This should be better for productivity over the G727 and will be good enough for gaming. First, 5GbE wired networking, second twice the amount of RAM, third, better multithreaded performance for productivity.
This motherboard will also support 3 additional M.2 drives if you need it.
Good use for both purposes? I'm thinking so.
One in my area too. Idk if this will stay relevant through 4 years of high school though…
Thoughts on this, Slickdealers?
It should still be relevant 4 years from now given those specs.

To be fair, technology is progressing fast enough that staying relevant is hard even after 6 months.
There's always going to be something marginally better for potentially less than it cost a year ago (well, at least before these tariffs).
In 4 years, it may not run every game at the highest graphics settings and Adobe may come out with some new AI demo feature that requires a newer GPU, but it won't be entirely destined for the landfill.
And if you really want to extend the life of the system, keep your son off of these tech YouTuber channels. They're the worst perpetrators of accelerated obsolescence.
