When i turn the settings down, and limit the fps to 60, it stays at a decent temperature. They work great and easily handles video encoding with the discreet graphics card. Not many problems as switched from windows 10.
For this price point, this computer has a pretty fast processer, a good amount of ram and substantial hard drive capacity. Boot time is fast. You want lights and sound go to a carnival.
Cons
There are many anti-consumer tricks here, and i'm so sad that reviewers aren't pointing them out. It's something systemic, buyer beware.
This pc is made to be non-repairable and non-upgradable. It cannot be serviced nor upgraded by normal means. It struggles with 3d rendering, and neither is it viable for cad or video editing. Because of this, its uses are severely limited.
Highlights
Quality
This computer works well; simple to set up and use, very fast and highly recommended
They work great and easily handles video encoding with the discreet graphics card.

Price
This was a good buy on sale and works great.
Nice affordable upgrade to my office pc.
After that sorry folks fork over another $1k.
(it cost about $33 - try to catch somebody doing a microsoft authored sale if you can.
Shipping
I purchased one of these a month or so ago and it was perfect for our shipping processing and order processing uses.
I chose to buy an external device and not risk sending it to texas.

Packaging/appearance
The computer was in the original packaging and it was managed beautifully then the box was in perfect condition and the compute... Read More
Competitiveness
I checked out big box stores and nobody could beat this deal.
Compared to 1st gen ibm pc included keboard is skinny and lightweight, so is mouse but, they work fine as well.
It was so frustrating and time consuming i thought of returning the darn thing and getting the competitor.
I've got to these instead of dells for the past 3 years.

The one thing that is new for me is the way the new windows operating system which is not as user friendly in my opinion as the old system

Missed the fact that there was an sid drive but no hard drive

So i guess this is not technically a gaming computer

Not exactly sure what makes that determination but i can tell you that i play world of warcraft with the highest settings and it reaches over 200 fps
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I now have it turned down to limit the fps to 60 to sync with my monitors refresh rate as suggested and it sticks at 60fps no matter what im doing in the game and i have zero lag
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
With that said when i am gaming the fan does make quite a bit of noise and the computer gets hot when i have the game set to the highest settings
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Perhaps a gaming computer would have a more robust fan or some other components to handle the requirements of a graphically intense game like world of warcraft i dont know enough about these things to say
