GB of RAM should NOT be slow! Well, it was user error. Turned out I didn't have the plug all the way into the back of the CPU. I ended up needing to unplug it, plug it back in (also checked the two parts of the adapter to make sure they were plugged in together tightly), then restart the computer. At that point, it worked fantastically well.So, yes, we had a difficult start, but that was my fault! Once we got the computer truly up and running, we've really enjoyed it.
