This is a solid refurb for the price, but you need a steady hand, a screw driver, some patience, and some basic Windows sysadmin skills to take full advantage of what you're getting here.I bought this machine for my wife to use in her home office because her 12" Macbook was acting up and she wanted something more capable. I had to open the case and reseat the RAM to get it to boot at first, and then I had to rip out the PCIe video card so that I could use the two DisplayPorts provided by the mainboard's integrated Intel graphics to connect my wife's dual ultra-wide displays (since the provided AMD Radeon card provided only one HDMI jack and wasted space on a DVI connection instead of providing dual HDMI or dual DP connectivity).Aside from the minor hardware issues, all I had to do was strip out some of the crapware that comes with Windows 10, set up Windows Firewall to block all outgoing telemetry, disable automatic updates (I do it myself weekly), and install my wife's preferred FOSS applications using Chocolatey:- Firefox (web browsing)- Thunderbird (email)- Krita (conventional graphics)- Inkscape (vector graphics)- Foobar 2000 (music playback/management)- VLC (video and DVD playback)- LibreOffice- MalwareBytes Free Edition (antivirus with manual scanning/removal)My wife is well pleased with this PC, though I suspect she'll outgrow the 256GB SSD provided by the refurbisher, but it will be a simple matter to shut the machine down, open the case (no screwdriver needed for the part) and install a multi-terabyte spinning rust drive in one of the free 3.5" bays. Might upgrade the machine's RAM from 8GB to 16GB or 32GB while I've got it open; 8GB really isn't enough for Windows 10 regardless of Microsoft's propaganda.
