It’s refurbished but I’ve bought a few refurbs from them before and they are still fine, although obsolete now.
Desktop though. Haven't used wunna them for 15 years, although TBH I could.
I checked their laptops and those prices are nuttin' special. Thanks though, got me thinking.

Yeah, I just figured someone here might find it useful. Especially if they mainly do the mundane computer tasks. Free shipping too!

Refurbs are not for everyone.
#1 - they are hit and miss. You WILL get a lemon occasionally.
#2 - they are typically low in memory. Many only have the very minimum required to boot Win 10 - the link goes to a 4GB RAM system... let me tell you how much of a headache 4GB is on Win 10. Good luck.
#3 - they all have outdated processors, ok for very simple use but in conjunction with the low physical memory... it is gonna be slow.
In a nutshell, if you simply cannot afford a computer... then roll the dice and buy one. But honestly... you will do better with a Chromebook than one of these.

Yes, because it was backwards compatible with the C64.

Well there is that....
My first computer was a C128... loved that computer.
It was so much more than a gaming computer, a reputation that Commodore couldn't shake.
You take a C128 with the 1000s of available programs, superior memory allocation, vastly superior graphics than any other computer at the time - and it beat the living shit out of IBM clones. Not even close.
It could do 5 times that of a DOS machine, twice as fast and twice as cheap.
