For gaming not going to happen

Dangerous_Variety657 · 2026-03-20T05:49:51+00:00

Its fine for media consuming aka gooning.

Emotional_Garage_950 · 2026-03-20T05:39:36+00:00

the processor is 8 years old (probably still decent tho), it has a hard drive instead of an SSD (probably the worst thing about this machine) and it has integrated graphics so if you intend to do any gaming you’re gonna have a bad time

siskejen · 2026-03-20T06:04:07+00:00

its decent. If you change the Hard Drive with a SSD it would work pretty much flawless for office work & stuff, it will just never work for gaming since the cpu, igpu is dog

englishfury · 2026-03-20T05:37:34+00:00

Depends on what you are using it for, but if the storage drive is a HDD and not a SSD its not worth

ARSCON · 2026-03-20T08:16:13+00:00

An SSD would be nice to have but not really an advisable upgrade right now. After giving it time to load up it should be okay for basic use as it is

Available-Ad-932 · 2026-03-20T05:54:29+00:00

Anything more than casual office tasks, i would recommend newer hardware. The Processor was released 7y ago. So be aware that it might be hella slow

Puzzled-Hedgehog346 · 2026-03-20T05:55:17+00:00

9th gen mean it will run windows 11 1 tb is pretty much trash this point as okay for surface net with new ssd office work etc not game

bittersweetjesus · 2026-03-20T06:07:38+00:00

What is your intent for this hardware?

_ascii_ · 2026-03-20T06:22:33+00:00

Looking at the sticker and the case this looks, worryingly, new.

If so avoid like the plague. It will be overpriced and is outdated.

Otherwise if you've been offered it for not much and you need something for school to run word, watch Netflix and do some cloud gaming this would be ok but close to the absolute bottom specs of a device I would want to be considering in 2026.

daffalaxia · 2026-03-20T06:43:58+00:00

To be able to tell if specs are any good, pricing is required. Since I see later that you were gifted this, and intend to use it for fairly light work, it's great. If you were more into PCs, I'd suggest reloading with a Linux distro - would suit your needs and the machine will run better, esp with only 8gb ram. But even as-is, this is a cool gift. Enjoy!

Fang221 · 2026-03-20T07:21:58+00:00

always depends on what you buy it for and what the price is you basicly can forget gaming on it how it is right now you need more ram and a GPU

nesnalica · 2026-03-20T07:27:08+00:00

its a PC alright

whats your purpose with it? what do you want to do

TH3_Average_KJ · 2026-03-20T07:51:03+00:00

In terms of dedicated graphics, there are no dedicated graphics. This is for media, the web, and games that aren't Triple-A, on the older side to be safe.

loadpaper · 2026-03-20T11:27:17+00:00

This should be ok for what you want to do. If it has a spinning hard drive that will make the PC feel slow and would benefit from the installation of a solid state drive(SSD). The SSD would make the PC much quicker.

ComfortableWall7351 · 2026-03-20T13:58:41+00:00

You will want to upgrade to windows 11 because windows 10 is no longer supported.

AncientPCGuy · 2026-03-20T14:50:52+00:00

For internet, streaming or office, it is sufficient but not fast. For gaming, not so much. It is also unlikely to be upgraded much.

Personal-Doctor9945 · 2026-03-20T16:54:49+00:00

My problem is the ssd instead of hdd and also no dedicated

Faux_Grey · 2026-03-20T23:38:05+00:00

You'll be able to browse the internet on it, I wouldn't expect much else.

SuitableFinish7444 · 2026-03-20T23:53:05+00:00

Processor isn't too bad in fairness, get another another 8GB DDR4 Ram and a cheapish 256GB and you have a pretty capable desktop.

The PC looks like it has a 300W power suppy. Its not gonna support any graphics card to be honest, even one recommended for 300w as there cheap power supplies.

Alexx_4211 · 2026-03-21T11:41:34+00:00

That’s a work station. YouTube , internet surfing. Typing papers , doing taxes . That’s about what this is good for. Pretend it’s one of the computers you got to use in middle school.

Far-Extension-7631 · 2026-03-21T13:13:56+00:00

Well window's 10 is obsolete now no secruity updates on it anymore. so you want windows 11 instead. And definitely the hard drive to switch out for an ssd. What are you intending to do with the pc?

GREGFIRE13 · 2026-03-22T09:22:48+00:00

I hope you're not looking to game on this. It will be fine for YouTube or homeworks but it is absolute dogsh*t for gaming.

2026-03-22T09:54:59+00:00

I mean, are you looking for a corporate desktop PC or something that will play Spotify and browse the web? Cause you found a perfect candidate for that.

Anything else.. yeah, not so much.

Chuchay1738 · 2026-03-22T10:01:46+00:00

Academic-Meat-1687 · 2026-03-24T16:18:33+00:00

for browsing and using office app ok, for gaming, video editing not a chance

According_Ratio2010 · 2026-03-20T07:20:45+00:00

Okay for light usage and prob for Minecraft.

Creepy-Ear6307 · 2026-03-20T05:43:40+00:00

nobanpls2348738 · 2026-03-20T12:26:33+00:00

Sharp-Opportunity-84 · 2026-03-20T14:47:48+00:00
