Hardware is great, pre-installed software not so much
The computer itself is absolutely fine and I have no complaints regarding the hardware.
However, the pre-installed (Windows 10 Pro) is not impressive and there are a few issues one of which is quite bothering, namely the option to adjust the screen brightness has been completely disabled. I've tried numerous things, including resetting the OS, but the screen brightness option is simply missing. I even installed virtualbox and ran Linux through it but the option for adjusting the screen brightness is still missing.
Also, the USB ports are constantly disconnecting and re-connecting even after I reinstalled and updated all drivers. Last but not least the monitor itself seems to be OK from hardware perspective but it constantly "blinks" when I am highlighting text and often when I am typing in the browser the text is playing (e.g., disappearing partially) - the actual text is there but it just appears distorted.
As I said, the hardware seems to be just fine and the machine looks almost like new but my biggest problem is with being unable to control the screen brightness (I think it has been set to 50% but there is no way for me to find out).
