When purchased there were a total of 15 reviews available for it, and none on Best Buy. Took a gamble, as those first reviews indicated significant problems with the unit (motherboard, hard drive, graphics). After a month of use, so far so good. Even though it has an older-gen i5, and it's HDD and not SSD based, the unit is rather quick. Boot time to the Win10 login prompt is under 20 seconds. Browsing (multiple tabs), video streaming, general computational actions (spreadsheets) and light gaming work well. Beyond that I believe the unit would be hard pressed. Note that it cannot be expanded in almost any way. It has just one PCI slot available, no graphics slots for expansion, and only one drive bay, which is taken up by the 1Tb drive it comes with. It's very compact inside, so much so that even changing out the HDD would require dismantling several elements that block its removal. Do not get it if you have expansion or component replacement in mind. For general use, schoolwork, or light gaming it should be ok.
