What's great about it: Great specs per $ spent!
What's not so great: This processor is typically used in mobile devices.
The price to features ratio is off the charts! 1TB hard drive and 6GB memory at this price point? Pretty good! The possible shortcoming here is the AMD A4-5000 processor. Not because it's an AMD, but because it's an A4-5000. As an IT reviewer also confirms, it's a processor typically used in mobile devices - not desktops. However, I'm pleasantly surprised with it's speed and capability. I've downloaded and ran iTunes, Office, Adobe, Google Earth, and others with no issues. I've even run multiple apps simultaneously with no issues. I have found that for whatever reason Chrome is faster than IE for a browser - so I use that. So while technically the IT guy is correct in saying that the processor is a weak link, it might be a bit like a Corvette owner telling a Prius owner that his car is junk. The Prius owner simply has different intentions, uses and expectations. For me, the processor has been a non-issue and my experience has been a pleasant surprise that was easy on the wallet!

HDMI out?
Does this PC have an HDMI out port? Or do I need to add a video card to get HDMI out? I do not see a picture of the connections on the back of the PC.
