I need new computer, say 16Gb RAM, 512 Gb SSD, i5 plus cd/dvd player and Black Friday conveniently beckons BUT whilst a laptop would mean access to a computer in any room in the house (a big advantage for me) £££ repair costs & lifetime issues steer me away from laptops and towards getting another solid desktop (Apple is not an option
Cruising the BFriday deals reveals unexpected options like the Dell Optiplex which seems to do same as a normal desktop but at a fraction of the size, then there are the All-in-One monitors with the computer built into the display…. so what to do. Anyone got a mini tower, Optiplex type compact or an All-in-One PC and if so are they actually any good and do they need a cable-link to the modem router (like a desktop) or can they be retrofitted with a ‘magic board’ presumably complete with a built-in aerial to give the device mobility, at least within a house? Thanks in advance! DT
