@melroy@mastodon.melroy.org @jon@vivaldi.net I one I looking at has 2 SSD drives and room for HDD for backup. Want small SSD for / and programs, larger one for /home so I can easily reinstall/upgrade, with the HDD as data backup. I have my own cloud on my hosted server for stuff. Want mini for portability between places, but sick of laptop and neck issues, want a nice keyboard and mouse,
@MorpheusB@aus.social @jon@vivaldi.net I see. I get what you’re after now. It’s always better than mobile phone for sure. And most likely much more ergonomic than a laptop. I just hope the performance are good enough to your liking.
Gpu you don’t really need I suppose. So igpu would be sufficient. Maybe ideally with a fast amd 7040 series cpu and ddr5 would be blazing fast. Together with a fast m2 ssd indeed.
@melroy@mastodon.melroy.org @jon@vivaldi.net I have been given a 24" monitor, perfect for desktop, and have usb keyboard and mouse and usb hub. Just need the NUC/mini computer.
@melroy@mastodon.melroy.org @jon@vivaldi.net agree. About to get mini computer
@MorpheusB@aus.social @jon@vivaldi.net and use the cloud for all the compute☁️? No thanks. Just give me a workstation already 🤣🤗

@MorpheusB@aus.social @jon@vivaldi.net ah I see. That sounds like a in between desktop and laptop kinda system. Sounds actually pretty cool.
What about your screen? Especially how do you bring that on eye level?
@melroy@mastodon.melroy.org @jon@vivaldi.net monitor on work desk, just like a desktop computer. I knew them as NUC.
