Daily Usage Today

This device is still usable for basic tasks like web browsing and text editing today. It can also run non-resource-intensive games or cloud gaming.

We recommend upgrading the RAM to 8 GB and to switch the mechanical hard drive to an SSD.

This device will fully work on Windows 11 with proper drivers.
