Very very cheap basic proprietary unit. I snagged the 1TB version of this from BB open box for less than $400 for a friend. Performance is fine just not sure about longevity and/or parts availability in the future.

Can't believe we live in a world when $500 for a low/mid tier prebuilt with no GPU is considered a good deal. Inflation is gone....

*not slamming the post.

Critique is good, but suggest at the same time with a better deal.

Hi... Is this the current "good deal" price? I'm looking for a desktop, non-gamer. I keep thinking I will play some games, but the most I ever actually play is... solitaire and minesweeper.

I mainly use MS office and Google Chrome. I think I do need 16GB or more of RAM because I like to have a LOT of tabs open, along with Excel and Word. Oh, and it needs to be able to run a 31.5 inch QHD monitor.

TIA

Find me something better for $500 for someone who just wants to browse the web and do basic tasks. Ty
