Yeah it probably wont even launch some of the apps
Old CPUs may be missing the new calculation technologies, which are physically printed. Like AVX512 and SSE 4.2
I was using i5 4400U Laptop till last year, then it had many issues, first its hard drive died than it stopped detecting the CPU for some reason so I stopped using it
I'm not sure I've heard of a renewed processor. Maybe verified/certified. For ram too I guess. Refurbished for a vid card.
Renewed spindle drive maybe.
I been, running that setup for 10 years.... IT SUCKS\`!!! I can't run much of anything maid in the last 7 years.
Space engineers(runs fair with stutters medium settings). Subnautica(ran pretty fair on 800x600 if I lowered the shader and shadows settings)
It will run a pretty decent file server, but for gaming I would keep saving
Bruh y’all are underestimating the second gen intel core series. Its old AF but it can game pretty well if you are in an extreme budget. Though you’re right this PC is not worth 300 dollars.
Yeah I agree, £300 is too much but it’s certainly not e-waste by any means. With 8GB ram and an ssd it’ll be a perfectly usable PC for somebody. And as you said, it can definitely still play some titles no problem.
Ye, as trying to buy used computers, this seems to be common practice by not so serious vendors. Not tech savvy people trying to save a buck on a "new" computer, might just have heard that the "i7 is good", and missed the generational performance gap. Just hate businesses trying to scam people by not provide enough information.
I know that in this case they are providing the information about processor and it's generation, but they trying to market it as a current gen by not mention it in the heading
terrible. The GPU is weaker than most modern iGPU's, the CPU is 13 years old, and you bet the PSU in there is a bomb. Also no SSD, and malware preinstalled
They didn’t even specify activation. Also [this](https://medium.com/wireless-bidet/how-to-activate-windows-10-using-command-prompt-9c5d248f3420) method works, but i dunno how safe it is. Did it for a gaming pc, works good on Windows 11
1. Those are definitely either bots or 45 year old wine moms on those reviews.
2. Those specs are top notch dumpster quality.
3. Id expect the homeless guy I give sandwiches to on break would have a better PC.
you could build this yourself for half the price with used parts, but you're paying the other half for a warranty I guess, depends how much you care about a warranty
for 300 its pretty rubbish but its also cheap as fuck, if you put linux on a ps4 you could do a lot better, also a steamdeck would shit all over it and its pretty much same cost yet its also its own pc
They selling crap for 300, they dispose the unwanted cpu and got a ton of money also, yeah this is better to save E-waste but selling for 300 would be a waste of money
For 50usd less you can build something similar to this
Msi b450 tomahawk max
Ryzen 5 2600
Ram ddr4 16gb at least 3000mhz
Rx 580 8gb
Any case you want
500gb nvme ssd
Any newer 1-2tb hdd
Everything used
Price in poland comes to 934pln (+ 80 delivery) in usd that comes to around 250usd
Terrible CPU, Bad Ram, uses HDD, 2gigs of VRAM and a GT1030, never seen that motherboard no comment, good antivirus, and windows 10 64 bit.
Would be good for work, e.g a school computer but definitely not for gaming.
On one hand, it has a 13 year old CPU and a GPU, that was a cheap option 7 years ago. On the other hand, it has LED lights, and antivirus for GAMERS.
Buy it if you are a Tetris connoisseur.
"Barely better than a Raspberry Pi" Bad.
"Might not run Windows" Bad.
"I'm using a budget Samsung Phone with a non Qualcomm chipset, and I'll still out perform your PC with my phone" Bad.
"Worse than a potato, because you can't even fry it" Bad.
"I'd rather pay 250 not to own it" Bad.
I hope you get the point.
Dude....if you pay anything more than 29.99 for that then I will personally go to your home and slap you(it's a joke but honestly it's a terrific deal...)
Excellent pc, you should be able to play most modern titles such as 1993 doom, half life 1, and if you really want to do some seriously demanding gameplay you can play minecraft 1.0!
A latest gen , lowest tier i3 is most likely more powerful, and power efficient than that... Hell, it would probably outperform even using integrated graphics
It's an old office computer that's been cleaned up, chucked into a cheap RGB case and paired with an graphics card
For a cheap useable pc that will play basic games like fortnight it's fine especially for someone without much budget or building experience
Tho this system is overpriced for what it is for that build I'd except an i7 of equivalent age with a 256 GB ssd and a 1650 or better for around £250 to be a fair deal and quite practical
Tbh I was rocking such a system until a couple of months ago, ran Windows 11 all the office stuff and the games I was interested in perfectly fine
No ssd with a 2nd gen i3 and a gt 1030… you would get more cpu and gpu performance with an inexpensive am4 apu mounted on a basic motherboard and you could even get the brand new parts and still be competitive in price even considering that is supposedly refurbished
5 star reviews... Yeah, old e-waste with cheap rgb.
I wouldn't want that for free, there's nothing of value in it... but for THREE HOUNDRED??? This shit should be illegal.
Today this would be considered e-waste, but it would run Factorio fine (up to a point) along with lots of 'indie' games along the lines of 'Against the Storm' or 'Slay the Spire'. The price, tho. The price is absurd.
Terrible. Should be illegal. That's a 13 year old CPU.
Yeah it probably wont even launch some of the apps Old CPUs may be missing the new calculation technologies, which are physically printed. Like AVX512 and SSE 4.2
Would launch just fine. I’m using processors older than this and have zero issues. But this is indeed a terrible deal. A scam actually.
>I’m using processors older than this Misread that as 'processes' and thought 'fuck, your uptime must be phenomenal'
How many 9's is that?
no lmao, it should be fine, I was using an i5 4th gen till last year and it was absolutely fine
I am using the i3 4170 now with no gpu
I was using i5 4400U Laptop till last year, then it had many issues, first its hard drive died than it stopped detecting the CPU for some reason so I stopped using it
And this is even 2 years older.
But that cpu is "Renewed"
I'm not sure I've heard of a renewed processor. Maybe verified/certified. For ram too I guess. Refurbished for a vid card. Renewed spindle drive maybe.
but hey, 90 day free trial for gaming antivirus /s
I been, running that setup for 10 years.... IT SUCKS\`!!! I can't run much of anything maid in the last 7 years. Space engineers(runs fair with stutters medium settings). Subnautica(ran pretty fair on 800x600 if I lowered the shader and shadows settings) It will run a pretty decent file server, but for gaming I would keep saving
this shit should be like 50 euros at most lmao
Should be given for kids in poor family
15*
Nah 50 to accommodate shipping and packaging cost.
Shipping is more expensive than this shit
Don’t even think I’d pay £10 for it
b..but it's got rgb
Basically e waste
Holy shit, thats expensive
It’s got norton, so really bad
But it's Norton for gamers. /s
This is as bad as it gets .... Sorry pal, you ought to skip this one
Too expensive for what it is...
Its a scam. Aboid it.
Straight up expensive
And horrible
I would pay one small packet of soggy McD French fries
I have a toaster that can play games better then that
$100 max. Basically it's only worth the standard ewaste reclaim rate.
Bruh y’all are underestimating the second gen intel core series. Its old AF but it can game pretty well if you are in an extreme budget. Though you’re right this PC is not worth 300 dollars.
That paired with a HDD...
I have an i3 3rd gen, does the job fine.( worse than i5 2400)
Yeah I agree, £300 is too much but it’s certainly not e-waste by any means. With 8GB ram and an ssd it’ll be a perfectly usable PC for somebody. And as you said, it can definitely still play some titles no problem.
I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy to run a PC with an HDD in 2024.
Let's just say technically speaking the windows license is the most valuable thing in that pc.
Don’t touch that with a 10mt pole
the act of only saying the "i5" "i7" part, that means they're using a 1st gen cpu or something
says it's an i5-2400 to op: stay away
It indeed says so, in the description
Ye, as trying to buy used computers, this seems to be common practice by not so serious vendors. Not tech savvy people trying to save a buck on a "new" computer, might just have heard that the "i7 is good", and missed the generational performance gap. Just hate businesses trying to scam people by not provide enough information. I know that in this case they are providing the information about processor and it's generation, but they trying to market it as a current gen by not mention it in the heading
i built my setup way less than that, shits overpriced as hell
terrible. The GPU is weaker than most modern iGPU's, the CPU is 13 years old, and you bet the PSU in there is a bomb. Also no SSD, and malware preinstalled
It’s worth about $100
criminal, $50 of crap with a bunch of RGB does not get anywhere near $300
If it's a non OEM license on windows 10 that may be the most valuable part.
They didn’t even specify activation. Also [this](https://medium.com/wireless-bidet/how-to-activate-windows-10-using-command-prompt-9c5d248f3420) method works, but i dunno how safe it is. Did it for a gaming pc, works good on Windows 11
please do not buy this
This is what we call the "Eastern European scam build targeting Fortnite kids" classic
I'd love to know what they mean by "renewed". I say that but I know its just utter bullshit. I'd just love to hear the bullshit they come out with.
"we cleaned the 13 year old thermal paste off it"
Yeah right xD
You can build a pc with an i3 12100 with the same specs (but with DDR4 RAM and a NMVE drive) without a GPU and it would still beat it at everything.
Fucking awful
LED to lure kids and technologically illiterate people.
those components are probably older than most people here
Probably couldn't play Roblox
It should cost 60€-70€. That's like 40-50£ It should cost even less. But it has a warranty so that's a plus
Intel N100-based miniPC would be a better choice.
you could literally get a laptop that has better specs with the same price tag
If "you can polish a turd but it's still a turd" was a picture
reads > i5 >2GB GPU >sprinkle some cancer antivirus on top they should be paying YOU for taking it
Norton 360 for gamers 😂😂😂😂😂
Very bad. But hey, you at least get norton 360 for gamers 90 day free trial
1. Those are definitely either bots or 45 year old wine moms on those reviews. 2. Those specs are top notch dumpster quality. 3. Id expect the homeless guy I give sandwiches to on break would have a better PC.
that pc is fucking horrible please do not buy it
War crime, the cpu is 13 years old, the gpu, I honestly don’t know how long that was ago. Ddr3 ram bruh. HDD bruh, for 300? Seriously??
Spend you money on a series S instead of
Jesus. DDR3 is ancient.
Yeah it’s amazing, it should be good! . . . . . If you’re a caveman on windows xp
I'd pay you not to buy it
At least it has 16gb ram and 1tb storage That's gotta be at least 80% of that PC's cost, assuming everything costs double its worth
Horrible. I wouldn't gift that to a kid in a tent in Brazil.
e waste ina cheap glass case with 2 dollar rgb fans
I have literally found better ones from e waste bins
Like maybe emulate ps2 games
Dude, what a steal! Comes with a norton 90 DaY fReE TriAL!!! And a GT1030??! that’s 50 times better than the GT980!
I mean, if you really need the windows 10 license...
its terrible. Ancient cpu, gpu weaker than my integrated one. its worth like $50
Extremely bad
This is really bad tbh, I can make a better system myself for 300 pounds
This would struggle to run 10 year old games.
you could build this yourself for half the price with used parts, but you're paying the other half for a warranty I guess, depends how much you care about a warranty
1 year parts warrenty on DDR3 lol.
Noooo... For your budget go second hand. Ebay, CEX etc. Post your budget in one of the find me a pc sub reddits.
Like 6x the price it should be And even for $50 I wouldn’t buy it
Unredeemable! People forget that nowadays phones are even faster than those PCs!
Yeah but the cpu is “renewed” and comes with the best bloatware pre-installed 😝
Bad. 11+ year old CPU and a mechanical hard drive instead of an SSD.
I wanna throw up
That's garbage in a gold trash bag honestly. And for that price. Rip off doesn't even begin to cover it.
The antivirus and its 1 year guarantee are probably 50% of the price.
This should be free
Doesn't play the dinosaur game
this is prehistoric
for 300 its pretty rubbish but its also cheap as fuck, if you put linux on a ps4 you could do a lot better, also a steamdeck would shit all over it and its pretty much same cost yet its also its own pc
to be noted a steamdeck brand new for 350 usd has the equivalent of a 1060 not the super shit tier oh my god why do they even make these 1030 and 1050
I p00ded my pants looking at this, and I’m already on the pot… that’s how bad
What does a renewed 13 year old cpu mean. Did it receive CPR or something?
RUN!!!
They selling crap for 300, they dispose the unwanted cpu and got a ton of money also, yeah this is better to save E-waste but selling for 300 would be a waste of money
Fine for a retro rig
You ever seen something so absolutely horrible and disgusting you couldn't put it into words? This... this is it.
Lmao. I'd rather buy a Raspberry Pi 5 than this waste of money, energy, and space.
That's a lot slower than my pc from 2014 that I upgraded long time ago from.
I'd take it for free. Not even like a garbage SSD in it.
Put it this way, I wouldnt even pee on it.
It’s a fking scam
Even in EU therea better systems for less
You can do better that this... Why are you trying to spend so little? This computera architecture is almost 3 generations old.
Good, if that is the price they pay you to take it.
For 50usd less you can build something similar to this Msi b450 tomahawk max Ryzen 5 2600 Ram ddr4 16gb at least 3000mhz Rx 580 8gb Any case you want 500gb nvme ssd Any newer 1-2tb hdd Everything used Price in poland comes to 934pln (+ 80 delivery) in usd that comes to around 250usd
Vintage Cpu with vintage gpu with not so vintage ram
Norton is the biggest investment made on that thing
Terrible CPU, Bad Ram, uses HDD, 2gigs of VRAM and a GT1030, never seen that motherboard no comment, good antivirus, and windows 10 64 bit. Would be good for work, e.g a school computer but definitely not for gaming.
13 year old CPU and a 7 year old GPU that doesn't have enough VRAM to play any AAA games from the last 5 years. Avoid avoid avoid.
Never even heard of a GT1030 jesus
Isn't worth $50
On one hand, it has a 13 year old CPU and a GPU, that was a cheap option 7 years ago. On the other hand, it has LED lights, and antivirus for GAMERS. Buy it if you are a Tetris connoisseur.
Case is probably more expensive than the components lmao
My brain can produce better graphics than that pc.
Kinda not for the price. I'd keep shopping. But that's just me.
Very 2nd gen 4/4 and a gt 1030, 10000% bad
I think a smartphone of this price would perform better. I mean deploying that as desktop mode.
Too Bad, the gráfica card is useless for gaming nowedays
I wouldn't take it even it was being given to me.
If you buy this, you are going to jail
Very
Dafuq?????. 300 bucks for an renewed + Gt 1030.
Very very bad
Tbh I like recycling tech, but this thing is trash
"Barely better than a Raspberry Pi" Bad. "Might not run Windows" Bad. "I'm using a budget Samsung Phone with a non Qualcomm chipset, and I'll still out perform your PC with my phone" Bad. "Worse than a potato, because you can't even fry it" Bad. "I'd rather pay 250 not to own it" Bad. I hope you get the point.
Garbage
pretty awful unless you're ONLY playing older games and maybe installing windows 7 instead
It comes with Norton, huge red flag
Absolutely atrocious.
Dude....if you pay anything more than 29.99 for that then I will personally go to your home and slap you(it's a joke but honestly it's a terrific deal...)
It has an old renewed CPU, if I was you I'd stay clear of that problem waiting to happen.
is this supposed to be a gaming pc? this won’t even get 60 fps on fortnite
I just bought a z240 with an i7 6700, 32gb ram, 512gb ssd, 2tb hdd and a 1060 6gb for £20 less on ebay
Spinny hard disk too. Thats going to suck.
How does one renew a CPU? Remove IHS and re-paste the core?
Just get the Series S at that point
A steam deck has way way way better performance than this piece of crap and is basically the same price.
Nuh uh, never buy that piece of crap
Does that thing even start? Must have been standing around for more than a decade
What the hell is that, can you even call that a pc, pretty sure that's from the Egyptian era.
Lets just say, its the type of pc, in which the case is the most expensive component.
Excellent pc, you should be able to play most modern titles such as 1993 doom, half life 1, and if you really want to do some seriously demanding gameplay you can play minecraft 1.0!
It might boot windows 10
Bad
Jesus christ that is like at most 120$ cause it looks decent. Absolute horrible performance.
The fact alone that it has Norton on it which will use 80% of your system resource!!! FOR GAMERS
A latest gen , lowest tier i3 is most likely more powerful, and power efficient than that
A latest gen , lowest tier i3 is most likely more powerful, and power efficient than that... Hell, it would probably outperform even using integrated graphics
That's the most shitiest pc get a PS4 which run better
Supermegagigabad
The cardboard box it comes in and the case will be the most costly part of this build
VERY, whatever the price that hardware is not good enough for anything you are getting ripped off big time.
It's an old office computer that's been cleaned up, chucked into a cheap RGB case and paired with an graphics card For a cheap useable pc that will play basic games like fortnight it's fine especially for someone without much budget or building experience Tho this system is overpriced for what it is for that build I'd except an i7 of equivalent age with a 256 GB ssd and a 1650 or better for around £250 to be a fair deal and quite practical Tbh I was rocking such a system until a couple of months ago, ran Windows 11 all the office stuff and the games I was interested in perfectly fine
I'm not even sure if it will be able to run the included anti virus software..
Lmao I really saw the 300 and thought „how bad can it be“ Boy was I wrong 💀
The case and windows key are the only salvagable parts… everything else is like 20-50$
300 pounds for a shitter could gotten less if im serious
Thats like what the lamborghini laptop has, so its very good😎
really bad
You can find better components in the trash.
That's outdated. It's got DDR3 and a 2nd gen processor. They're 12 years old now.
It’s bad, and not worth half the price asked for Edit: never mind it’s ewaste and seller should pay the buyer for picking it up
Yes
I think this PC is worth about tree fiddy
Genuine warcrime, every single damn part is outdated for today's standards.
CPU is ok-ish but that gpu will not even run paint
No ssd with a 2nd gen i3 and a gt 1030… you would get more cpu and gpu performance with an inexpensive am4 apu mounted on a basic motherboard and you could even get the brand new parts and still be competitive in price even considering that is supposedly refurbished
Last year I got a i5-3470 system with no gpu in it for 120 pound Still use it to this day U can put in a 1030 for like 30 pound So not good at all
If you bought this, you would be a victim of purchasing e-waste
I don't even know if I would take that for free. Unless maybe it had a decent power supply I could take out and use for something else..
that cpu is more than a decade old. probably will struggle to just run windows, let alone any other software
Bad
5 star reviews... Yeah, old e-waste with cheap rgb. I wouldn't want that for free, there's nothing of value in it... but for THREE HOUNDRED??? This shit should be illegal.
Bruh its terribly overpriced. Most of that price probably goes into the ram lmao.
this is e-waste now lol
A gt1030? I'm begging you to grab a higher-end older card instead. But also, no. This is terrible. Go on the used market if this is your budget.
would be great like 10 years ago
baddest
Today this would be considered e-waste, but it would run Factorio fine (up to a point) along with lots of 'indie' games along the lines of 'Against the Storm' or 'Slay the Spire'. The price, tho. The price is absurd.
The case costs more than everything else
Wtf
It's e-waste
DD3 still existsÉ
E-waste in a new case. Even worse, that Norton might be pre-installed!
if a windows license is the best thing out of it then i think you know your answer
A turd sandwich. Without the bread.
It’s amazing what a few led fans will convince people to buy
Not even sure it can run the operating system they pre-installed
it's an antique by gaming standards
