I got this computer to replace my aging desktop, and I couldn’t be happier. Just because a computer is refurbished doesn’t mean it’s past it’s prime. In fact, this one has a new lease on life. It has its marks of previous usage, but that is just a cosmetic issue. I didn’t purchase it to look great, I bought it to use on the internet and work with photos. It’s got plenty of muscle under the hood, and more than enough RAM and storage to do what I want with it. It’s a workstation, not a dedicated gaming machine, but a gaming oriented video card would likely help with that.
