Unless I'm missing something it looks perfectly usable to me as a basic machine. Sure it's no i9 but it's nowhere near as bad as some of you guys are making out.
Surely if anything the lack of SSD is going to be the bottleneck in the system not the CPU.
It's perfectly adequate as a machine for the kids to mess about on and at £200 it's not going to break the bank.

The CPU in that is so slow you could replace it with a picture of a CPU and outperform it.
If you buy this I assure you, you'll know what eternity feels like when simply trying to even load the web browser, that's after waiting about 3 hours for it to actually boot windows fully, why AMD even created this awful excuse for a CPU is beyond me, it's not fit to be in a calculator let alone an entire computer.

Ffs why is this gaining heat!!

People vote hot cause they don't understand specs. They don't realise this is super weak. They just see a low price for a new laptop and jump aboard.

Not a great spec... personally wouldn't spend 200 quid on this

I made the assumption that this is a slow processor. Turns out that it benchmarks 2.5x faster than the awful Celeron N3050 that so many people buy..
