This computer is a replacement for a dead desktop. While I plan to purchase a desktop in the future (I am old school and do HD video production), this computer has an excellent video card and processor. Wife is amazed as to how much faster it is compared to our old desktop -- and it is MUCH faster than my dual core that work provides. Highly recommended.
