When my old computer died I bought this refurb to replace it. It's not a gaming machine but I still play some old school games on it and it runs them fine. The only problem I had with it was the hard drive died and I had to replace it with another solid state drive. I suppose I could gripe about it and give this a bad rating but the machine runs very good overall so I just fixed it and accepted the fact that "refurb" means used. Any time you buy something used you run the risk of a part failing so no big deal. Even with the drive issue I still like the machine and feel it's still a decent value for the price. Most people would not have the same issue mine had.
