Pros: None so far.

Cons: This computer came with a ton of bloatware/malware installed in addition, no windows disc and a corrupted windows installation.

The problems I have experienced are too myriad to list here. Suffice to say, this was the 16th home computer I have purchased in my lifetime, and never before have I run into such a total nightmare. I have wasted thus far, over 80 hours troubleshooting, or waiting on hold for customer support.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Jeff,

The preinstalled software or what you could bloatware/malware, doesn't affect system performance and stability so it's OK to leave them there. But if you wanted to uninstall these, you are free to do so. The unit doesn't come with a recovery disks but you can restore the system to factory settings by running the recovery image from the hidden partition. Should you need further technical assistance, please email me at cl-rodel@asus.com and write down service# N150357653 on the subject line.

Thank you for choosing an ASUS product.

Pros: The computer is quiet which is helpfull when listening to music. Startup when booting is relatively fast, same with shutdown.
Happy with the general operation of the system.

Cons: One of the two pcie extension slot is not available due to a bad design of the mainboard. The video card is obstructing one of the slot because of it's cooling system.

Pros: System is very Quiet. Excellent Processor i7 4790S (Quad Core is always best! Remember even though it's 8 thread it is still just a Quad Core.). Yes it is 64-bit OS Windows 7 Home Premium and that is more than perfect. It can work for a decent gaming Machine. Has the Nvidia GeForce GT 705. (I know it's not really that high end).

Cons: Only flaw was the RAM wasn't as good as I though it would be. One 4 Gig RAM and One 8 Gig Ram. (Yeah....they didn't even it)
Nvidia GeForce GT 705 - It's just not that powerful of a card. It's good but not great. So it's generally a basic Graphics card that can support most games out there.

Other Thoughts: Over all I am pleased with this system. I built my personal computer over 7 years ago and finally handing it off to the kids. You may want to do like me with this machine. Go ahead and buy it. If you are bit of a gamer like me then you will want to shop around after you get this machine for 2 x 8Gb DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900). Also upgrade the graphics card when you get a chance and you will be set. Alone it is a beautiful machine that will play just about everything that is out there now.
