Why not a fan of refurbished? Most tech hardware follows a "bathtub curve" of failure rates....either it fails early in the lifecycle, or it lasts a long time and fails near the end of its lifecycle.

These machines were announced around 4.5 years ago (sept '19). They've probably been in service for around 4...about half of most computer gear lifespans, as properly maintained desktops get around 8-10 years of life.

With refurbished, you're delaying eWaste while saving significant amounts on the cost. Computer hardware has been very capable for the 5-8 years -- although there have been performance improvements and more power efficient components, unless you're pushing a machine to the limits, you'll be hard pressed to observe a normal/office use difference between an 8th gen and a 10th/11th gen. If anything, it'd be a modest improvement when compared side-by-side.

And the specs are very decent -- video upgrade, reasonable SSD size, and 32gb ram. That's considerably more than most entry-level systems even in 2024, which still tend to be a paltry 8gb ram and 256gb ssd.

Can someone enlighten me on any limitations this graphics card may have? Mostly use this for business purposes, with some light design work Affinity Designer, Lightburn, etc.

I completely agree, if you can get a 6400 or low profile 3060, this is a good gaming pc

Beyond not needing external power, you also have to make sure it's low profile...
