Is the Core Ultra 7 256V fast enough for office work?

Yes. It has eight cores and handles Office, browsers with many tabs, video calls and light photo editing comfortably. Sustained heavy workloads like 3D rendering or large video exports will feel slow.

Can I upgrade the memory or storage later?

The machine ships with 16GB of memory and a 512GB M.2 2280 SSD. All-in-ones of this type have limited internal access, so plan on the 512GB drive being your main storage and add external drives for large files.

Only lightly. Intel Arc 140V integrated graphics runs older and less demanding titles at reduced settings. It is not a gaming machine and has no dedicated GPU.

Does it come with a keyboard and mouse?

Yes. A USB Calliope Gen 3 keyboard and mouse are included, so the machine is usable out of the box.

Is it good for video calls and meetings?

It is a reasonable choice: a 27-inch screen makes split windows and shared documents easy to read, and the Core Ultra 7 has the headroom for conferencing software alongside other apps. A separate webcam is needed if the model you buy does not include one.

How does it compare with a tower and separate monitor?

It saves desk space and cabling, and the screen is matched to the hardware. A tower gives you easier upgrades and dedicated graphics options, which this all-in-one does not offer.
