| Processor | With an extremely low single core score, this CPU can barely handle email and light web browsing. Finally, with a gaming score of 8.96%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is terrible. |
| Graphics | 1.83% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics) |
| Boot Drive | The boot partition is located on a mechanical or hybrid drive. Moving the system to an SSD will yield far faster boot times, better system responsiveness and faster application load times. |
| Memory | 2GB is enough RAM to run any version of Windows however a minimum of 4GB is recommended for gaming or any other RAM intensive tasks such as photo/video editing. This system will also be a little more responsive with 4GB of RAM. |
| OS Version | Although Windows 10 is not the most recent version of Windows, it remains a great option. |
