  I watch enough dankpods to know getting old tech brand new is never a good sign

  I have one that's sole purpose is to plug in to an old flatscreen at christmas time that gets put in front of the fireplace to play christmas fireplace scene on loop.

  I once sold an old phone to CEX. It had spent its entire life in a case with a screen protector on. I sold it in the original box, with all the official accessories it came with. They claimed to have found a scratch on it during testing and gave it a B grade.<br><br>The next day, I walked past the store, glanced in the window, and saw my exact model of phone listed as an A grade. It was one of the less common models, so I very much doubt they had acquired another device with that exact spec in less than 24 hours.

  Had one thinking it was a gaming PC but small. Naive me couldn&apos;t figure out why War Thunder couldn&apos;t run at movie graphics like my friends PC with a GTX 1080ti at the time

  Let me tell you, as someone who deployed some of these when I was working in I.T. in 2015, they are absolutely horrendous. We opted for Windows 8 because it performed better over Windows 10 at the time. All we were using them for was basically a way of putting some digital signage on some TV&apos;s around a university campus. This even proved too much for them with the things often crashing and rebooting. By default, they had macafee installed on the win 8 versions we had, which I promptly uninstalled because the things were just too weak to handle it.

  Congratulations on buying what might very well be my compute stick which I traded into CEX not long ago. Mine was a 2015 model traded in box with that exact specification. I keep everything in the box when I own something 😅 I traded it because 2GB was a struggle it wasn&apos;t too bad for basic emulation.
