At $222, this machine was a steal. It appeared to be a powerhouse: i5, 16 GB memory, 2 TB hard drive. I was coming from a 2012 Dell with i3, 4 GB, and 1 TB, so I really expected a jump in performance. Yet this new machine, with all that poop, still can't give me a foto background on Zoom calls. Nor is it noticeably faster with Photoshop editing. And this is after I had the HD replaced with a 1 TB SSD.The guy who replaced it told me this new machine is also about 8 yrs old, going by the serial no. of the CPU. I knew it was a rebuild; didn't know it was THAT old. But still.It serves my purposes, so I am happy enough with it. If it holds up for 5 yrs, I'll say it was a bargain.Bottom Line: It works great, just not the speed demon I was expecting.
