If you keep in mind that you'll get cheap ram and ssd drives in most any refurbs, you won't be disappointed. Knowing this ahead of time I had also purchased a crucial 256g ssd drive here on Amazon for $20 and replaced that from the beginning. In this price point I'm not sure you could find a faster machine. If what you're looking for is an internet browsing or office machine this is a great deal. Upgrades are very limited due to the sff case so I wouldn't recommend this if you're planning on gaming but it's a very good deal.
