Disclaimer: I've never used one of these, so I'm just going off the listed specs. I think if you're looking for a really basic computer that doesn't take up a lot of room, and you're not considering a laptop and instead just want a basic stationary computer, you could definitely do worse for the price. The hard drive space is decent, as is the 8gb of RAM. The weakest point is the CPU; it's slow and about on par with a basic smart phone. However, if you're not going to be doing much more than basic stuff (web surfing, basic applications), then it should be more than fine.

For the price, it seems like a good deal for a low end all in one. The amount of memory is decent. If you don't expect too much, it should be fine for many basic tasks.

I tried looking up reviews and benchmarks for that CPU model, but there's very little available. The performance I did find showed very low end performance, like somewhat slower than a low end Pentium 2020M from 2013.

Thanks. What speed CPU should I look for?
I'd say that the clock speed isn't super critical; it's more about the cores and threads a CPU has. This processor has two cores and two threads; I'd recommend one with at least two cores and four threads, and would strongly recommend four cores and four threads, but that of course is going to cost more. More cores and threads means your computer is going to run applications faster and smoother. It also really depends on what you want to use the computer for. If you're just using it for basic things then the CPU isn't really going to matter as much as the amount of RAM, and this computer has plenty. It basically just means that the computer won't be as future-proof as something with a better CPU.
