I think the prices are pretty good. Opinions?
I've never used an AMD, so I'm not too sure.
I'm going to be using it mainly for school.
Is it wise to wait until black Friday?
Any insight would be appreciated.

PC - I won't recommend slimline unless you are lack of space. It would be hard to do any upgrade in future

You can consider these Asus/ Lenovo instead

pricing is reasonable, but not great. What will your main use for the system be? I'm guessing office documents and internet/email? Not a gaming computer is my point.
