THE worst OEM PC EVER (rant)

[hardtofindinthefuture]

Hi, i bought this $500 PEICE OF SHIT back in 2014 and i have ALOT OF reasons why it was a waste of money

 

The cpu

IS SLOW AS FUCk

a 4-core AMD a4 CPU clocked at 1.5Ghz is slower than my old Pentium 4 PC
 

The ram

6GB not bad...

 

HDD

a 1TB drive is good

 

Upgrades?

THERE IS NO PCI-e PCI mini NOTHING NOT A SINGE EXPANSION SLOT AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

this pc was so slow at literately everything

I wanted to get a similar dell PC but the jackass at bestbuy gave me this peice of shit

 

Whatever

This is a matter of opinion. If you wanted a powerhouse or something you could upgrade you should have researched it better. That PC is perfect for the vast majority of families who don't do anything demanding which makes up a good part of the population. At $500 with a warranty it's priced as a family PC and sounds like a great value for a PC from 2014.

That's comparing apples to oranges though. The PC the OP bought wasn't designed for people on this forum and the build you posted isn't designed for the same market as the PC the OP bought.

AMD APU are crap, especially those lower power ones. I have one a E2 dual core at 1.8GHz. I upgrade to 6GB of ram, a SSD, and that thing is still slow. I even did a clean install and it's still the same thing, so the hardware itself is crap to being with. Their A8 or A10 quad cores runs better.

a pc is a pc, saying that it wasnt "designed" for people on this forums is like saying apple computers are a good value because the buyer doesnt know they arent, and it isnt designed for the same market as the OP prebuilt because $500 isnt the price point for something like that, that should be closer to $100-200

i wonder....

My main CPU for 3+ years was a VIA C7-M ULV (1.6GHz) and it was a fraction of the speed of that AMD A4 and it worked perfect for my needs for those 3+ years with 2GB of RAM. It's all a matter of opinion and how you use the PC, if you need something to perform specific tasks don't buy something that won't do it and then get angry at it for not doing what you need.

For the vast majority of households, a warranty is more important than the PC components so spending $500 on $200 worth of hardware with a warranty is worth it to most people who don't have the knowledge or time to build their own PC and who don't want to RMA a single part when it breaks especially if they aren't able to figure out which one part broke.
