On the left-hand side are a few convenience ports: two USB 3.0 ports, microphone and headphone jacks, and a multi-in-one card reader. The remaining ports are on the back--four USB 2.0 ports, ethernet, HDMI-in, and a security cable lock slot. The two USB 3.0 ports are an especially nice touch--another all-in-one we recently looked at, the , also has six USB ports, but none are USB 3.0.

The DX1215 comes with two wireless accessories, a keyboard and a mouse. The keyboard is small, smooth, and flat, with regular-style keys. Typing on the keyboard is decently comfortable, but the keys are smooth to the point of being slippery. Combine this smoothness/slipperiness with a slight stiffness, and typing accurately is a little difficult. The keyboard has a few buttons at the top--a power button (it is wireless, remember), as well as volume controls and an Eco mode button.

The mouse is shiny and rounded, and features silver accents. It's light, easy to use, and otherwise generic. But I barely paid attention to the mouse--the touchscreen was just that good.

Performance-wise, the DX1215 is okay, but not excellent, for its category (), with a WorldBench 6 benchmark score of 115. This isn't terribly surprising, given its mobile processor. By comparison, the $900 Lenovo ThinkCentre M91z has a score of 132, but the ThinkCentre has no touchscreen or wireless peripherals.

As you might expect, graphics performance isn't excellent either. But the DX1215 did perform better than the ThinkCentre--both computers rely on Intel's integrated HD graphics--with an Unreal Tournament 3 frame rate of 45.8 frames per second (medium quality settings, 1024-by-768-pixel resolution). The ThinkCentre only managed 35.9 fps in the same tests.
