Pros

• Low cost
• Good features
• Low power requirements

Cons

• Real world gaming performance boost with discrete card added not huge

Verdict
In the end the 780G chipset and the Athlon X2 4850e processor are a great bargain for the amount of performance they offer. You could use this system to work all day and then play some games when 5pm rolls around. The performance gains in real world gaming with the HD 3450 weren’t huge, but they were there. This is a very appealing system for entry-level computer gamers looking for the ability to play direct 10 games at a bargain price.
