Yes, slow with it's original 5400rpm hdd-therefore I'd advise stick any ssd-be a budget one and you have handsome HTPC .
It's about the price, or even a bit cheaper than on an intel Nuc i3 that and this comes with memory , hard drive and licenced copy of Windows so looks great value.... it'll need an SSD drive and an nice clean install of Windows and it should be pretty quick.

Would this be better for a few quid more on HP? £50 discount code at top of page. More modern GPU and CPU.
It's Sunday. Assume you have time to google things up. You don't like it vote cold.as easy as that. Not gonna convince you to like it. You can get ok-ish ssd for below 40. So that's 239.97-ish. You may need a screw driver to open the case to replace it. I'd say you can ask neighbor to lend one(0 pounds) if you don't have one or can't find it. Nice day to you.

These have a free M.2 slot inside so a good option could be buy an M.2 SSD and then then you can keep the 1TB HDD for storage, also it has two RAM slots, of which only one should be filled so buy a 2nd 4GB stick for 8GB of RAM, and this is a very very nice little machine!
That is nice. I was just thinking if it has M.2, the detailed specs did not say.
DDR3 RAM is very cheap nowadays. From the size and look, I presume it is using laptop 204 pin DDR3 RAM. A 4GB stick is £15 from amazon. Just buy from amazon for peace of mind rather than save few pounds.
