    What's your budget?

    • chastonts on 27/05/2024 - 19:18

      $1.2k -1.3k range

      • lordra on 27/05/2024 - 19:31

        Since for work, do you need dual monitor setup? 27"?
        Mouse? Keyboard? Headset? Speakers? Camera? Mousepad?

          @chastonts
          Update?

          • chastonts on 30/05/2024 - 19:54

            @lordra: sorry. i might go for all in one with wired kb and mouse. speaker and camera options are not relevant. But 1tb ssd and 16 gb ram is IMPORTANT. So i think dell may be better but they are not providing wired kb&m. THe price is reasonable but not sure dell is a better choice than hp? What do you think about dell all in one computer? Thanks for your help

    What will it be used for? What type of course are they studying? Will it be used for gaming?

    • chastonts on 27/05/2024 - 19:19

      its not for gaming. Just for study purpose.Child finishes 12th soon. Going to uni. Thanks

      • pharkurnell on 29/05/2024 - 10:04

        Then wouldnt you be better off with a laptop?

        • donga100 on 30/05/2024 - 18:08

          Yeah, I would probably suggest a laptop too. You can get a dock to use it at home with external monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc. and then have the flexibility to take it to uni.

        • chastonts on 30/05/2024 - 18:28

          got the laptop already. this is an additional.
          better will go with 23" instead of 27. THat is much cheaper

            @chastonts: What is the point of buying a desktop then? If it isn't needed for gaming it would seem a lot more convenient to me to have everything on one computer (the laptop). 23" monitors feel very small unless you are running multiple. Save money on the AIO by just buying a dock and monitor instead.

    • chastonts on 27/05/2024 - 19:20

      its not for gaming!

    You should consider the cheap mini PCs on Amazon, eg Trigkey 5800H with 32gb RAM and 1TB NVME SSD is regularly on sale for $545, then buy a 27" 2K or 32" 4K monitor

    • chastonts on 27/05/2024 - 19:20

      Hi, how much for 27" full hd or 4k monitor? Thanks

      • lordra on 27/05/2024 - 19:31

        Super cheap mate.
        Aldi had a 31" for just $200 a few weeks ago.
        EOFY sales are around the corner, so best time to buy is now. Just wait, watch and then pounce when the deal drops.

        There are also refurb'd pcs from ebay on here that you can get for $300.

        • chastonts on 30/05/2024 - 18:30

          Thanks! Better will wait for eofy deals.

        There was a 27" Acer on Ozbargain for $189 just yesterday, and that wasn't particularly cheap.
