    It's a pretty basic system suited to general browsing, office programs etc. It wouldn't be geared towards gaming or working with videos.

    What did you want it for?

    Fine for daily use, web browsing, office, watching movies, etc. Great price at 209 in a retail store.

    good price,
    Not a good cpu, for gaming if you wanna play the latest pc games .
    OK as a general use pc for video, web browsing .
    You can always add in more ram, or another hardrive .

    For general day to day use it's absolutely fine..... it'd be hard to get a reasonable system for cheaper.

    I would not try an buy any pc in a shop for less than 200euro.,
    If You want a faster pc, a more powerful cpu , for gaming .
    cheap, look on adverts.ie
    A pc bought in a shop has a 2 year warranty ,
    and will have windows installed with all the necessary drivers .
    When you buy a pc in the shop ,say its 200euro,
    at least 40 euro of that is vat tax.
    if i was buying a tv for 1000,euro i might haggle .
    i dont think you,ll get a cash deal for a 2-300 euro pc .

    Thats not bad value at all. If you spent another 50 quid on that and installed an SSD, you'd have yourself a damn nice little machine for general use.
