Daily Usage Today

This device (with the i3 or i5) is still usable for basic tasks like web browsing and text editing today. It can also run non-resource-intensive games or cloud gaming.

On the other hand, the models with the Intel Pentium may suffer of lags and stuttering, that is why the use of this PC is only recommended for web browsing or text editing, or other very basic tasks.

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, but it may experience lags and low stability if equipped with Intel Pentium.
