Is this a good Desktop from bestbuy??
i want to upgrade my computer since i haven't in years. I don't need anything fancy, just something faster for me to basicly load up and surf the net. I dont need it for gaming, mostly music and watch movies sometimes.

so i know it's refurbish but it's cheap... i dont' know much about computers so any help would be great! thank you

yea pretty much anything is good for web and music. that said what about buying a 400 dollar laptop instead? i rarely recommend desktops anymore to friends unless they're looking for a workstation or gaming pc.

It's sufficient for your daily needs if it's just, internet browsing, emails and some music/videos. Besides, it doesn't really make sense to get a crazy computer to do basic needs stuff, right?.

You'd be stuck with a 15" screen though.
