People here seem to willingly not understand the point i was making at the start of this thread. I'll make it easier.
This product is 90$. It has a very old CPU in it, similar in strength to dual-core Ivy-Bridge pentiums, and a motherboard which does not allow it to be upgrade-able. '
This product was meant for budget systems, right?
Here's the problem. The current Athlon 200GE can be found with its cooler for 50$. A competible board could be found in sales for 40-50$. This option is:
- Upgradeable
- Tweakable
- has 50%+ speed in apps
- has a powerful and relevant built-in GPU with proper driver support
- Has power consumption that is actually similar
- Has way more, and newer outputs and expend-ability
Saving those 10-20$ now would critically harm the user's current, and future experience with the system, and make them spend
more money, and
sooner. There is no actual savings here.
Product is DOA. And regarding BIOSTAR, yes. I was honest, BIOSTAR seems like a mess, with recent product launches like these, that i'm actually sure are posted on TPU to generate discussions just about how ludicrous you have to be as a hardware company to come up with them these days. Their GPU division is unoriginal and coolers are lacking and get bombarded with bad reviews, Their Motherboard division always seem to lag behind the rest with componentry and software. This company should not exist in 2019. It goes against every rule of survival in this industry.
