Great computer for the price. It is 9-10 years old. Good performance just as it is. Wanted more, and had the parts so I added a standard 2 tb drive to backup the SSD OS drive and store data on. Onboard devices are adequate, but added a Sound Blaster 7.1 sound card. Note that the card showed up instantly in the device manager, but won't allow you to choose it as your default sound until you added speakers. Added 32 gig Crucial Ram. Going to upgrade the video eventuality.
Very usable computer just as it comes. The refurnishing was well done. Only thing I found was dust in the DVD. Nothing to get upset about. And a pet peeve. Worked on computers since 3.1, and for MS for several years, and still think Windows 10 is a disaster. Someone is going to create a shell making it run like Windows 7 and make a fortune. I would, and already have recommended this to several friends looking for a computer.
Update - About 30 days old now. One Display Port died. Had dual monitors connected. One wouldn't light up, said no signal. Replaced cables, tested with know good monitor, etc for testing. Monitor that failed on the Display Port works on VGA. Other working monitor does not work on failed Display port. Was planning on upgrading to another GPU. Not sure I trust rest of the computer, now.
Update, again! Replaced the ram that came with the machine with Crucial ram, replaced cables. Display Ports working again.
