This is not a gaming machine but more for work, study and light entertainment, without a powerful dedicated NVIDIA graphics card but the low-end Intel HD 530 GPU with shared memory that is about 25% faster than Intel HD 4600 GPU you may be familiar with. Intel HD 530 is a fairly decent one for an integrated graphics card that can run the older titles fluently but the more demanding titles of 2015/2016 at reduced settings. It also includes the standard Intel HD Audio but the sound performance will depend on the speakers’ quality- on the screen or external speakers. There is obviously no monitor included but a standard keyboard and mouse that do the job.

This is a capable compact desktop that can handle both the basic tasks like running Microsoft Office, email, streaming videos and playing songs and can even perform the demanding stuff like running multimedia programs thanks to the Skylake Intel i5 processor but generally speaking it is more for those that want something fast and powerful for work and play. 128GB SSD on this unit is good for both speed and performance, is not the fastest but is much better than a mechanical drive and for extra storage you can connect an external one to one of the six USB ports. It is very easy to set up and use like a straight plug-and-play computer, is very fast with a modern advanced quad core i5 processor and Solid State Drive and is built to last with a sturdy heavy-duty construction. Overall it is a good value value compact desktop PC for the price level concerned.
