About

This was one of the last Celeron based machines I ever daily drove. For £250 brand new at Christmas 2015 from Argos, this is what you got.

It was my first machine with Windows 10 preinstalled, and I believe it shipped with version 1511 (November 2015) or the original 1507 from July 2015. I later updated it to 1607, the Anniversary Update.

The Celeron was slow, and pairing it with a hard drive made it horrendous. I never touched the internal hardware.

It fell victim to what could be an LVDS cable defect that made its screen be rather intermittent sometimes. I harvested it for parts and chucked it in the bin in 2018.
