The calculator is pleasantly quiet, reliable, provides a meaningful and rich equipment, offering the best performance that you would expect for this money. The operating system pre-installation is neat, at least all the conditions are in place to be able to get started right away -. Lengthy installation of various drivers or similar is unnecessary.. It the manufacturer but has probably done something simple. So there are sometimes not only fragments but also partially complete installations of software and drivers for hardware that is not installed in the PC. Of these one notices but admittedly not much. The case looks nice and meaningful distribution of connectors on the front and back like. Opening the case reveals that the hood does a fairly unstable impression, which proves especially when you replace the casing as a difficulty. Well, what do you expect for the price, and soo annoying that's not - you can not build the case that every day apart and put back together. The inside is nice tidy. No loose cable etc .. much "there" is not, motherboard, CPU, etc. are very compact, you have so much space to install additional components to the drives almost an empty box in front of him. The disk performance I think felt somewhat sedate, but certainly in the frame. Working with the machine can be very fluid and fast, as long as the hard drive is not claimed more intense. Thanks to the 8GB of RAM Also several storage-hungry applications rarely come into the enclosure and brake off. The AMD / ATI graphics processor has a for my needs ("casual") is more than adequate performance. Especially like the fact that the machine in less than a second is full back after they have been put into the power saving mode. Memory Card Reader: works, is practical. Sound in- / output: does sound is fine (especially: no noise or distortion, even with line-in & Co.). Overall recommended, and everything you can expect for the money. Who cares the internally something messy Windows preinstallation, she can clean up or even try to do better ;-)
