Medic Roby Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 So to all the CPU gurus out there... my wife wants a new computer and I am thinking of buying her a HP all in one with touch screen. I need feedback on the specs to see if you guys think it could handle RS3/Overwatch/any game for the matter. I used to be inclined in my knowledge on computers but unfortunately it has been a while since. The spec are below...Thoughts?

Afternine Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 This seems like a rather low-end pc. What will your wife be doing mostly? Link to comment

She just wants an all in one with a touch screen for facebook, email, netflix, and general web browsing. It is my hope to buy something taht will let me game when shes not home haha. Worst case scenario I'll just build one from newegg parts and make it exactly what I want and she can suffice without touch screen. Other than that I am up for opinions/recommendations.

Medic Roby Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Somewhere between $400 low end and $900-1000 high end. But really trying to avoid that high end. The more left over the more I get haha. Link to comment
LiveviI Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 If you are able pick Intel over AMD in this case do it.... AMD cpus other then the no ryzen stuff is based on their old 6 yr ish+ platform... SO basically buying 4+ or more old items. Just wrapped in a new box with ribbons.... If you can pick up a lower end i5 be amazing for a very long while. If one of those breaks the budget which I don't think it would... Pick up a i3...But anything AMD wise now isn't worth it unless its ryzen.... The high end ryzen cpu can match and in some things out perform Intel on the high end cpus Link to comment

The more left over the more I get haha. I was going to recommend getting a surface pro, but that's over the budget by quite a bit. If touch screen is a priority, honestly you may be better served buying a tablet for her, and building a low budget PC for you. I personally own THIS TABLET and it was literally the best purchase I've ever made. If touch isn't a super high priority, you could buy or build a fairly decent PC for under $1000. And, generally speaking you'll pay a premium for an all-in-one computer. Lastly, while 8gb is the standard today for media and gaming, it is quickly becoming outdated. You might want to look for something with 16gb (especially if you plan on playing any early access games that are not well optimized, such as PUBG and Fortnite). Something like this might be more suited to you: Dell Touchscreen Though I don't specifically recommend dell. Link to comment
LiveviI Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Question I should of asked....What kind of PC would she want.... Can it be a laptop? Does it need to be a Touch screen? All in one? or Just a normal desktop Link to comment
