@[email protected] sad to see android this high in the list. We are losing the desktop pc's. I believe the desktop pc is undervalued! And should return to more households. It's more powerful than a laptop or mobile. You can run Linux. And it's also more ergonomic than looking down all day. Hehe
@[email protected] @[email protected] agree. About to get mini computer
@[email protected] @[email protected] and use the cloud for all the compute☁️? No thanks. Just give me a workstation already 🤣🤗
@[email protected] @[email protected] I one I looking at has 2 SSD drives and room for HDD for backup. Want small SSD for / and programs, larger one for /home so I can easily reinstall/upgrade, with the HDD as data backup. I have my own cloud on my hosted server for stuff. Want mini for portability between places, but sick of laptop and neck issues, want a nice keyboard and mouse,
@[email protected] @[email protected] ah I see. That sounds like a in between desktop and laptop kinda system. Sounds actually pretty cool.
What about your screen? Especially how do you bring that on eye level?
@[email protected] @[email protected] monitor on work desk, just like a desktop computer. I knew them as NUC.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I see. I get what you're after now. It's always better than mobile phone for sure. And most likely much more ergonomic than a laptop. I just hope the performance are good enough to your liking.
Gpu you don't really need I suppose. So igpu would be sufficient. Maybe ideally with a fast amd 7040 series cpu and ddr5 would be blazing fast. Together with a fast m2 ssd indeed.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I have been given a 24" monitor, perfect for desktop, and have usb keyboard and mouse and usb hub. Just need the NUC/mini computer.
