Z1 SSD 240GB - Poor 3 years ago.
Solid State Drives

— While it may be recent , there are definitely better ssds around for loading applications and as far as storage space goes . Boot drive is reasonable however .

Intel
HD 4000 (Mobile 1.25 GHz) - Terrible 3 years ago.
Graphics Cards

— Old and terrible . Whines so loud i can barely hear my laptop audio whenever any game made after 2015 is loaded . New portable graphics cards are substantially better .

Intel
Core i5-3210M - Poor 3 years ago.
Processors

— The most i can say for this chip is that its energy efficient , but that is about it. . It only has 2 cores which handicaps it significantly for any non-gaming high level computation . Plus it is easily outclassed by the vast majority of cpus available today for any gaming purposes .

Kingston
99U5469-046.A00LF 9905417-075.A00G 8GB - Poor 3 years ago.
Memory Kits

— 8GB is too small for any reasonable gaming , plus its one of the slowest RAM modules out there .

Samsung
SATA SSD 128GB - Average 3 years ago.
Solid State Drives

— Reasonable startup time but way too small . Ok for non-gaming stuff though .

Intel
HD 3000 (Mobile V2 1.3 GHz) - Terrible 3 years ago.
Graphics Cards

— Hot garbage for anything even remotely intensive . Thankfully intels mobile graphics cards have improved tons since this was released .

Intel
Core i5-2520M - Poor 3 years ago.
Processors

— Ehh . Its decent for the price . Stutters a lot for any large processing or gaming . Wouldn't recommend .

Corsair
Vengeance LPX DDR4 3600 C18 2x8GB - Average 3 years ago.
Memory Kits

— Gets the job done , probably a bit too expensive though .

WD
Blue 1TB (2012) - Good 3 years ago.
Hard Drives

— £35 is insanely cheap . This is really good and reliable for bulk storage . If you are looking for something of higher quality I'd recommend spending a small bit extra for an ssd .

Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
