So I purchased this refurbished computer to gain more options for my money. It is an older model computer that came out in 2013 with a few of today’s luxuries that have been changed out/updated. Things such as ssd storage vs hdd, windows 10 operating system opposed to windows 7 which windows is no longer supporting. New computers are just so expensive and come with barely any memory ram 4 gb on most computers and this computer comes with 16 gb. Sometimes a new computer doesn’t even come with an ssd. If I’m buying a new computer why does it come with an hdd instead of a faster ssd? Options like those come with a much higher price tag on new computers. So a refurbished computer with those options fit the bill for what I needed at a much lower cost. I purchased computer through Amazon and the company who refurbished it is Skytech Gaming, who is an authorized Microsoft refurbishing company. Every thing in the tower i received looks brand new minus the processor. (It’s a 4th gen intel processor, it’s not supposed to be new!) Skytech is also a gaming pc manufacturer. Even though this pc does not come as a gaming pc, if you purchase it and do a little research, and add a graphics card, this computer can be used as a gaming pc. (THIS COMPUTER DOES NOT COME WITH A GRAPHICS CARD) There are only certain graphics cards that will work with this slightly older technology. I just got ahold of a 1650 graphics card that should do the light gaming I want. DO YOUR RESEARCH! YouTube university is your best friend in this area!Before you make any decision on a refurbished computer, do your research on what options you want, what the computer is designed for/to do, upgradability, how much money are you willing to spend to make it a gaming pc, and research reviews of the company selling you the pc though Amazon. I hope you all have the experience I had with purchasing a computer through Amazon. Good luck and god bless
