Quick TL;DR at the bottom :)
I'm liking this PC so far. I wanted to have a compact computer that can stream movies, handle Zoom hangouts, and do some light browsing. I don't have a huge desk space so the form factor is great for me. I haven't really gamed with it but I think it should be able to handle really light gaming. The video card is built-in so don't expect to play intensive games.
The PC itself is pretty lightweight but the build quality feels decent. It's made of plastic on the outside and has a good amount of ventilation slits. I eventually plan to mount the PC to the back of my monitor to save even more space. There's enough ports as well, with USB-C to connect new devices. I haven't needed to use any of the ports except the HDMI cable. I used the Bluetooth features to connect my keyboard/mouse which connected smoothly.
The computer boots up pretty quickly since it has an SSD. I timed my bootup at about 15 seconds to get to the login screen. Then another 15 seconds after logging in. So ~30 second boot time. Not bad. I will upgrade the SSD in the future if I need to. The version I have is the 500gb version so a pretty decent amount of space. I have the 8gb Ram version too which helps a lot with the speediness. I would avoid 4gb since Chrome takes up a lot of Ram if your usage are similar to mine.
The WIFI connection is stable and can do both 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I connected the PC to my 5ghz network and had no issues with streaming Netflix in 4k. My Zoom hangouts didn't lag either so that was great!
One thing I don't like about this PC is that the power cord could be longer. It's a bit short so depending on your power outlet location, you might need a power strip or extension cord.
TL;DR - This is a good computer for the price. It's powerful for moderate uses such as streaming, web browsing, or Zoom video hangouts. This computer cannot handle intensive graphic work or intense video games.
