Remember desktop PCs? People used to use them before laptops were powerful. Some people still use them today, believe it or not! I have one – ha! If you want to see what all the fuss is about in regards to desktop PCs, then Woot! has a pretty stellar deal on a quad-core Gateway system with 8GB of RAM for $480 – it’s refurbished but carries a 90-day warranty.
Other specs include:
- Intel Core2 Quad Q8200 CPU at 2.33GHz, 4MB L2 cache, 1333MHz FSB
- 8GB DDR2 RAM
- NVIDIA GeForce GT120 GPU with 1GB DDR2 memory
- 640GB SATA hard drive (7200RPM)
- Card reader, HDTV tuner, 8-channel audio, DVD burner, Gigabit Ethernet
- Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit
So for $480, there’s plenty of pop here. Might take a while before this thing is
OBSOLETE
Yeah, that was the secret word.
If you buy this now, do you still get the free upgrade to windows 7?
I would highly doubt it, refurbs don’t qualify for the free upgrade unless the OEM specifically supports it. Woot would almost certainly list the availability of the free upgrade at the bottom if it were eligible.
Is this eligible for an extended warranty through gateway/acer
What!
I still use my Desktop PC, because it is way more powerfull that any laptop
This=more powerful than my desktop.
Me=broke.
Funny how these things never work out.
OVER NIGHT
i don’t get it, is obsolete supposed to be that special word?
guess
Where can I buy it?
Today still prefer to use the desktop.
