  • BananaMeadow on 11/11/2022 - 10:46

    Curious, what do you guys buy these for?

      Personally I grab the refurb versions of these that are in the $200-$400 range from PB tech for friends and family.

      If someone asks me for a laptop recommendation for just personal 'general computer' with a budget of $1000 I usually say its not worth it, and that a better option for a lot of people 2x separate devices
      1) These cheap computers for the few situations you actually need a computer
      2) A mid-range tablet, something like the entry level iPad from last year at just over $500 etc

      TinyMiniMicro computers are the absolute GREATEST computers for people who don't need a discrete GPU.

      They're quiet, take up little space, the 8th Gen onwards ones have mountains of performance, they're effortless to work on (one thumb screw only for access to everything) and heaps of connectivity.

      I don't know about the Dells, but the EliteDesk ones have 2x m.2 slots AND space for a 2.5" drive.

      I used one for three years as my sole computer attached to a pair of 4K60p monitors for coding.

      Have sadly moved on to a full tower desktop as I bought a discrete GPU and outside of GPU tasks it's comparatively noisy, takes up heaps of desk space, and the ports are way less convenient to access. When I want to do internal stuff, it's a major hassle.

      Also bought one for my father and he loves it.

      Anyone running a business with desktop, or anyone who doesn't game at home, will never want anything else after using one of these.

        I've changed to favour laptops more now. I was always firmly in the desktops are superior camp but for most users an i5 or better laptop plus a USB dock if they need to sit at a desk would cover all they need for all uses. I'd just make sure if you do that route to buy one that has swappable ram and ssd as they are the 2 things that will likely need swapping out or upgrading first. My desktop is huge and old now so I'm very tempted to look at a Thunderbolt egpu and just shive my old discrete card in there to use off our laptop.

        Mightyaoe are selling the slightly bigger versions of these for $599, they aren't massive machine and offer slightly more expandability and room to work while not taking over your desktop.

        • danvelopment on 11/11/2022 - 12:48

          My laptop just connects to my home VPN and I RDP to my desktop when out of the house/office.

          I can use literally any old laptop, I don't have two sets of data and applications and if it's stolen/lost/broken then it's no big deal.

          ASUS Routers (and many others) have one click VPN.

      Great for a tiny homelab! Although I just use old hardware I can get for free or refurb machines for cheap

  • hummerh40 on 11/11/2022 - 11:10

    Also curious, why don't these have HDMI?

    The CPU is 9th Gen, the latest is 12th Gen (soon to be 13th Gen) so this is really quite old now.

    • Tmurder91 on 11/11/2022 - 11:57

      Yes and no, it really depends on what you are doing.

      For gaming, yes 100% agree, but these machines are typically for people who are doing admin/office/personal computing and so a good chance that everything they need the computer for is done via web browser (or basic software like Office365 etc) and so the performance requirements are so low that the average person would not notice the difference

        Even for gaming 9th gen is still fine. Unless you are playing at high frame rates this probably wouldn't bottleneck on a reasonable priced gpu. My PC is still sporting a 3rd gen i5 and generally speaking still runs games at 1080p fine. I'd see improvements if I upgraded but I don't play PC games much anymore to warrant paying for an upgrade.

    • Bill on 11/11/2022 - 14:33

      If someone was building a new custom gaming PC, I would tell them the same, but for these sff devices, 9th gen is more than enough, no room for a discrete gpu. I can currently play close to 200fps on a 3rd gen i5, GPU bottlenecked.

  • Dan Baker on 11/11/2022 - 12:24

    These Optiplex units are favoured overseas as cheap gaming rigs as they can take full height GPUs with moderate power requirements.

    • Bill on 11/11/2022 - 14:36

      This one doesn't look like it can.

    I run TrueNAS Scale on an 8th gen HP micro. It boots from a 256GB NVME and runs apps+virtualisation from there, and then has a 4TB 2.5" for storage. It's efficient, cool, and quiet, and does more than what I need. 13th gen would be expensive overkill in comparison!

    • coffeee on 11/11/2022 - 20:35

      Is TrueNAS Scale stable?, im using truenas in ESXI and then linux/windows for apps.

      • jaknz on 12/11/2022 - 19:54

        Depends on what you mean by stable. It hasn't crashed, and performance is great! I guess the current shortcoming is lack of features, as opposed to stability. The 22.12 release due next month should bring it pretty close to feature parity with Core though.

      • jaknz on 12/11/2022 - 19:55

        And the built-in app listing is okay, but not great. I added TrueCharts to mine for the good stuff
