Except that you are paying significantly more (2-3 times more) than computers that will meet the Op's needs with little benefit to what the Op has stated they are looking for.
For many people, the Perdix may very well be the best and perhaps only logical choice, but that is not the case for someone looking for a "first basic computer".
(And if driven within same driving limits, the R8 is no more dangerous than a Corolla. To adapt the analogy, then, if someone is looking for a basic first car, you wouldn't recommend a fully loaded Lincoln Navigator.)
