I would budget an additional $40 for a cheap SSD.

$420 for an i3 desktop without an SSD doesn't feel like a "cheap" price. A laptop with an external monitor would be what I would spend the money on.

Be a nice person and enjoy life

Winblows 10 is unbearable on an HD. Plus the fact that this thing uses an Intel chip does not help at all.

The description states: "you can store plenty of photos, music, and other files on its 1TB hard drive. The 256GB SSD offers shorter boot times and faster transfer speeds. "

Does it have both HD and SSD?

Notice that the ebay vendor is Lenovocanada.

I bought a Lenovo tablet from that vendor on ebay. It seems to be a way for Lenovo to get rid of discontinued models.

Probably not a bad price but it seems a bit hard to figure out the specs -- I didn't find any real reviews.

HDMI 1.4b, not 2.0. UltraHD at 60Hz isn't going to work (except, perhaps, with chroma subsampling). Veto.

Here's the PSREF page:

No SSD. Cut-and-paste error in creating the ebay listing?

It's not that bad actually
I would call it a deal considering it comes with 4C/8T cpu, 8GB RAM in ITX form factor with some potential upgrade ability (one 2.5 hdd slot and 1 M2 slot)

Might be YMMV, when I open ebay today, I found that Lenovo is offering me this computer for $398.99, very interesting.
