And a Just wow! experience with Amazon Customer Service. I ordered the mini PC directly from the manufacturer. I ordered the monitor from Amazon. It's a teleconferencing monitor. After setting everything up, I was disappointed that the integrated camera and microphone did not function well. I contacted Amazon and asked for a replacement. Within a day and a half the new monitor arrived and it works perfectly. 

I am indeed happier with the mini PC than I would have been with the All-in-One. Thanks again!  Big Grin

Curious about which one you got.  Windows PC?  How big is the monitor?

I have been a Fan of ASUS for a long time so, I went with the Chromebox 5A and the monitor is also ASUS. The model is BE34E. The screen is 23.8."
