| Processor | With an extremely low single core score, this CPU can barely handle email and light web browsing. Finally, with a gaming score of 14%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is terrible. |
| Graphics | 1.55% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics) |
| Boot Drive | 35.5% is low SSD score. With a better SSD this system will boot faster, make applications more responsive and reduce IO wait times. |
| Memory | 4GB is enough RAM to run any version of Windows and although it's sufficient for most games, some will benefit from up to 8GB of RAM. 4GB is also enough for modest file and system caches which allow for a responsive system. |
| OS Version | Although Windows 8.1 is a recent version of Windows, it's worth upgrading to Windows 10 which has had several improvements made to the user interface including a better homescreen. |
