Here's an Asus Vivo V241 AiO. Unused, original purchase price $1800.

It's been unboxed, inspected, booted up, shut down & reboxed., That's it. Receipt available.

Specs:
Display: 23.8" FHD LED Touchscreen with near invisible 2mm display bezel
CPU: Intel Core i5-1135G7 @ 4.20GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR4 (upgradeable)
Storage: 512GB NVMe (upgradeable)
Graphics: Radeon Vega 8
Connectivity: 1x HDMI-in, 1 x HDMI-out, 4 x USB 3.2 Type A, Bluetooth, WiFi 6, etc.
Audio: ASUS SonicMaster bass-reflex speaker system
OS: Windows 10 Professional
HID: Asus Wireless Keyboard & Mouse

Asus marketing has plenty of effusive waffle that we don't need to read. If you're looking for an excellent Home/Office desktop machine that looks good, performs well & works quietly it's hard to go past this. Especially at half price. GZ sale price $900.

Pick up is in Auckland - Botany area.

I'm curious, does it make a difference?

In this case the company owner passed unexpectedly. His heirs decided to shut the business & sell off the assets. I bought the Asus AIO purely to resell.

People ask that to see if it appears to be a legit sale and not a scam/stolen item. I'd be the same TBH with someone with a high end item selling cheap :)

 

Not you tho :D

Thanks, I am considering whether this could replace a very old AIO my father-in-law is using.

 

 

 

I asked about the reason for sale as occasionally this question brings out a subjective opinion which can be informative. E.g. "fan too noisy for me". Or I want to understand why a new product is offered at a discount when it could have been returned to the retailer for a full refund (less restocking fee?)

As an upgrade replacement for a previous gen AIO, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a substantially better PC, Asus make quality products. When you consider the price, there's a compelling argument for this PC.

I didn't notice irritating fan noise nor any other annoyances when it was booted up - although this was for around 5 minutes total. Online reviews don't single out any particular deficiency either.

I did not suggest the return to retailer possibility - purely because that would remove my opportunity. The PC was delivered several weeks before I got to it.

Is it a silver or gold coloured unit?
