Good but with work

I got this system on sale and got a good deal but if you are buying the system for gameing like I was be aware there is a connection there you will not find on any other power supply so you will have to be comfortable doing some splicing and modding to get the connection to work with a new power supply. it is called a p9 connector on the Lenovo power supply also you will have to do some bios adjustments to get a newer videocard to work. I was useing a 660 gtx and had to get a uefi firmware upgrade to get it to work and that was after bios work disableing secureboot and enableing legacy boot options. This is a nice machine overall but be aware of these things if you plan to install a larger power supply and video card. These are not Lenovo problems these are windows 8 problems that have to be worked around till there is a fix. just check the Lenovo forums for more info.

THIS COMPUTER IS FAST AND I LOVE WINDOWS 8

This is an upgrade from a amd 2800 xp machine. The difference is night and day. After a month I am still amazed at how fast my programs open as well as how fast this computer starts up. This machine allows me to use many features of Photoshop my other computer could not handle. I am using this computer for editing and rendering HD video and it handles the task with out any waiting. I am very happy with this purchase and as always the purchase and delivery were fast. This is not a super duper speed machine and I don't play video games so I can not comment on that, but for my needs it works great. By the way I have Office 2003 and Photoshop CS4 Extended installed on this machine and despite what the compatibility site tells you they both run just fine on Windows 8 64 bit.

Great deal for normal gaming and internet

I found this to be a great value for the money. Works well. No issues to date. Ive been using for over a month now.

Powerful machine at a great price

Super quiet, beautiful graphics, and so much faster than the XP it replaces. My only cons are the lack of a DVI-D port on the graphics card (had to buy an HDMI to DVI cable to use my monitor). I edit video so must have firewire ports (none included) to connect to my prosumer camcorders.

Works Great for me and my needs

I had been searching for many months for well priced machine that gave me the most for my money. I've had this system for the last 4 months and it has always surprised me on its performance and graphics weren't bad either. I edit video and my rendering process has gone for taking about an hour down to about 5 to 10minutes. This system ROCKS!
