Pros:Value, Performance, and Price
Cons:Short standard warranty
Full user opinion
The setup, installation, and performance met all my requirements for a desktop replacement and the low price made it an easy decision to replace a low end desktop. Warranty upgraded to 1 year. It also runs very quietly.
