I don't know that much about computers, but I need to buy a new one because my laptop just got stolen. I'm also poor so I have only £200 max to spend, and ideally I'd like it to last for a few years at least. I'd mostly use it for fairly basic web browsing and video streaming, and maybe some games occasionally.

Is this good value for money? Specs seem to be very modern, but I don't really know what I'm talking about so there's every chance it could be a shit deal.

If all you want to do is web browsing and video streaming, you're fine.

I mean, its not shit, but the people selling it annoy the fuck out of me.

I have no idea why you would use a desktop for web browsing and video streaming only, but that is what this thing would be good for. If you intend to upgrade it, be ware a shitty power supply.

Why not just get a cheap and cheerful laptop? Most common tasks (Web browsing, documents, programming) can be done on the crappiest of machines.

Same reason to get a high spec PC vs a high spec laptop. If you dont need the portability, cost.

Yeah the reason I've been looking for desktops rather than laptops is cost. I can't find any decent laptop for under £300. Losing portability is a bit annoying, but I already have a basic tablet so it's not too much of an issue.

nigga this shit is gonna send everything you type back to the seller

>>52491414
Holy fuck that is one really annoying advertising.
But yeah, its good price for what you get.
>>
>>52491414
Its good for the price but FUCK that case looks horrible.
Coz its muh gaymur gear you can sell it for a lot and use the money to get an old dell precision case.

Also make it debian/win7 dualboot
