Advantages: not too expensive, nice looking, overall good pc

Disadvantages: a bit standard, not really exceptional

The ThinkCentre A50 8085 has lots of features and technology, including Intel Extreme Graphics 2 performance, six USB 2.0 ports, lots of security features, and powerful software tools to back up and protect your data. Overall i think this is an ok pc, providing you dont install too much memory on it.

I wont go into complicated details like memory size, RAM, etc because most people dont tend to understand them to well. Basicly, underneath all the fancy advertising and posh words this is an average computer for an average person. It would be ideal for a student, like me. I bought this pc for about £500 new recently.

But be warned! This, like many other computers, may seem great at first, but after a while it grinds to a halt while browsing the internet, freezes when playing games, and takes a lifetime to boot up. This of course is not all down to the computer itself, but how much software you install and how often you clean out temporary files, etc. I tend to find now that it is better to invest that little bit extra cash for more memory and power, trust me it ll be worth it in the end.

But, as i said before, if you are a student or person that wont be using this too much it should be fine.
