The ASUS bloatware included cost me several hours of diagnosing a conflict with some Windows software (Microchip PicKit3) that just didn't work on this computer (but worked on many others) until I uninstalled the ASUS software. Do yourself a favor and...

Used as media player

I installed openELEC on this machine, using some memory I already had and a 4GB flash drive as the only storage ; Plays movies and streaming media quite well over wired Ethernet

getting the case open to install memory requires some care and patience

Very durable

We use this product in our factory. There is a lot of dirt and debris and these machines run just fine. We've been using the ASUS All-in-one's for over a year now in our environment and not a single one has gone down.

Works Great!

Small enough to be placed practically anywhere. Reliable and fast enough for basic workstation use

Could do without all the extra Asus software

Just what I needed for Plex

I really bought this for one main goal, to view my Plex content in the least expensive but most full featured way possible. Plex is a media streaming software that lets me see my videos on any device. Since I already had some small hard drives and...

COMMENT IS ABOUT FOREIGN CUSTOMER SERVICE

My review is not about this product, it is about foreign based customer service. It takes me twice as long to get a problem solved when i am talking to foreign customer service reps. Whatever I am calling about, a router, cell phone, credit card,...
