Newer but not faster. If you spec the HP with 8GB ram and a 128GB SSD, it's $269 ($69 more) for a slower benchmark processor and no discrete Radeon GPU.
Look at single core benchmark carefully…..
That's why benchmarks have an overall score… and also why CPUs get made with 32+ threads.
Bus and memory speeds are much faster on the 6th Gen vs 3rd Gen by far. It's not just about raw computational capability.
6th gen is certainly more efficient, but you are giving up 4 threads.
but that ebay i5-6500 PC, when you add in the 240 GB SSD, its goes up to $309, $249 is with an old 500GB Mechanical HDD, will need to be replaced immediately….just saying.
I had one [its a HP G4 i think, 480GB SDD, 8GB RAM, i5-6500] and I couldn't get anyone interest for $250.
It's literally $20 difference (via the drop down box) to change from the 500GB mechanical Drive to a 128GB SSD.
Pretty good deal if you just need a system to get you through.
Could be wrong but may have an AMD Radeon 7350 512MB which is not shown in the specs… It's a $15 graphics card but still a bonus.
Looking for a couple of machines to update my kids' pcs. They're running quadcore q6600s so pretty old now, so these would be an upgrade.
Question is, would a full size gpu like a R9 290x or a gtx1050 fit in one of these?
Wow that brings back memories, the first computer I bought had the q6600. I had it overclocked up to 3ghz using the stock cooler it came with. Was, and probably still is very capable.
Yeah they're great machines
Sorry No, Please contact me 1300 724 968 or 0413 325 051 I may can make you 2 desktops in Mid Tower but in Dell i5.
Thank you, will do
no chance a 290x, maybe a 1050. I know Gigabyte have a 1050 Ti model that is designed to fit in these SFF PC's
Ok, thanks for that. The 290x is a monster
I have one of these machines and I bought a low profile 1030, think it was from Umart for $120/$140.
Only 2gig ram but ddr5. Runs roblox, minecraft and fork knife. Doesn't need any other power.
Added another stick of ram and it works fine. I did get this unit cheaper though, Wouldn't throw the same money at this price.
Wife uses it as WFH, kids use it for homework.
.
These PCs are at least 8 years old. Don't pay money for one of these.
Guess their business model should be that they source and refurb working capable PC's and give them away?
Nope; low profile 1050ti is likely your top of the line option here.
Also, lack of power connectors will limit you.
3rd gen i7. I wouldn't buy this if I were you. now is 11th Gen, it means the computer is already 6+ years old. The power supply probably will fail very soon. Don't waste your time on old computer.
I built a system with this processor and chipset back in 2012. So it's nearly a decade old. And doubt it would be in great condition after all those years of use. Sorry OP but selling this stuff which I'm sure you pick up from mass auctions at $20-50 is unfair on the consumers who don't know much about computers.
I suggest people go to gumtree, sometimes you find newer pc for similar price.
Most of these are corporate machines too - that may be different in operating hours. Capacitors and other components have limited lifespans on the Motherboards and never know when these will go realistically.
@Corejava: I disagree. I have a old HP 800G1 i5 16GB Ram running ESXi 7 with 5 VMs (Win10, SophosUTM, PiHole, HomeAssistant & Backup VM). Been purring along for a few years now. With SSD drive and 8GB+ Ram, it runs Win10 and apps just fine. It comes down to what you use it for I suppose. Its cheap and does the job.
Depends what you want out of it.
If it was a mission critical system, no I wouldn't buy one. But then again, you could buy a new $1000 PC with a cheap power supply (from a regular OzBargain retailer, for example) that pops in 18 months anyway.
For something reliable for 5 years onwards, you have to spend decent money on higher grade components, above and beyond a $200 system.
Can anyone help me whether it is worth to buy this laptop https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/333348605505?epid=725072516&_trk…
That's a bit old. With a system of that age the battery will likely need replacing too. Spend a little more if you can afford it for something like this:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Lenovo-ThinkPad-E14-G2-AMD-Ryzen…
"Spend a little more" . That's over 4 times the price
There's 20% off at the moment. And how did you get 4 times as much. When I looked at it it was $699. The Lenovo's can be had for around $900.
@dazzles: Yes, and? $1079 - 20% is $863.20. less than the $900 I stated above. $863.20 - $699 = $164.20. that's the difference between the two systems. The Lenovo is much more powerful and brand new. While the one in question is old and second hand. Which do you think would serve the person better? And a difference of $164.20 is not 4 times as much. Moron!
@[Deactivated]: I think you're the moron. Your $699 has got nothing to do with it. We're comparing $863.20 vs the price of this deal at $200. I guess that's what morons do, insult others because they're hurt that nobody likes what they have to say.
@dazzles: You idiot he is asking about a laptop in the above link. Not about what the op has stated above. Totally different systems. Read before you jump to conclusions and talk crap.
When buying 2nd hand notebooks, factor in the cost of a new battery in case the existing one only lasts 30mins or the likes. Batteries are easily replaced and part of owning a notebook. Personally, I never care about battery life as long as it has 10mins on it. Allows one to move it from one table to another and plug back in.
Can we say any computer with a setup which is over 5years old is never a bargain. And further should not be listed in this site!
What is your rationale? These computers can easily last another 3~5 years, come with a 1 year warranty* and Windows 10 is officially supported till Oct 2025.
The cheapest brand new OEM PC you can buy is an Intel NUC, but the cheapest barebones NUC that comes with an Intel Pentium J5005 costs around $300, add RAM and an SSD and you are looking at over $400 or double the price of this. But the i7-3770 is twice as fast as a J5005 in both single and multicore benchmarks. A NUC consumes less power, but to save $200 in electricity bills you'll have to use a NUC for 10+ years (with an average of 4+hrs daily use) !
Bottom line: as far as performance for value goes these can beat a number of brand new PCs that cost many times more.
But having said that, I don't think this setup is worth $200, at best I'd say $150. Because there are cheaper alternatives elsewhere (gumtree, FB market place etc..) without warranty*.
*I personally don't think the so-called warranty is worth much, for one I don't know how easy it is to claim warranty from an outfit like this, and these PCs generally last a long time, so you don't really need a warranty. Because if they lasted 5 years they will most likely last at least another year.
@ahammet got a point there, these PCs are always around under $200 mark. Hence its not a bargain even you can use it for few more years.
Agreed, and it doesn’t feel like these older ones have gotten any cheaper over the years either.
I paid about $200 for an Optiplex with an i7 3770 about three years ago.
I don't think anyone that has posted zero deals can comment on what is and isn't a 'bargain'.
Maybe just a bargain hunter 🤣
Too old, go for at least a 4th gen Haswell, minimum they go OK with SSD and 8GB but only for Office type stuff
Even then only if cheap.
I think there needs to be some clarification behind what constitutes a bargain. Is it a good price of what it is (similar specced refurb)? Or in the context of whether the computer represents good value (considering age. etc.). I would argue its the former rather than the latter, otherwise people would argue a Louis Vuitton bag at 50% off is not a bargain when it definitely is.

Plenty of better specced HP EliteDesk G2's for the same or for $50 more. Using a much newer and faster 6500 processor instead of this.

Not a bargain at all.
