We also have replenished our stock of DELL INSPIRON 13 2IN1 5368 13.3" | I5-6200U | 8GB | 256GB so that sale is still going (link below)

All the specs are down below with some upgrades available. 1 year warranty on all plus cables included (power adapter). Click and collect is available from our Yarraville, Melbourne 3013 warehouse.

        come with win11, which I don't think is offically supported on 6th gen, Win 11 support starts on 8th gen Intel CPU ?

        • outlander on 09/09/2022 - 19:37
          +1

          I think the win11 lack of support is largely due to TPM that's needed. Systems in the last 5 years have a TPM v2 embedded in the CPU, so they can run it without additional hardware.

          According to this article, these systems may be able to have the TPM updated somehow, thus giving them support for win11. Or they are just bypassing the whole thing altogether

        • Void on 10/09/2022 - 17:55

          I've never seen a desktop PC just kick the bucket without reason to like being dropped or run in a sauna. Laptops are different since they get moved around every day and can't fit cooling systems that will actually keep them alive for a good amount of time.

          The only things I'd be worried about in these are the fans and those are replaceable for cheap.

          • Nom on 10/09/2022 - 18:01

            @Void: The power supplies also don't last forever on the larger corporate machines - that's probably the second most likely thing to fail after the fans…

            Not sure about the laptop-style units that these use though…

          I'm not interested in the PC myself, have plenty already.
          Your comment isn't valid tho. Chances are this will have less faults over a new PC to be honest.

          PC parts last for decades, with the exception of hard disks and even SSD that are a long term consumable.
          Even then they could last forever with home and office usage patterns, it's just a higher probability of failure with storage devices so ymmw new or old…

    • Shermanpk on 09/09/2022 - 21:03

      Yeah, 7/8/9 Gen is what you ideally want.

      An i3 7/8/9 Gen is probably going to perform better for things like vitalisation and Quick Sync.

        35W in a cupboard is fine, and it actually uses a lot less unless you are running it flat out. This is not a bitcoin rig.
        Just don't put it in the linen cupboard under the linen.

        Worst that will happen with old gear is a fan fails, triggering a thermal shutdown.

      I have one behind my TV. You'd be hard pressed to identify it's on. The heatsink/cooler is quite a good design, and the chip is a T version so 35W max TDP. Just ensure there's some fresh air getting into the cupboard and it'll be fine.

      • muzzakus on 10/09/2022 - 11:10

    Currently have an optiplex 9010 (i7 3770) mainly used to run blue iris (CCTV) and the unifi controller software.

    1) would it be worth "upgrading" to this to take advantage of Intel quicksync and being able to use H. 265?

      Are you happy with your current display? The GPU on this is the main upgrade.

      It has an m2 socket, and 2.5" SATA. It would be nice if the rep could specify which one is in use by the SSD.

          There's a simple reg key that disables the CPU check and another that disables the TPM check.
          Set those keys to enable Win 11 to install on almost anything.

          NanoPi make some absolutely tiny ARM systems that might work.

  • BJReplay on 28/09/2022 - 11:29

    Posting here because @FuseTechAu have not responded to multiple attempts to contact them. I bought this and it was delivered on Monday without the antenna for the built in WiFi which is no big deal because I was going to plug it in via Ethernet, but with the wrong power supply. I've emailed them twice, I've messaged them via their FB page, and messaged them here, and radio silence.

    Do these guys have a good reputation normally?

    Right now I have a $200 paperweight that I need because the PC that was running automation has died, but I'm going to have to do a chargeback because I can't get them to respond to me to fix the problem and that's really annoying.
