Good PC in a small package

This is a great little PC, especially in the $200 price range. It's relatively fast (no problem streaming videos from the internet or video files from your network), has a full version of Windows 10 Pro (don't forget to install it to get Windows updates), graphics are sharp and lag-free resolutions in different places. way to 4k. It had TWO network ports, fast WiFi and 4 USB ports. I have a Logitech Unifying Receiver installed and am using a wireless mouse and keyboard. Works perfectly. The PC is easy to set up and works right out of the box. Don't let the size fool you, this is a complete desktop computer. It might not be the most powerful, but there's enough processing power for all the functions a regular user has. If you're looking for a high-end desktop system for posting or editing videos/photos, it might fall behind in that regard, but it's perfect for general purpose computing. Music videos (NPR Tiny Desk concerts and YouTube music videos) connected to TV. There is no lag or stuttering in the video, but the sound card in this PC leaves a lot to be desired. That's fine for people who talk, but if you care about music quality you'll need a USB DAC or something like a Sound Blaster USB device. I use it with a DAC on my home stereo and the sound quality is really good. Embedded audio sound has very low fidelity and distortion through both the HDMI connection and the headphone jack.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging
