So with everything it comes with(I mean all the technical features) is it a good/decent computer? And if so rate it on a scale of 1-10
(also dont treat it like a gameing computer cuz i know its not and i wont play games on it anyhow) Also if you think its good, why is it? (by the tech specs i mean)
Here are my thoughts, and I don't do much gaming on my computer (so don't worry, I won't be giving you any "good to play games" bullcrap).
First off, you can tell a lot from the customer reviews, so you might want to review those, however, based on the average customer reviews, I'd say the computer is decent. However, upon actually examining the tech specs, we see a bit more of the real story...
I'd say, overall, its a decent computer. It'll be amazing for small tasks, like photos, video, music, or web-browsing (as long as you're not doing anything to intensive). It'll be decent for any larger tasks as well, such as programming or gaming if that's the kind of stuff that interests you.
The product details look decent, the computer isn't obscenely big, and seems to come with a nice monitor - that's what really counts, all the technical features isn't as important as things like the size of the monitor and what not.
I'd say, for the overall specs, I'd rate it about 8/10.
It has a decent processor, its triple-core, meaning it can handle more processes and 2.1 GHz is a decent speed. 4 GB of RAM is decent, really about average in most computers these days, DDR2 SDRAM is decent, not the highest quality and most power efficient, but it is pretty much expected in most computers. A 640 GB HDD is decent, its not super huge and pretty much average on most computers anyways, it is quite a bit of storage though, so you should be fine on that end. The only thing better for that would be one of those terabyte HDDs or perhaps an SSD, however that's not really important. SATA is pretty much standard in computers nowadays, so nothing special there.
Again, all in all, its a decent computer, it'll run excellently for everyday tasks, and at around the expected rate for larger tasks.
