[bapexsubcrew]

Any pros here can advise on the specs which is sufficient for web browsing and youtube video streaming rig for my parents?

Budget around 350 +/- 50. Lower the better. Hehe. Thanks!

This PC comes with:
Intel Celeron 1037U
2GB RAM
64GB SSD
Windows 8.1

No need to worry about video playback it will even play Youtube 1080p60 very fine....

I've used a underclocked Celeron G1610 to match this Zbox's performance, together with 4GB RAM and 60GB SSD. It works very well, around 30-50% load.

Is this legal? Has anyone encountered problem with their license key after some time?

Product key is inter-usable between 32 & 64-bit as long as same edition and same retail channel. This was the case for Windows 7.
