We have had 3 computers destroyed by Windows updates this year, and the most recent casualty was my desktop (though my husband thinks the drive actually went out this time).  It is the same generation as this computer and almost identical, but for the Nvidia card.  It actually runs as smoothly because I got an I7 for  about 1/10th of what I paid for my I5, and there is more ram as well.This is really well done.  I was happy to see a platter dvd, rather than a spindle.I was surporised by other things which were included.  I thougfht I needed a display port to hdmi cable, butr there is hdmi, and it is working fine.It also came with a wifi dongle (the one I ordered with the machine arrives tomorrow, and I will probably keep it because it is a tplink wide range.I already had a bluetooth transmitter/ receiver, and can recommend the AKSonic to anyone who might be looking for one.  They had (at least) one with aptx, aptx hd and ldac.  (Which means I can use it for streaming with no sacrifice).I am happy as a clam with how well this works and how easy the entire thing was,and will add that it cost less than BB wanted to charge to give me an estimate on fixing my ASUS.I am happy  enough with this that I am thinking about buying another for my husband.and, unbelievably, the price has gone down since prime day, but I am perfectly OK with what I paid for it.
