    AMD E1-2500 (1.4GHz) enough for office work?

    Indeed Chromium is a solution for this kinda crappy CPUs. Although I prefer to use Lubuntu (XCe) for low specifications machines. It gives so much software and performs excellently, as shown on my Pentium II and my iMac G4 1.4 GHz machines. I'm not sure if E1 CPUs can be software overclocked...

    AMD E1-2500 (1.4GHz) enough for office work?

    Clearly that depends on the use you want to give to the PC. If it is going to be an all-purpose computer, forget it. If it is to be a work tool, like office, emails and web surfing, then go for it. For little more you have more AMD options (you don't have to go Intel to have great performance...

    AMD E1-2500 (1.4GHz) enough for office work?

    I can't possibly agree more with you, although I find your statement "almost from the start" a little bit exaggerated. However, I would agree with that last statement in the quite often case where the computer comes with all the crap that the builders (HP, Acer, Asus, Packard Bell...) include as...

    Any integrated graphics sufficient for gaming?

    Agreed, the AMD A10-4600M is the most powerful APU in the market. I've tested it against an Intel i7 4702MQ which is a clearly faster CPU, but when coming to gaming the A10 beats it for a fraction of the price.

    AMD E1-2500 (1.4GHz) enough for office work?

    The AMD E1-2500 is a lower end APU, but that doesn't mean it won't perform well under most day-to-day circumstances. I believe the main problem when coming to slow computers with modern low end CPUs, is badly mantained computers full of malware, low on memory and with slow or with little...
