That looks like a neat little unit. Thanks for the link. Do you have one? Would it run things like Zwift and Minecraft ok?
Hey yeah I have the i7 version will easily play Minecraft and run zwift.
Agreed. A slight bump in CPU performance and a larger (but still small) SSD don't justify a $100 increase, especially when you lose the bonus of the Lenovo's small form factor.
Too bad it's back to OOS again now
I couldn't justify $300 for the G1. Used G3's (6th gen processors) are occasionally down to mid to high $400s.
Agreed, this price for a 4th gen Haswell unit is just isn't competitive.
Price seems to be a bit hard to swallow at first glance…
However, I believe the seller put a current 240GB SSD and swap the DDR3 RAM to 8GB to this system and these 2 components worth ~$120 alone already.
Reality is this refurbish PC will run much smoother than a new cheap Celeron notebook with HDD and it may still have room for addition HDD upgrade.
Sure, but when you can put together a superior brand new system with warranty for $100 more, this isn't good value.
Alternatively, stick with second-hand (which is what these "refurbished" items are) and you can find plenty of 8GB/4570/120GB systems for $200 or so.
This would be a decent deal at $199, but not $299.
Is a AMD Athlon 3000G better than a Intel 4570?
Better single-threaded performance, but loses some ground in multi-threaded workloads. It's also a lower TDP part, so less heat and (theoretically at least) less noise.
The main reason the build I posted is better is upgradability (i.e., there is some). You could put a 3200G in that rig for ~$80 more and have a genuinely decent PC, even add a GPU.
I guess the only issue here is the cost for a legit license for Windows 10 (and without going a dodgy VLK).
If you're buying a $200 PC, you can put up with the restrictions on the non-activated Windows ;)
Any PC that survived 3 years+ doesnt have any consequental imperfections in any of its parts, is going to be stable and last many more years, provide you use it appropriately.
An elchepo notebook might see a 25% failure rate within the first 2 years, and U end up with a spare HDD.
What's the point when comparably priced new parts (when compared with upgrading this unit) will have an actual warranty that will sufficiently cover the bathtub curve?
Any good for blueiris? Or any other recommendation? Thanks.
