I mean, for gaming this is defo not the best at this price point but for all-rounder this is quite good. But second hand you can get computers with this processor for less than £50 if you are lucky

Good value, especially when buying second hand from Chinese sellers. It only costs about 40 USD but beats 4th gen i5.
