I repair computers in a retirement town.  Most of the veterans and retirees have limited needs when using a computer and keep their old models as long as possible. However, sometimes they are just too old or costly to fix.  In this case, I decided to recommend a purchase for my client and bought this model.  I was very, very impressed.  Excellent speed, very good processor, only 4 gig mem but fine for most uses.  This is a very quiet, efficient computer with none of the  heavy "adware" preloaded that comes with many of the bigger names. I would recommend this computer "as is" to any of my clients. I would further recommend this to students and medium power users with the addition of an additional 4 gig memory which can be added for about $40. The addition of a $70 Solid State Drive would make this a very fast and inexpensive desktop computer.
