Yes, it is. But you have to buy the OS which I think will add to your costs.

Up to you - no OS you'll need to buy one and install via usb.

Found a windows 10 product key for £10 if it’s legit and install free off Microsoft to put on USB. https://www.cjs-cdkeys.com/products/Windows-10-Home-CD-Key-(Digital-Download).html?setCurrencyId=1&google=3918dus783&gclid=Cj0KCQiAy579BRCPARIsAB6QoIbbFMxFs_bWphyfpoCytbkJQebPLsfG2XbFY36GdOfA8Qf3QzsZIX0aAqkaEALw_wcB

Thanks for your help. The one you suggested seems better value for money for the extra £50.

Not seeing anything better there for that price. It's pretty good. See the opening post about hard drive size though, it's a bit on the small size, but easily upgrade or get an external usb thumb drive/flash drive.

For 50 quid extra

Better graphics card and a better processor. 

Processor compare below.

 

Thanks would it be  windows 10, 32 or 64 bit I would need to install if I got this?
