For the price of a decent monitor, you get a workstation style PC, fit for word processing, web browsing and a little youtube or HUKDing :wink: with a monitor at 1080p, 60fps, 5ms, from a reliable brand like Acer, delivered to your door in 1-2 days. That is bloody brilliant.

Not really, rubbish processor. Cheaper at Amazon too, although the hard drive is half the size
There isn't much info on the monitor though, but for the price it doesn't seem too bad for a simple home computer.

1080p 60hz 5ms according to Amazon Q and A. Monitor is selling for around 90~100 mark but now can't find the link to the q and a page.
If it suits your needs in a work station this is pretty good.

The processor is god awful, but for the price it's cheaper than an iPad so what you gonna do. As long as you won't do any gaming whatsoever this will be fine for facebook/youtube/web browsing. Perfect for a kid who wants their own computer. But literally no gaming whatsoever, I think even football manager wouldn't work with this.

Yeah, his is a good deal. Just think if someone fancies this PC they are in a tight budget, they may want to save even more.

So this wouldn't play games like Portal? Or Amnesia etc?
I'm not wanting a powerful gaming PC, just want one to play yesteryears Steam games I own. Anything high powered I'll use a console for.
If this would struggle with those games though, I'll give it a miss.
Voted hot though either way.

It uses integrated graphics, R2 6110, and judging from youtube clips it seems everything would have to be put on the lowest settings. Definitely wouldn't be able to make full use of the 1080p monitor. Good for word processing/ web browsing , bad for games in the last 5 years.

What a stupid comment, the processor has a TDP of 15W and an average CPU mark score of 1873. Reference.
Please enlighten us as to a similar CPU with similar power usage and performance for a similar price.

How did you benchmark this? And link for reference?

The power supply is probably around the 200W mark too so not suitable for gaming GPU's Ref: New version has 220W PSU
edit: according to the PSU is 220W. The motherboard has a PCIe slot, BUT its not a full size slot so any GPU you could fit in there wouldn't be much of an upgrade.
I wish this came without the monitor and windows, and drop the price to £100. I'd buy two.

The full refurb version of this is also available for £169 if nobody minds that. Everything included as in this one.
