It's a decent size; 1TB, but Windows 10 was ground to a halt by the HD taking forever to access
As expected w/ the mechanical hard drive it runs like a dog.- Love the size
First - this little computer is zippy and it's a very nice compact size which my wife definitely appreciated
TLDR: this amazingly small computer with a powerful full-size desktop CPU is completely hamstrung by the crappy hard drive it ships with
It is NOT a hardcore gaming machine but IS a tremendous desktop lab & business PC that can do everything a box five times its size is capable of if you tweak it a wee bit.
I see that many units seem to be working great, so I guess it is a crap shoot.
I was a little concerned that it wouldn't work well with linux, but less than an hour after opening the box, I was sitting in front of a fresh Debian install working away and compiling code.
What I can't believe is how small it is and how great it is working for me
The good:- System works great, I got a dell 38" curved monitor at the same time and had a minor heart attack when I was only able to get 30hz refresh rate w/ a HDMI cable.

I read that someone else had fixed the problem by deleting the main partition on the disk and doing a fresh install of windows 10
Impulse purchase that saves the life of my workstation and downtime from fresh installing Win 10.
all in all I spent 3 days getting this thing to work as it is supposed to

System died and windows would not restart or reset, just going in loops, all within first hour of usage
Fortunately, the system fired up and works flawlessly, if a little noisy

Although the computer has worked without a hitch thus far, the wireless keyboard did not work out of the box
all in all I spent 3 days getting this thing to work as it is supposed to
Second, the wireless keyboard and mouse require a dongle that was not included, (not a real problem as I really didn't like the small form factor keyboard.
I am sure they calculate that people will not return the computer just because they sent a worthless keyboard
Then the very next day the wireless keyboard that comes with the unit died.
