Pretty nice and small general purpose PC
This comes with a 54GB solid state disk, easily upgraded (3.5" serial ata) if you want larger. I installed Puppy Linux on it, after considering several 64-bit Linux distributions - some work better than others on this computer. I am not sure that the video card on this is a s good as others, regardless of whether you use the VGA or the DVI video (but the latter is better). Note that you may want to get a USB-connection CD/DVD drive - no such included on this computer. Same for any printer needed - either USB or connected through the network RJ-45 port. I generally strongly recommend using wired network instead of WiFi; if you want WiFi on this, you need to add it. There are plenty of USB ports for doing all of that - four in back, and two in front for memory sticks and such. Low power means you can let it go to sleep (or suspend), giving you instant-on with no boot time. Many people use laptops in much the same manner, but this gives you more flexibility and more desk space. All in all, a pretty decent "standard" PC for those who prefer using that to a tablet or smartphone.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

OS Install is Agony
Be ABSOLUTELY certain you have the proper SSD. The 2GB SSD that comes with the computer will not let you install WIN OS because the installation requires 7 GB. What I bought is a 64GB, 1/8" micro SSD and a SATA 2.5 adapter set of wires to a SATA to micro adapter. The SSD plugs into the micro side plug of the adapter and the SATA wires go from the mother board power plug and data plug to the 2.5 side of the adapter. So far I have the BIOS recognizing the 64GB SSD but cannot get the OS to load from a USB flash drive. It is a nightmare. I had to buy a USB CD drive to use an OS install CD. I am still waiting for the CD drive to arrive. All I wanted was a compact, quiet running PC.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
