Thanks; this is also a refurb, and only $183 total cost! I figure it can't be that bad with those specs because what I am using now is an I3 processor and only 4GB of RAM. Plus this thing I am using now was acting funky yesterday so I figured what I bought would be nice.

That's a hell of a price. Are you sure there aren't possums building a nest in the motherboard or something?

I just think prices for computers have gone down because these specs for a brand-new machine are only like $450-650 so the refurbs are just way cheap. I have bought refurbs online before with no problem

See for me you're adding an extra 109 dollars for shipping. Let's see if Amazon UK have it, and what the difference is.

So in the chrome settings I disabled new tabs from being opened because I was using one of those illegal movie sites that open 719485 new tabs before you can play your video, but I'm obviously gonna need that option enabled again so later I try to go to my settings and unfortunately whoever worked on this one specifically didn't have a brain and the settings tab itself isn't allowed to open. So I tried typing it into the address bar directly which would not open a new tab but just take me there, but as of 20 minutes ago that is apparently no longer true and the page couldn't open. So I closed chrome and tried to open again into a different account where this option had presumably not been switched, but I can't open the browser.

I can't open new windows but can open new incognito windows since apparently the former are actually tabs and the latter are not. Doesn't make a lot of sense.
