Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

What do you think of this, both in terms of price and quality?

For pretty basic stuff, light browsing, youtube, Microsoft office, pictures, etc.
you can get the i7 version for 579

Not crazy about a refurb...plus I like Costco's customer service.

Would you say the computer I originally posted is bad quality, or expensive for what it has?

It's a nice machine but a bit expensive, I think you can get better this time of year
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

The only difference is Windows 7 vs. 10.
