Title: Good system for Business Purposes
Review: I like the ASUS brand. You can tell it is a cut above products like HP, Dell, especially Microsoft (which I don't usually buy unless I must do it). This is particularly true when it comes to upgrading. The peripherals and computer were well-packed and organized. The system is easy to start up, which indicates great quality assurance for this product (I also bought an ASUS laptop for the same reasons). The system I bought is a standard business model: i7, 16Gb Ram, model. Perfect for my needs: Spreadsheet work, business tasks (writing, analysis, data management/analysis, some web design as I maintain two business webpages for very different purposes, etc.). I do not game at all; my POV: I don't find it pleasurable, and I don't need it for problem-solving or artistic design, so I have no review of this capability. The speed of delivery was good, as I expected. The price is excellent; my second choice is Lenovo, but still, If I can get an ASUS product within 10% of a similar Lenovo device, I purchase ASUS every time. There are other brands that might be better (MSI, Alienware), but I would only buy these if I was a gamer or had a specialized need.

Title: Good value and easy to setup
Review: This was the easiest computer to setup that I've owned. Asus and Windows 11 made it that way. I have two monitors. The computer has one HDMI and one RGP port. Get the right converter for your monitors and they work fine. The footprint is nice and small. I'm very happy with it.

Title: Dead on arrival!
Review: Arrived very quickly and in unusually great shape. Had that electronic fried smell to it. Plugged everything in and pressed the start button. Screen flashed and went black. Hard drive button flashed for 10 min nothing. Tried resetting this time screen filled with lines then black. Called support just to find that they didn't know enough to do a hard reboot. Offered to have me send in for repair. RETURNING TO AMAZON! Asus put out a fried computer and support is the worst.

Title: Great budget computer
Review: I got this as part of the Amazon Prime Deals Days in October. It pretty much is as advertised - a budget desktop with very solid specs. Who makes a computer with 1TB internal hard drive AND a DVD drive anymore? Well done, Asus.Setup was super fast and easy, and I got all my software reinstalled quickly enough. No problems there. It runs very well for multitasking - I'm typing this review and surfing the web while streaming live TV at the same time. I saw some reviews claiming that the motherboard or CPU die after a few months. I've only had it for a day or three so I can't speak to that, and if they do die, I'll update the review. For now, though, it runs like a champ even under a fairly heavy load.One or two people were complaining about the poor wi-fi / internet connections. This is true, if you're not smart enough to connect the external wi-fi antenna that comes packaged with the computer (see the fourth photograph - and forgive the dust all over my printer; I rarely use that one except for disc printing when I'm authoring DVDs and blu rays). My guess is to keep costs down Asus went with an external wi-fi antenna. That's not an issue for me at all, especially since it's a small device that sticks to the case with a magnet.I did not stand mine up; I have it on its side under the monitor (as seen in the photo) which provides better access for the DVD drive, though even if you stand it upright, the drive holds the disc secure enough that having it vertical shouldn't be an issue.Now, the down-side. There's only a single HDMI port on the back of the system, and no USB-C ports at all. This means running dual monitors (my preference) will be a challenge. There is an old-fashioned monitor serial port on the back, which may work if you have a monitor that will still allow that form of interface. Still, the lack of multiple HDMI ports and especially the lack of USB-C ports in a modern system, cheap or not, is a bit of a disappointment and the first reason why I did not give this five stars.Secondly, this IS, in fact, Windows 11 HOME, not Pro. Upgrading to Pro is possible through the Microsoft Store, but carries a charge of $99 (your product key is NOT a pro product key). Now, for most users, this is not a problem because there's literally nothing Pro offers that your average home user needs. Still, since it's advertised as a spec and it doesn't come that way, again, downgrade from five stars.The packaged peripherals - the keyboard and mouse - are basic and functional. I have an old HP keyboard with more functionality that I swapped out, but again, for most folks, these are plenty serviceable. The keyboard is a bit sloppy to type on, but again, you can use any old keyboard and mouse here, and to me, getting a basic keyboard and mouse is a bonus.So far as I can tell, save for the Windows Home vs. Pro issue, this machine is 100% as advertised. Asus is a pretty good manufacturer, so I have high hopes it'll last me awhile.

Title: Simply Blown Away !!!
Review: I was thoroughly impressed with everything the ASUS PC offered, and even found a few surprises. One surprise was its DVD reader; despite many reviews claiming its absence, my model included one, seamlessly integrated into the front panel design—though I'll likely never use it. Contrary to other reviews stating it had Windows 11 Home, my unit came with the Pro version. I appreciate the compact size, a stark contrast to my previous, much larger gaming tower. I had considered an Alienware machine but am pleased with my decision to go with this ASUS PC. It provides all the memory and storage I could need. I'm extremely satisfied and confident that this affordable ASUS PC will serve me well for many years to come.

Title: Does not even start
Review: It is cheap for a good reason. It is a waste of time and money. Does not start, and if it suddenly it does, it is impossible to have a connection to any screen (hdmi). Totally useless. I do not understand how they can put this on the market. No QC check at all. I am so disappointed with ASUS. I have bought a few computers from them and they all turned out to be useless (that's the 3rd one, laptops and desktops). I do not see this company last very long....
