I see plenty of deals for refurb machines for around £100, with large harddrives, i5 processors. Windows 10/11
I assume these will be ok and it's not really taxing to run this software?","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50905582","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"deleted655321"},"datePublished":"2023-09-02T09:50:50.000Z","text":""},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50906175","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"EndlessWaves"},"datePublished":"2023-09-02T11:39:05.000Z","text":"Intel has been using the i5 branding for nearly fifteen years at this point so that doesn't tell you anything about how fast the CPU is. A lot of second hand places are seem to be installing Windows 11 on systems that don't meet the minimum requirements without tell you so that's no guarantee of a recent system either.
I'd try and get something from 2018 like an i3-8100-based system as that'll officially support Windows 11 so there's no risk of wierd compatibility issues in future."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/50907047","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"one_eight_seven"},"datePublished":"2023-09-02T14:15:24.000Z","text":"What is the required and recommended requirements for the software that you require?
