Customer Reviews

This computer was only loaded with the essentials and the settings are configure to make this computer run as fast as possible. I purchased this computer so I could surf the internet on my plasma tv in my family room. I bought a wireless router and a cordless keyboard and mouse, and they all work flawlessly with it. It made my life alot more simpler then running to another room to grab the laptop or desktop when I needed to look something up. Also love streaming netflix movies to my tv, as well as hulu. It was a great deal for what I needed to use it for. Now, If I could just teach my dog to fetch me potato chips, Id never have to get off the couch...Life is good!

After reading peoples reviews on the Gx280 it seems to be a common problem with the cpu fan. I plan to try an aftermarket adjustable fan to quiet it down. note: in a retail business the fan noise could be aceptable, but at home its a distraction.
