Hello, Anyway, insidethisboxis a prebillPCthatmyfriendboughtforme.
Nowthereasonmyfriendpurchasedthiswasbecause I didn't wanttoknowwhatspecificationswereinside.
No, I wantedtodo a littlebitofaninvestigationintotheworldofflowcost, prebuiltsystems.
Ifyouorsomeoneyouknowisprettyunknowledgeablewhenitcomestocomputerhardwareandyoujustwanttopurchase a cheapcomputerthat's goingtohandleallofyourdailytaskswithease, oratleastyouhopeitwillshouldyougodownthisroute.
ButhereintheUK, thisonecost £150 itcomesfrom e buyerdotcom, a prettygoodcompanythat I'veusedonmultipleoccasions.
Let's take a lookintheboxitselfnow, althoughit's forme, but I haveThePCseemstocomefrom a companycalledPunchTechnology, andafterlookingthemup, itseemsthatthey'reactuallyreallygoodintermsoftheirtrust.
Pilotratings.
Theyseemtobe a verydecentwebsiteindeedforpurchasingPreblegamingrigs.
Atleasttheyhaveverygoodcustomerfeedbacknow.
As I said, I wouldn't buy a prebuiltcomputermyself.
Butofcourse, therealtestwillbeastowhetherthisfeelsfastenoughtouseon a dailybasis.
Now, ifyou'reshoppingaroundfor a newPC, thenit's fairtosaythat a lotofpeoplewouldpreferWindows.
I thinkforthegeneraluserandthebasicuserWindowsis, inmyopinion, thebetterchoicebecausenotthatmanypeoplearefamiliarwiththingsliketheBantu.
Andifsomeonewhoisreallynotthatknowledgeablepurchasesoneofthese, thentheymaybeoffto a bitof a shakystart.
Though I thinkwhenyou'veactuallygotthespecificationsinfrontofyouandlike I had, you'regoingtonoticethatnowheredoesitsaywhenthose 10 onthatmaystopyoupurchasingitinthefirstplace, whichofcourse, isgoodifyou'relookingforMicrosoft's areless, but I'm gonnagivethis a chance.
Nowyourbanterisn't exactlythemostintenseoperatingsystem, andseeingitstruggleheredidn't exactlysoundpromising, especiallywhen I wasabouttoseehowWindows 10 performedaswell.
I alsothenmovedonovertoYouTubetoseehowvideoplayback, when I lookedatthisfatkidwith a bighead, startedtoplayoneofhisprettycoolvideoswhoyoushoulddefinitelysubscribetoondhe.
Yeah, itran.
Okay, 7 20 p was a bitstatuaryand 10 80 p wasprettymuch a nogo.
Itwas a similarexperienceto, uh, howmyoldMacbookairthat I testedtheotherdayperformed.
Soatthispoint, itwasclearthattheboneswhowas a littletoodemandingforoursystem, theoperatingsystemthatitshippedwithstilldidn't exactlyrunorthatwell, so I decidednonethelesstotryoutWindows 10 anyway.
Now, initially, I thoughtperhapsWindowsevenwouldfare a littlebetter.
So I begantheinstallationprotest, butunfortunatelyitwouldnotdetectmykeyboardormouse, nomatterwhatUSBportused.
Lookingintothis a littlemoreanditseemsthat I'm nottheonlyonewho's experiencedthis, andinordertofixit, I'd havetherunthrough a fewdifferentcommands, etcetera, and I thinkthatfortheeverydaygeneraluserwhomightpickup a machinelikethis.
Doingsomightbe a littlebittoocomplexorjusttimeconsuming.
Ingeneral, I thinkifanyonebuysthisandtheydecidethey'regoingtoupdatetwoWindows, inalllikelihood, thatoperatingsystemwillbeWindows 10.
Itturnedoutthatwedidindeedhave a builtinCeleron, whichbyallmeans, wasn't fantastic.
Itwasslower, infact, than a singlecourseselleron G for 60 from a fewyearsback, scoringjust 66 inthemulticorpstestwe'vegottocauseherewithnohyperthreadingondheonboardIntelHD 400 graphics, whichinthemselvesprobablyaren't thatcapableoffanything.
What I willsaythatisthatWindows 10 seemtorun a littlebitsmoother, thenewbanter, but I didhavetomake a fewchangeschangesthat I'llexplainnow, so I hadtogointothesystempropertiesintotheadvancedsectionanddisableprettymuchalloftheanimations.
Youknowthoseanimationsyougetwhenyoumightopen a startmanureopen a set, folders, somethinglikethat.
Butit's a goodjob, really, becausethisissomething I neededtodoinordertogetbetterperformanceoutofWindows 10 whenjustdoingeventhemostsimpleoftaskswhile I wasinWindows, I decidedtotaketheopportunitytorun a game.
Notmuch.
If I'm honest, we'lllikelyrunonthisconfiguration.
So I decidedtoofaruponexcellentpieceofabandoned, wherebythenameoffbigrigsovertheroadracingprobablyoneofthegreatestvideogamestocomeoutinthelast 50 years.
No, I readthatthemotherboardactuallysupportseightGigsofRam.
Butif I'm beingtotallyhonest, I don't thinkupgradingitwoulddoit.
Theworldofdifference.
Thatprocessthatissimplytooweak, there's nooptionstoadd a graphicstarteitherontheboldandevenifyoudoingstillWindows 10 insteadofbunsyouonhere.
Theexperiencemaybe a littlebitbetterifyoudisablealloftheanimations, butitstillmightleadtothepointwhereyou'refrustratedaftereveryday's usage.
Andforthatreason, I cannotrecommendthissystem.
Ifmoneyistaught, youwant a computertogetonline, keepincontact, then, yes, thiswillsuffice.
Butforeverythingelsewell, I'd seriouslyconsidertaking a lookatthesecondhandmarketnotjustintermsofdesktopsbutlaptopsaswell.
Becauseforthissortofmoney, youwillcertainlyfindsomethingthat's a fewyearsoldfiveorsixyearsold, infact, thatwe'lldo a lotbetterthanthismachineonwiththat.
Well, I thinkit's timetoendgoodeffort, butunfortunatelyyou'regoingbackinthebox.
Sothankyouforwatching.
Thishasbeen a lookatwhat's insidethecheapestprebuiltsystemhereintheUK.
I hopeyou'veenjoyedit.
