Quick browsing, youtube vids stream fast in HD, all the basic home computing you're looking for but more robust than the refurbished models that run $30-$50 less (I paid $211.49 + tax).  Money well spent, that extra bit of all-around speed is noticeable when it's not there.3 stars for gaming, but maybe someone comp savvy with a graphics card can pump it up to 5/5 stars (plays Rimworld Ideology fine, so think of that as a baseline? ;) .  5 stars otherwise, fantastic value + excellent customer support (problem with USB ports-->hardware issue, handled professionally & quickly post-Black Friday).  New tower was sent & everything has been smooth running since!
