i completely agree with you.
and if your smart u can buy a macbook cheaper. i got like a 1-2 year old macbook air for 580 bucks on ebay and it still feels like its new
and an ssd makes such a difference its like night and day.
Exactly dudes buying these struggle computers, if you don't do anything "complex" then why even buy a PC? Just cop a Tablet and call it a day. Buy cheap you buy twice. I`m not even going to entertain the excuses dudes are posting either, because if you really just want a throw away computer to watch pron on and use MS office you will just go to Tiger Direct and buy the cheapest joint on there. IMO it is idiotic to warrant spending 500 on a "non essential" but call 800-1k too much. Its one thing if you are talking about a 199 Chrome Book to a 1500 MBP or ASUS, but if you are going to spend 500 why not just go all the way cheapo and cop a 199 Off Lease Refurb computer off of Tiger Direct/Ebay, since you "don't do much", hell you can cop a MS Surface for 200 bucks that runs MS Office, and will run pretty much everything you do on a windows PC. Once again "Mid range" PCs are trash and created so places like Best Buy can get you to tac on accessories and software and not feel bad when you walk out the door spending 800 but you got a "ton of extras". I sold computers and worked in PC repair most of College, and I can tell you this only PCs you see coming in for issues are them garbage 500 dollar Dells, HPs, etc.
