Physical setup, assembly/disassembly is clean. A nicely designed box. Wifi, ethernet and display graphics all work out of the box without any fuss. All Ubuntu applications we use all work cleanly and without error.Use case is as a shared system, switching between multiple users logged in at once, but only one being active at a time.Boots and reboots quickly. Actual performance (speed of application startup, consumption of CPU and memory resources) is below expectation. Performs more like a 3ghz single core system than a quad core. All CPU's ramp up in concert, unlike my FX processor where one CPU can be at 100% while the others are much lower. The system bottlenecks fairly quickly when running multiple GUI applications such as Chrome, spreadsheets, etc. Slows to a crawl when loading GnuCash. 4gb RAM installed gives 3.2gb usable memory. Go for 8gb (the max), as with three people logged on (each running an instance of Chrome) RAM usage is u 90%.As our office is very small, the size of this computer helps out a lot in physical space conservation.

I have bought this ZBOX as a HTPC and it works very well. I am using Xubuntu (Linux) and it allows me to do everything I need to (surf the web, download, transfer files to my media box, watch videos online, and more).Overall I am very happy and would definitely purchase again. If you plan on using this for watching HD videos, you may want to get a slightly more powerful machine, though I found this was adequate for me as I can put up with good, but not 100% perfect HD videos.
