I work in an organization that is (1) Very cheap and (2) Still using Windows 7 and Office 2010 in computers. I have purchased multiples of the 4GB model and, when coupled with a 120/128 GB SSD, make for very responsive workstations for our employees for a price that doesn't make anyone's budget alarm go off. I just purchased 4 more on Thursday to replace aging computers for our employees. I updated the first computer with all the Win7 updates and put all the software I wanted on them, and then just cloned the hard drive for the rest (and still have the cloned disk to use for the ones I just purchased).
Would also make a good desktop for your parents/grandparents/young children who just want a limited use computer to surf the net and get on facebook. Again, I would recommend a cheap SSD to make it responsive.

Is the OP's configuration underpowered compared to any mainstream new computer? Sure. But is it an extremely economical solution for basic computer operations? Absolutely. It will load basic web pages without any issue and Win7 will receive security patches for at least the next 1.5 years.

The G620 scores 2296 [cpubenchmark.net]. I assume that that the other chip is a G640 which scores 2527 [cpubenchmark.net].
Thanks for posting OP!
Probably work great as a basic htpc...comes with Win 7 Pro so Media Center is included.
@ThatsNotADeal Do these only have displayport/vga as online specs via google indicate?
Win7 isn't end of life until Jan 2020 so it still receives security updates.

Windows 7 support ends January 2020 so I don't know where you're getting these are unsupported in a business environment. Windows 10 runs just fine if not better than Windows 7 in these and can still be upgraded for free.
Looks like an ok box for rock bottom price.
