I was walking around a local Walmart and saw these on an end cap. They had no price tag, so I scanned it with the Walmart app and they came out to $249.99. I picked up 2 and they still had 6 more on the shelf.

I use an old Celeron with Quicksync. I've personally hit 22 1080p at once. I don't transcode 4k so couldn't give you an estimate there.
It's amazing how many people don't realize this and frequently recommend adding GPUs for Plex. That's not needed and purely a waste of money. Even the Plex subreddit has hoards of individuals frequently recommending a GPU for Plex. Feel free... but it's a waste of money.

One local store said they had 2 in stock (even on their computer) but she could not find it anywhere in the back.
I always assume some employee is hiding it and saving it for themselves.

Have you tried Kubuntu?
Or stolen
Run update
This comment has me genuinely concerned now. I put mine away as a present in December for my kid who loves to play Roblox after school. Only thing I bought as an upgrade is a 240GB SSD so Windows doesn't take forever to boot.
Has anyone else had any issues with sluggishness with light gaming so far? Should I just ruin the surprise and give it to my kid now before I'm outside the return window? I was expecting the i3-10100 would be fine for my kid's needs.
Maybe it will be fine with the SSD... I'm not expecting it to play AAA titles or even old games on high settings. Thoughts?

How much are you asking?
Thanks!

GPU is relevant, not the processor for the most part. That's a misnomer amongst people even within the PC Builds, people will dump huge amounts of their budget into CPU / Motherboard upgrades that will do nothing for their FPS
This thing does not have a capable GPU despite it looking like a tower, which to most people implies some ability of power.

Gaming benchmarks. Fortunately they have CS:GO, seems like you must play under 1080p resolution AKA, this is what I did in my highschool days... Not sure if that'll pass expectations for kids getting a brand new PC...
In a sense, you do get what you pay for, always lookup the GPU model and see what framerates it gets on games and note at what resolutions.
Run what update? Windows update? I did.
