My old Acer was dying, needed a quick replacement. Wanted something faster (I5 with 12Gig ram - better than 8) and 512 memory. This guy flies (my old Acer came with Windows 7 and was  really slow running Windows 10). Be aware that this and most new computers don't support VGA so you might need a new monitor. Also this guy comes with a partioned HD, half C: and half D: (easy to change, but scary for home user). I put the  hard drive from the old computer in a cheap ($20) case that comes with power supply and USB 3 connector and the computer recognizes it as an external hard drive, so transferring stuff was easy. Also theInfo in the ad may lead you to believe it has internal speakers, it does not! But I had speakers, the sound is great and my old HD has hours and hours of music. To my surprise the old hard drive had the software on it from an old external hard drive that failed, the new computer updated the software and now every Thursday night backs up new computer. This guy isn't a gaming computer, or a heavy duty business computer, but it is great for home use, also I think it would be good for a student (no camera included).
