I really do love this computer. i've owned it now for almost a month and i use it everyday. i dont normally write reviews for things, but i just want to set things straight and let people know what this thing is capable of. i'm also currently writing this review with it.im not a hardcore gamer but i do dabble in some older games. when i'm not at work, i look forward to using this little computer, as it is a full blown desktop computer and surprisingly powerful. there is no lag when switching between programs or browsing the web. this is a big upgrade for me, as my last computer was one of those worthless netbook, a dell mini 1018. i upgraded the ram to 2 GB which didnt help at all because the graphics card of that netbook is LITERALLY the second to worst gfx card ever. if you look up benchmarks of GPU's and look up Intel GMA 3150, it scored a 2. the best gfx card scores like a 17,789 or something. so its basically the worst gfx card. it cant load even the lowest resolution youtube videos. but i dont really need a computer for much because i have an Iphone and it does everything i need.Anyway, i had some spare money and i wanted to buy something on amazon and i remembered a few years ago hearing about the raspberry pi mini pc. so i looked on google if i could install windows OS on them and it looked like a no, except i read something about windows 10. but then i found this and i wanted it immediatly. but before i spent my money, i had to do some research. so i found a bunch of these mini pc sticks with windows 8.1 and mostly identical hardware so i read all the reviews and looked at youtube videos and found that theyre all basically the same.however, this Quantum access has no fan and is built with a heat sink. the intel compute stick doesnt have the heat sink but has the fan and i had heard that it gets hot so i figured if this one gets hot, i can just put a little 5" fan near it to disperse the hot air if needed. so i read all the reviews and youtube videos and decided to buy this one and i'm very happy with it. i'm not a reviewer and have never tried the other pc sticks but i'm more then happy with my purchase. i already had a 32" tv, wireless mouse and keyboard and a 4 port USB hub so all i needed was the mini pc.As soon as i got it, i fell in love because of how fast it is. there is nothing more i hate then a slow computer and so i never really used my netbook unless i needed to write up a contract on MS Word. but this thing lets me do everything i can think of. the graphics card of this thing is great. its not the best but far from the worst. the processor is very fast too and windows 8.1 works beautifully with it. i love having a computer now.And for anyone wondering what kind of games it can hadle, these are what ive played and all work flawlessly with stable 50-60 FPS.Grand theft auto San Andreas  -  and Vice CitySims 3Sega Dreamcast Emulator plays great on this with some lagging when the screen is clusted with its 128 bit graphicsN64 emulator all games work greatPS1 emulator all games work great on almsot maxed out settingsso thats what i wanted to say. sorry this is so long but i wanted you all to know that this thing is great for anyone looking for a quiet, powerful computer. As long as you dont expect to play GTA V on this, it will serve you will. the gfx card is very important for computers because that will determine all your video output and graphics. this computer has a very decent card and plays netflix and amazon prime perfectly.the only thing i would like to see improved is the ram. i really wish it had 4 GB of ram. and a USB 3.0 would be fantastic. with those two upgrades, i wouldnt need another computer for many years. i'm even happy with the 32 GB eMMC storage becuse i have a 2 TB external HDD. i read somewhere about the intel compute stick is coming out with a more improved pc stick with a core m processor and 4 GB of ram. but i will wait till quantum suppliers comes out with one too because i'm very happy with this computer. but i hope quantum suppliers with stick with the atom processor, as it is a beast. i would recommend the Atom Z3795 processor. its a quad core with up to 2.39 GHz and supports up to 4 GB of ram in Dual Channel mode for maximum speed. its a pretty cheap processor and wouldnt increas the price too much. if they made a computer with all the things i just said, omfg id buy two of them the day its released.Again, sorry this is so long. you are a hero if you read this entire review. i give you props. and i give you my word that you will NOT be dissapointed in buying this computer. for the price, you cant go wrong. i almost want to buy another for no reason, just because its so cheap. Thanks again
