Overall Feedback:

87% liked the numerous connectivity options, but 13% found them limited
I faced issues with the wireless keyboard and mouse and had to switch to wired ones to resolve the issue.
I don't have built-in wireless or Bluetooth on my computer.
If you plan to use WiFi, order a WiFi adapter along with it.
I could not connect the old and outdated 802.11N wireless USB WiFi adaptor that came with my computer to my Wi-Fi no matter what I tried.

92% praised for its efficient cooling system, though 8% experienced overheating issues
After a couple of weeks of using the machine, the CPU and mainboard started running hot with unpredictable temperature spikes ranging from 40s C to 95 C.
94% appreciated the stunning graphics performance, while 6% experienced frame rate issues
The integrated graphics chip is not suitable for heavy video editing or anything beyond light gaming. It's not what I was looking for.
If you plan on playing modern triple AAA games, you'll need to upgrade the graphics card as the graphics card RAM is only 128 MB.
I don't recommend it for graphics gaming as it doesn't have a discrete video card.
97% liked the customizable lighting and sleek design
The computer has a small form factor that fits on my desk.
92% liked the generous memory and storage capacity
I installed a super-fast SSD as my system drive with enough space for additional data storage. I also added a 2TB M.2 SSD for future storage needs.
91% praised for its whisper-quiet operation, though 9% found it noisy
At times, the fan goes into hypersonic mode and gets really noisy, which is bothersome for me.
I had to reset the fan control in the BIOS to keep it cranked all the time, but it was loud.
87% appreciated the reliable power supply, though 13% experienced power issues
There is no noise or heat.
I noticed that the unit was missing a power cord and computer monitor adapter, despite having all the necessary hardware.
93% praised for its blistering processing speed, while 7% experienced slowdowns
As a developer, I can say that my computer easily covers my needs with decent processing power and a good amount of RAM.
I have done video editing and processed movie cuts over 5 hours long with no issues, indicating that my computer has good processing power.
My CPU and mainboard started running hot after a couple of weeks of usage.
For heavy video editing or anything beyond light gaming, the integrated graphics chip is not suitable.
92% appreciated the easy upgradability options, though 8% found it difficult
I need an upgrade for my small 3D printing business because of my outdated laptop.
The computer's low price is due to its inability to upgrade to Windows 11.
