TL;DR: As of October 1, get the HP ProDesk 600 for just $209.99 — a 27% discount.
On the lookout for a low-cost computer you can use for work or school? A brand-new PC could get the job done, but it might come with a hefty price tag. If you’re on a PC shopping budget, you could have better luck with a refurbished desktop. You might even be surprised at the kind of hardware some of these computers have under the hood.
This HP ProDesk may be originally from 2013, but it still has 16GB RAM and a hefty solid state drive. Get this refurbished desktop along with a wired keyboard and mouse on sale for only $209.99.
Score a desktop with 16GB RAM
This computer may have a few years on it, but the hardware still holds up — 16GB of RAM is still what you’ll find on a brand-new MacBook Pro — and a 480GB SSD has plenty of room for a variety of apps and ample file storage.
The processor may be one area where some refurbished computers fall short, but this one has an Intel i7-4770 3.4GHz processor. It might not be up for modern games, but you could still smoothly multitask on different productivity apps like Microsoft Office or a Microsoft Office alternative like OfficeSuite.
Just because it’s refurbished, doesn’t mean this computer looks used. The “A” rating means it’ll arrive in near-mint condition, though there’s a chance you could notice some very faint scuffs on the case. The only other signs of its age you can expect on this desktop are the ports. It has a lot of them, including multiple USB ports on the front and back, a disk drive, and more.
One thing to look out for is that you can either go online by connecting an ethernet cable or by plugging in the included Wi-Fi Dongle, which does take up one of the USB ports.
Save on a versatile desktop with great specs
Don’t pay for a brand-new computer when a quality refurbished device can get the job done for way cheaper.
