ASUS ExpertCenter D500SA Small Form Factor Desktop PC, Intel Core i5-10400, 12GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB PCIe SSD, Wi-Fi 6, TPM, Windows 10 Professional, Black, D500SA-AB501

I attempted to build a machine with similar specs for a similar price, but all I really needed was this.
- low-profile case with a clean appearance and a plethora of I/O portsbr>- a DVD playerbr> br> br> br> b a strong built-in wireless network (this computer even comes with an antenna)br>- good power supply for my Radeon Pro card (this is still to be determined, but I will update if there are any issues)br>- At least six physical cores were required. br>- a minimum of 8 GB of RAM (I was thinking 16, but 12 will suffice)br>- I got all of this, plus Windows 10 Professional with a decent keyboard and mouse combo. br>br>I got all of this, plus Windows 10 Professional with a decent keyboard and mouse combo. I got the best deal I could on Amazon by putting together my own components for $900, and even then, I was getting features I didn't need while losing features I did. Asus's built-in Audio Wizard app is the best I've seen from any manufacturer. There is almost no bloating. Except for McAffe Anti-Virus, there was no other software installed. Removing the object as soon as possible. Even when I play Ages of Empires 2 Definitive Edition - it makes almost no noise. It does not get hot. EDIT: br>br> On it, my Radeon Pro WX3200 performs flawlessly. It was extremely simple to open the case, install it, and close it again. I like how the drives are hidden inside; my budget-friendly workstation is now complete, and I am very pleased:.

First and foremost, I'd like to state that Asus is a fantastic company that produces excellent products. I've been buying from them for nearly two decades and have never had a complaint. The Asus expert center d500sa is a business computer from Asus. However, if you need to get a computer up and running quickly, this is not the computer for you. For starters, the Windows 10 product key is not included with the computer. To obtain the product key, you must contact Asus customer service. The hard drive is partitioned in such a way in Windows 10 that you can't extend the C drive to get the full space of the hard drive, which in my case is 500GB. I have yet to receive the product key from Asus support, and the hard drive is partitioned in such a way in Windows 10 that you can't extend the C drive to get the full space of the hard drive, which in my case is 500GB. The C drive and the D drive are separated by a 1 GB recovery partition, which must be deleted if the C drive is to be expanded. In the event of a catastrophic failure, there is no recovery software, which must be purchased from a third party. I bought these with the intention of removing the hard drive, replacing it with a larger solid state drive, reinstalling the operating system, and installing it on a desktop in one day. However, this is not possible on these computers. Asus thinks that locking down hardware with software is a good idea. After uninstalling Asus Business Manager, my computer no longer supports USB devices. I tried everything I could think of to uninstall the USB host controller and other device manager items, but it didn't work. I went to the Microsoft store as advised by the Asus website, only to discover that the Asus business manager was no longer available. I'm no longer in my thirties. I'm stuck with a business computer that can't help my customer replace a failed computer quickly because of the 30-day return policy. br>br>Purchase a Dell business computer for yourself. A Dell business PC's bios contains the Windows 10 professional product key. The only reason I bought these two Asus computers was because of the price point that I received from Amazon. You can pull the hard drive, reinstall a new one, and have your customer back in business in under two hours. The Dell Optiplex small form factor business PC, which costs around $750, is much more expensive at $529. I didn't think I could go wrong with this PC, which has a 10th-generation Intel Core i5 processor that benchmarks at over 13,000 points. But I was mistaken, as I've been working on these issues for the past two days. Finally, if you need to install computers quickly in a medical setting, don't waste your time or money on these computers, especially now that the pandemic is still active.

I could only get a lower resolution using the HDMI port, while using the Digital Display Port gave me the correct resolution but a flickering display. When I called customer service, I had to call several times to reach the correct department, and they weren't able to share the data they collected between departments, which was inefficient. The final response was that the computer was unable to support this resolution, with no other options for resolution other than purchasing a new computer. a superior computer I also sent an e-mail to Asus. I sent an email and received a response stating that the requested resolution could be run, with the recommendation to update the bios and run the Windows 10 recovery. Given the contradictory messaging, I decided not to try it and instead purchased a graphics card (GPU). You must order a "low profile" version of this computer because it does not accept standard size. Furthermore, power is extremely limited, and I was unable to locate a power-supply source. I ended up buying a GT1030 (buy one with DDR5 memory for the same price and twice as fast as the DDR4 version) for $80 because they are very low power (don't require a power cable) and available in slim format. It's a very low-cost option. It's not a high-end card, so don't expect to play the latest games on it, but it can display 3440x1440 without issue. I believe the integrated chip should be capable of driving this resolution, so I'm not sure what my issue was. Although the system is reasonably priced, - 1 star for graphics performance, and another - for overall performance. Poor customer service receives a score of one out of ten.
