We of course don't have a time machine, but Lenovo had these with 32Gb and 5060Ti for $80 more a few weeks back.

This is a laptop board with SODIMM memory. CPU will not be upgradeable later, just FYI (it's fine for the next few years)

ya know I have built PC since 1996, and I have "upgraded" a CPU 1 x and that was in 1999 it was a K6-333mhz AMD that went to a 500 mhz cpu, that was the last time that a CPU upgrade still fit the same dye on the mobo to upgade. It's been my experience that by the time you want to upgrade the new chips go in the next board. Like my current machine is a AM4 board, and was built right before DDR5 came out, but there is really no upgrade path for it without replacing the board. Which I am saving up to do, just gotta wait for the right mobo/cpu package deal to show up

yep this is a laptop cpu with laptop ram, cpu is soldered on so definitely not upgradeable , and also the limited performance of a laptop cpu/platform. not a terrible deal but be aware of what you are getting.

Am4 platform went on for 5 generations of cpus. While am5 is not guaranteed that, plenty of people would still pursue upgrading later on. Of course you will need to upgrade the mobo later on if you went in end game am4. We are still in middle of, maybe even early middle of, am5 though so still a significant factor to consider.

It all depends on you. I tend to build top of the line PC that will last me about 6 years and upgrade the GPU at the 3 year point. For Example I just built a 9950X3d 64GB ram 8TB Nvme and RTX 5090. I feel like in the end I will spend the same amount of money either way but I 'll have to tinker with it much less with the buy once cry once approach. I wont need to touch it for a long while. But many people make mid grade PC's then do the upgrade cycle every year or 2 and AMD CPU's have been on the AM4 platform since September 2016 and they are still releasing new AM4 CPU's in 2026! I have no idea why people seem to have imagination or the ability to think that anyone can do anything differently the way they do things!

the irony of building PC's is that the price actually stays pretty constant across decades in 96 it cost me 1200 bucks, in 2006 it cost me 1200 bucks to build one, and in 2026 I expect to spend about 1200 bucks by keeping the basics the same. I own a CoolerMaster HAF case, solid base to build on, I own a Corsair 1200 ATX modular PSU that had a 7 year warranty lol its still kicking. I Have 1 mechanical drive left in there, a 5gb large storage drive for media files. everything else is SSD or NVME drives. this machine has right at 10tb of storage across multiple drives with C being a 500gb SSD on purpose to limit clutter and keep the OS from being mushed into a space to save room. I relocated all my doc storage to an NVME drive by remapping the destination in windblows the day I built the machine in 2020 and maxed out the DDR 4 at 64gb since I could not find 32gb modules for sale back then its 4x16gb sticks of a high quality DDR4. it HAD a blu-ray drive that was a disc burner, but my kids machine needed a new one so it got donated and there has been a vacant slot in the face of the machine for 5 years and truthfully havent missed it. I use USB drives for movies if I download something I just plug in either a portable SSD or a thumbdrive into my tv and watch anything I want.

I did the usb thing for years. One of the best things I have done recently is setting up a Plex server. I got a Synology NAS but it can easily be done with an old PC. In 1995 a PC could easily cost $2500 that is $5317 adjusted for inflation in 2026! I hope you have 5TB storage in your drive not GB

I used to get bored one day and just make another PC but I think those days are over now. I an running a lot. 1 in living room as media center. One in an arcade, one in pinball machine, one in a flight simulator cockpit, one in driving simulator, my main gaming PC at my desk, a torrent server and my wife has a PC in her den (its a Mac mini oh the horror) . and a final one set up as a light gun gaming system. different from the arcade as the monitors are set up to be at standing eye level for shooting games. I tend to downcycle my PC's through the different systems as I upgrade my main gaming rig. My main gaming rig will mode down to the flight sim the flight sim move down to the motion racing simulator the racing simulator down to the living room, the living room down to an arcade. The pinball is an oddball as it needs a fairly powerful PC so usually upgrade that one on its own. The torrent server is whatever I have laying around believe it tr not it was a AMD A10 until that one finally died. RIP it lasted for like 10+ years! I could probably load torrent software on the Synology NAS but I like to keep that computer separated from the rest of the network and virus scan and manually move stuff over to the NAS. All that moving systems around means I have to load all the software and set them all up to do what they do so that is why I build top shelf PC because I don't want to be doing that every year with a shorter upgrade cycle! Video cards move down the line more frequently they are on a 1-2 year upgrade cycle. Thinking of making another PC with crazy amounts of RAM for a AI PC but now is not the right time for that! IT could be done though I mean $1k isn't an amount I don't routinely spend on upgrading a PC but if it's for 128GB of RAM it is doable it just doesn't feel great to do it

I built the last 9950X3D back in March before all of this craziness.

On a side note you should be able to install VLC media player on any smart TV and if you set up a network shared drive on whatever PC you are downloading media onto you can stream the media to your TV no need for USB sticks. This is a totally free solution.

eBay deal still on. Main site one is dead.

Anyway, my son needs a computer that can run simple stuff like Roblox, Minecraft, Bloons, and Rocket League as well as OBS for streaming and recording. He currently has a laptop with an i7-8####. Will this PC be able to run all those things with ease?
