Pros: Strong CPU Windows 7 Great Price

Cons: GPU not for gaming Need to update display driver

Overall Review: I bought 3 of these machines to have available for neighborhood kids who want to learn programming and graphics design. A lot of that is tied in with a popular game so I was holding my breath on whether they would be able to handle the work. The CPU is fairly strong - Windows Experience Index rates it at a 6.4 of 7.9 which surprised me. When I loaded the game it didn't run properly which didn't make sense to me, based on how fast everything else seemed to work. So, I took a few minutes, went over to Intel's website (http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect) and ran the Driver Update Utility. It found a new driver to download for the graphics chipset and suddenly the game starting working at a full frame rate. That said, the graphics engine on these machines is not very powerful. People need to realize they are buying an older machine when they buy these and have their expectations set accordingly. The included keyboards seem to be cheaply made and I have a couple with keys that don't work. No big deal, I will find a couple more keyboards from Goodwill. Also, the three machines that I had turned out to have Western Digital Blue hard drives in them which was a nice surprise to see.
