So after having the computer for a couple of days now, I want to give a mini-review:
The central theme to the review is about HUGE.
First things first, everything about this computer is huge! Starting with the box, its taller than my kids! I was a bit surprised as I was expecting two boxes, one for the tower and one for the accessories but I guess they managed to put it all in one box. After struggling to get a handle on it and get it upstairs to the office, the fun started. When the tower was pulled out, I was quite shocked to see how big it really is. Pictures don't tell the story as to the size and the beauty of it. It is a shiny black that shows fingerprints very easily so it needs to be handled with care.
I was a bit hesitant when I was deciding about shelling premium price for a matching keyboard and mouse but after taking them out of the box and putting the whole thing together, I am glad I did. They match perfectly! The cable management piece is worth the $10. It complements the tower very well.
The documentation that comes with it good. I read that they used put the stuff in a binder and I wish they continued that. However, I like the special account card that came with the manual.
It took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to pull the side cover to get to the unlocking mechanism. Only after I pried it open, did I realize that I could have pushed it gently to unspring the mechanism. Oh well, at least I didn't break it.
