The i7-6700 slightly outperforms the i5-7500, but they're 10 and 8 years old, respectively. The Ultra 5 225 outperforms both by a wide margin and is a modern processor, released in Q1 of this year.
The main problems I see with the refurbished one are, as UniqueMagic721 pointed out, it doesn't come with an OS (and doesn't support Windows 11). The second is it has a traditional mechanical hard drive rather than an SSD, so it's going to be much slower loading apps, booting up, and slower in general.
I also don't think it's comparable, as garth25 said.

Thanks in advance!
Also only two slots on this board, better performance from only using two stick of memory anyway.
Regardless, getting a decade old PC is not the same thing as buying a new unit. It is much slower, more prone to failure (aged PSU), and needs more technical knowledge to make up for the inherent shortcomings even for daily usage. (replace HDD for SSD, upgrading memory, bypassing windows features, troubleshooting more common failures) The integrated graphics can only use support HDMI 1.4, so no real 4K support unless using display port.
BB link for in-store. Same PC. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/d...ku/6622619
There's Dell store deal. But that one has less RAM and less SSD storage. I have a feeling that will be the only one left in a few weeks.
