Device.
This device was released in 2021 and I purchased this in February 2022 for about £110. It's an insult that products such as these exist in the 2020s. Dual core processors and 4GB of RAM have no place in these times, because my previous device was a Lenovo Ideapad (also 4GB and dual core processor) that I got in 2017, I was unaware of just how limited dual core processors at the time and in the coming years.
Unfortuantely, computers with poor specs are being sold for £300+ at major department stores. This link (https://archive.ph/XiaIV) shows the cheapest desktop computer sold by Argos. £329 for a desktop computer with a four core CPU and 8GB of ram? My £25 refurbished computer came with an i5 4th Gen and 8GB of RAM! Later I upgraded it by adding another 1 stick of 8GB of RAM and a GTX 745 4GB which brings the total amount to something around £60. My £60 computer can destroy a £300+ computer from a department store.
