The computer works as advertised but as I was installing programs, the fan came on and it was so loud that it drowned out the music I had playing on my iPhone. In 20+ years of being in IT, this is the loudest fan I've ever heard. Unfortunately, I need a quiet work environment due to making recordings so will have to return it for a different model.EDIT: customer service was quick to respond and sent me a replacement unit at no charge which has been working perfectly since then.
