Am now since one week the owner Mags. There is no pre-installed Betriebssythem what I think is great. Hand on heart, how many Windows licenses we all have lying around? Using the "WinSetupFromUSB" in 10 minutes created a bootable flash drive, and you're able. Installation went smoothly, but something (my stick is possibly a bit lame) long time. Although an optical drive is missing are settled on a CD driver. Find the now no longer useful because settle a stick with 128Mb with drivers not caused much more cost. Therefore, keep in mind - driver in advance of the CD (or Internet) to copy to stick! Another point - no PS / 2 ports are available - so you need a PS / 2 adapter -USB or a USB keyboard! As for volume I can not confirm - in the BIOS, you can put down fan speed, and the critical temperature at which the fan will ignore the speed setting and cooling with maximum speed. Performance for such a small machine I find more than adequate. By Hyper-Threading technology, the system has 4 logical cores, which range good for Office + Surf + films. Even HD forces the small (real player assuming !!!) not to its knees. Only youtube 1080p video jerky slightly. All in One - a very good alternative for some obsolete computer at which upgrading is no longer profitable.
