The good: The Asus Essentio CM6870 is a reasonably well-equipped mainstream PC that is one of the first to feature Intel's new third-generation (aka Ivy Bridge) Core i7 CPUs.
The bad: This boring commodity desktop has little to recommend it over similar systems, and Asus also focused too much on pleasing everyone with the configuration.
The bottom line: Intel's new CPUs are the most compelling feature in this new Asus Essentio CM6870 desktop. Otherwise, it's just another midtower.

Summary: Took over 45 minutes to get me into BIOS and then I chose a setting which finally took it to Windows. Aso ASUS would not shut down even acted like it was trying to do so all night Put in 3 different emails for help. Was always an email that told they'd answer within 48 hours. No answer ever! Nor can I find a phone number for help from them within this 1st month./ Awful- NO HELP! Unless you are really experience in all computer softward and hardware, do not buy. I am in the medium category.
