Seems to be a decent vfm desktop PC. Only a couple left, but seem to be going in and out of stock all day. The price (£264.74) will show once you add to basket. Argos are currently offering 15% off certain items and this is one of them.

ive just read up on this, it seems it does not have HDMI, only what ive read here >>>>
Yeah I saw that. But the answers to some of the questions seem to indicate it does? Plus the following PDF from CPC also states it does have a HDMI. Not sure now tbh.

Circa 2012 CPU, so compartively old stock, this comes with an Ivybridge generation CPU and nothing wrong with that, just that the HD 2500 is comparatively poor compared to the Intel HD graphics that came with the subsequent generations of CPU - Haswell, Broadwell (albeit there are not i3 Broadwell desktop CPUs, yet), and now Skylake. Also the motherboard is possibly lacking features that you might find useful. I think if it was sub £200, it would be a semi okay deal for the 1tb hard drive and 8GB of memory, but at £267, I'm struggling a bit to see the appeal?

ORDERED! LAST ONE AVAILABLE! Thanks.
It was perfect for my use and l needed it now rather than waiting for maybe a slightly better price/spec. Argos is a good place to buy from anyway. Thanks again for your post.

Just bought this (below) Dell Outlet PC a couple of hours ago on impulse, comes with a Xeon E5-2650L v3 twelve core processor and Win 8.1Pro for just £238 which seems a bargain but I know nothing about Xeon CPU's so not sure if it will be more hassle than it's worth - with a decent GPU and another 4gb of ram would it be any good for gaming? It also says DDR3 but that can't be right, isn't it DDR4 with this CPU?

These desktops usually come with i5/i7s. So its probably a mistake in the description.

Its a Mini-Tower Chassis so means only half sized GPUs.

It certainly looks like a mistake although there were three for sale when I bought it, the others two weren't scratch and dent like the one I went for. Shall have to see what they send.
