They probably were someone's business computer for several years, older tech but PC haven't changed much in the last 3 or 4 years since this was new. Very fast processor and probably half the price of my much slower I3 NUC it replaced. All solid state and quite cool compared to the NUC, the manual says there is a fan though I can't hear or feel one. Added a 2T usb 3 hard drive and plan to run games and am using it for 100G games, I did not think the I3 was up to PC gaming which is one of the main reasons for the upgrade. It appear to have memory upgradability form a YouTube video on the machine maintenance. Probably the condition represents the type of use and environment, most probably sit on a desk and are never touched and look new like mine.
