If you want the performance of a desktop without all the cords and components you might consider an all in one. This one coming at an affordable price. Nothing being perfect it could use 4 more gigs of RAM for multitasking more involved functions but it comes adequately equipped with a four core 8 thread Ryzen 3 running at 2.4 which has plenty of power for the average user. the 512 SSD is more than enough storage to function and the 8 gigs of ram with 512MB reserved for graphics makes it adequate for lighter gaming and home and office or home office. with a 23.8" full HD screen it has all the basics you need. on the flipside it does come with a bit of bloatware and you might want to invest in better speakers if you love music.
