Question 1

This make seem like a dumb question, but i would like to know if i need to but a wifi adapter to get wireless wifi on the g10ac?
I really want to get this desktop but since i only have access to wireless network i am really concerned. Thank you.

Accepted Answer

It came with an external antenna. Make sure you plug in the antenna otherwise the wifi will not be able to pick up the signal unless you right next to the router.

I use it currently with the provided antenna and have no issues with the wireless.

Question 2

I was so excited to get my Asus, but alas connected it to my monitor and no signal! Bought a newer monitor for the HDMI and still no signal! Anyone else have this problem?

Accepted Answer

Make sure you plug into the video card port, and not the motherboard port. The video card one is closer to the bottom and horizontal. When I plugged into the mother board port (near the middle and vertical), I was having a similar issue. Hope this helps!

Question 3

i need 500GB hard disk, will it possible?

Accepted Answer

Newegg was out of stock when I ordered this item. In fact, they did not tell me that until several days after I had already paid. Thus, I would not be able to tell you if their computer would meet that specification.

Question 4

this machine comes with 8gb of memory.  what is the maximum memory capacity?

Accepted Answer

If you are referring to RAM, I'm fairly sure the G10 series is expandable up to 32GB's. The Hard Drive comes as 1TB, segmented into a C and D drive, though.

Question 5

What is the name of the ASUS wifi antenna that comes with this model?

Accepted Answer

The adapter seems to be an in-house ASUS antenna. I can't find it anywhere online though, and there was no info on the packaging. Sorry I can't get the product name.

I'm really satisfied with the antenna though. It doesn't use a USB for it's connection, which is very nice because it's not taking up a port. It connects directly in to the network card, with a good 2+ foot cable.

And it works extremely well. My computer is located at the top of a two floor home, as far away from the router as possible. With 5 other users, with multiple devices, and a house worth of interference, I still get a 2-10 MBps download rate.

My previous computer(an early 2008 Macbook pro) could barely find the network at this range. But, with this free antenna I have full signal! Quite literally a 1000% increase in Download speeds.

Question 6

Question 7

Accepted Answer

500w

Question 8

Is there an HDMI port?  My son wants to use his flat screen television as the monitor.

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is a very good gaming computer for newer video games from 2013.
If he is going to plug this computer to a TV monitor through HDMI. MAKE SURE THE TV's "refresh rate" IS SMALL. '1 ms' is the best refresh rate.

There is a computer monitor that I highly recommend for gaming "VG248QE" google this model number and look at the specs for this monitor. It also has HDMI.
