I am really happy about the performance from this machine. First off let me give you some support that may help make the purchase a better buy for you. In my experience people give up really easily on a product and I fear that this may be a product that people will give up on. After having an issue with the first one I purchased in setting up the computer I returned it and got another device. I had the same problem with the second one. It appears that the setup is flawed on some of the computers and you get stuck in a "this may take a moment" boot-loop. What happens is when you select your customization from the setup you get to the very last step and then the computer errors out and reboots. Then you are stuck in the loop. To save you time after talking with windows support you just need to power off the device and power it on again 4 times. Then you will get to the recovery...

I've got four macs (MacPro, Mini, iMac, Laptop) and only Macs at work.
Feature for feature this computer beat EVERYTHING out. A somewhat equivalent Mac is $3600 with no touchscreen
Works like a charm Would have given it 5 stars if it had a built-in number pad causing me to get an external.
Good durability and customer support. Better guarantee than Apple. (can't believe I bought a friggin PC.....)
I run Music Composition and Production Software. Ableton-Sibelius-Protools
