Purchased this for my Dad to replace an old and tired laptop.  I had purchased similar models in the past.  An Intel quad core with 8+ gb of ram and an SSD drive is more than enough to handle most daily workloads for "normal" use, and probably for some heavy workloads as well, and for around $250 it's hard to pass up.  PC came in good working condition and no issues.  Would definitely purchase again!
