Why this PC is unique.
I'm delighted with this PC, and the reason is that it is only one on the market today with a low wattage processor. The AMD Athlon II X2 260u is designed to operate at only 25W, compared to the other low energy 250e at 45W. Most other processors are typically at 65W with more powerfull processors at 100W. It is only bested by the Intel Atom at 15W, but that is seriously underpowered. The 260u is plenty powerful for all desktop applications (except of course games, which isn't relevant to my requirements).I also chose this machine as it guaranteed to have up to 8GB RAM available. I not kidding when I say there are newly released PC's sold today with max of 4GB but because of chipset limitations has to reserve a quarter of that for hardware resources, whether used or not. This is nothing to do with graphics reserved memory which can be dedicated and nothing to do with not using 64-bit Windows 7. It's because the "system addressable space" on the motherboard must be greater...

Great All-In-One
I bought this on January 25, 2011. I wanted to get back to the desktop arena because I work from home and 12-16 hours a day on a laptop has its pros and cons. So I said well let me get this. At first I was skeptical because of the processor being under 2.0 ghz but it works excellent for me. I think people now get to wrapped up into speeds. I am not a heavy gamer at all so its perfect for the games I do play. I did upgrade the ram from 3 gig to 6 gig for now. I will max it out at 8gb in the near feature. The extra ram makes a noticeable difference, and if you do upgrade the ram.. please note it does take Laptop ram, not desktop ram! This is a great system and the speakers sound great and the screen is crisp and clear. You will not regret this purchase!

looks even better than on the website
I bought this computer as first choice and I wasn't dissapointed. The computer is simple and easy to use, its not filled with ports that you will never have to use. The style is very sleek and professional with a lovely sized bright screen and I particularly like the keyboard look.I enjoyed using the built in webcam and software that is already installed in it. My friends and I had fun using all the funny faces and effects and the webcam alone is of great clear quality, great for taking pictures. The built in speakers have a good volume and this compact computer really does save space. I literally took 5 minutes to set it up physically and 10 minutes to do the computer set up.All in all, I think it is well worth the money and a great buy.
