That said, while I'm not a GPU expert, I'm pretty familiar with CPU/APU comparisons. The 10400 is quite a step up from the 6700. 10400 Passmark score is 12352 for the 10400, and only 8054 for the 6700. This may or may not matter for gaming (I have no idea honestly), but for various other non-gaming tasks, it can make a difference.
I might even go one step further and try to find a desktop with an i5-11400 (Passmark score of 17295). I've seen desktops with the 11400 recently go for under $400 on the bay with the e. Recent iterations of the Ryzen 5 are also pretty solid, and those can also be found in the sub-$400 range with some patience.
Yes its a better deal for $150 more, plus the costco return policy, but its definitely extra specs some people might not need. However that 1TB HDD, while not being worth too much extra, is definitely beneficial to older folks who just want to store pictures and videos and stuff on their PC without the worry of an external HDD, only having the 256GB SSD in the OP can be limiting if you like to save content.
Need something like this, with optical drive, win 10, wifi, no need any drives - purely for torrent, web etc, connected to tv.
Would love to get one refurbished for 'bout $300. Any ideas where to find one?
