https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/783814 These look like good deals, laptops with 8G of RAM for $200 or less. 8G isn't good for Windows but is great for Linux, my personal laptop has 8G of RAM and works very nicely. Some of those laptops have USB-C which allows connecting to a dock to easily run with a big monitor (or multiple monitors) and the full range of desktop peripherals. A USB-C dock with Ethernet, HDMI, and multiple USB ports starts at about $25 on ebay. But if you want to run an older laptop that way you need to check the specs carefully, there were some laptops released with USB-C that didn't have Displayport/HDMI/Thunderbolt functionality in that port. I haven't checked the specs carefully on those laptops, just briefly skimmed them to determine that some have USB-C and some don't. Also these prices while deemed a bargain by the ozbargain people probably aren't that far outside the general price range. If you want something similar but slightly different you can probably find it on ebay or amazon. https://etbe.coker.com.au/2023/06/01/desktop-computers-sense/ As an aside I think that nowadays for most people desktop computers don't make sense. Unless you do serious 3d gaming a laptop can probably do everything you need to do. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ linux-aus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/linux-aus To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to linux-aus-unsubscribe-cunTk1MwBs8iFSDQTTA3OBCuuivNXqWP@public.gmane.org
