The case has two side USB ports, nice and easy to access – plus the usual 4 rear ports making 6 altogether, which can be increased by adding a panel in a PCI slot.
For software we got Microsoft Office Pro, because that one includes Publisher, which I really wanted as well as Word.
I am hoping to get some Adobe software, like Premier, which I’ll need for video editing etc, can’t afford the full Adobe Suite, unfortunately, so we’ll have to go for Elements. I’ll be learning Final Edit Pro at college but as that’s Apple only, I’ll need Adobe for my own use on my PC.
I hope to actually get my hands on all this some time tomorrow or the next day, as it’s waiting for us at home…..
Then will begin the long process of installing everything… sigh….
