This review is from: ASUS M32AD Desktop (5th Generation Core i3, 8GB DDR3, 1TB, Windows 10) with Keyboard and Mouse (Personal Computers)
I have ordered this exact system numerous times and have had absolutely ZERO problems with every one of them (total of 6 orders for customers/family). This system is well configured for the price and comes with minimal software installed. I have noticed that these systems must be updated so it’s important to know that when you first turn it on. Here’s some suggestions:
1. When first setting up, create your user account and go through the initial setup. 2. When you get to the main desktop screen and see all your icons, click the Start menu in lower left corner. 3. Choose Settings and then choose Update and Security. 4. Immediately click Check for Updates and allow all necessary updates to download/install from Microsoft. This process might take some time but allow it to complete and restart the computer when prompted. 5. After each reboot, check for updates again and be sure to keep doing this until no more updates are found. Once this process is complete, start using your computer as normal with necessary programs. A majority of the reviews I see are software related (and likely user error) and give this system a bad reputation. Now on to my review: This system is an excellent value and is configured quite well for a majority of users out there. It’s Intel Core i3 processor is powerful enough for many basic tasks, internet browsing, playing music, checking e-mail, etc. It is not geared towards gamers or users who require a lot of processing power. If you are looking for a machine to handle graphics or gaming, this isn’t the one for you (and you probably already know this). At 8 GB of RAM, this system comes out of the box with an excellent amount of RAM. The recommended amount for systems is 8 GB to handle all the latest programs and allow you the power to multitask without any hesitation. 8 GB of RAM combined with Windows 10 is a great combination and the system is upgradeable to 16 GB. 1 TB hard drives have become the norm in most desktops. While most don’t need this amount of storage space, it’s still a large enough hard drive to store all your photos and music. As with any hard drive, make sure you have proper backups of your important files. Overall, if you are looking for an inexpensive system that is well equipped, running Windows 10 and is capable of handling all your basic day to day tasks look no further than this system. At the current price of 5 you won’t find a better deal out there.

Excellent PC!
Over the last 16 years I have built 8 gaming PC’s. But this was for my 75 year old dad. So I’m not going to benchmark it, I just needed an easy to use PC for my dad. For the price, I could barely build one myself. This is a awesome PC for the price. The PC case was surprisingly VERY light and cleanly laid out. I opened the case already and was surprised at how neat, clean & simple the inside was. Great job. The mouse works smooth and I like the keyboard layout and feel. Again, simple. Another surprise is that its NOT loaded with a bunch of crap programs! I was expecting to spend several hours uninstalling Norton and other unnecessary trial programs and there were none! It was Windows 10 and some ASUS functionality programs was all. No bogging down start up programs or annoying features. Nothing to remove from Startup. A final surprise was built in WiFi. I was getting ready to plug in a cable cord and my wireless popped up before I could stand up. What an easy to use and easy to set up PC for my dad. I’m very impressed.

More about Amazon’s great service so far,

This is very preliminary – only been running for a couple of days. Seems great so far. However, my purpose is not to try to review this product, but rather Amazon’s incredible service. I ordered Wednesday and received Thursday – PC failed to launch properly. After several calls to ASUS techs (all great to work with) and one very disappointing call to Microsoft Windows help desk( very disappointing is putting it mildly), ASUS and I agreed there was a fatal problem on Friday AM after one more failed attempt to reset it. I sent a simple message to Amazon and instantly they responded that a replacement would be on my doorstep Saturday. It arrived as promised with the only thing needed from me was my agreement to allow Amazon to charge my card if they failed to get the returned item within a month. In this era of customer service deficits, Amazon stands out. The second machine is up and running – so quietly it’s hard to believe it’s running. Fast, efficient, greatly impressed so far. Oh, I had another "lack of service" call to Microsoft regarding my OWNED Office Suite for which disks are missing – MS’s answer … buy the new edition. They are the antithesis of Amazon when it comes to customer service.
