I’ve seen ads for small PCs that are more or less cubical in shape, to which I presume you then plug in a monitor, keyboard and mouse. Prices seem to be anywhere from $150 to $400 or so. Any recommendations? Not looking for it to do much other than connect to wifi and run a few programs (like turbotax) which are no longer supported on my main desktop PC that runs Win 8.1. | ||

Go to Newegg and search for “Mini PC Systems”. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Acer recertified is a good place to look. Free shipping and they don't collect sales tax to Indiana (at least they did not on my recently purchased Chromebook). https://acerrecertified.com/ ________________________ God spelled backwards is dog | |||

Dell Optiplex Micro https://www.dell.com/en-us/sho.../optiplex-3080-micro I think the current model is the 3000. We use these at work for all of our desktop setups Might fall at the top of your budget, but an i3 with 8gb ram should do the trick. Saw a few refurbs on Newegg in the 3-400 range. New seems to run closer to 5-700 We usually bought them with a platter drive & swapped in a SSD when we needed it. Requires reinstalling W11 though. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

You should be able to get an Intel NUC for less than $400. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

What doublesharp says.....my last two laptops have been Acer, the most recent came with Win 11. Look at their Chromebox mini desktop. | |||

I just bought a nice Dell on sale at Best Buy for 699. Definitely not the top of the line laptop but adequate to run Windows 11 and Microsoft Word, power point and excel. | |||

Dell all-in-one for around $450 includes a monitor and stuff. Takes up the space of a monitor. https://outlet.us.dell.com/ARB...bJYMemnGxRlRFA%3d%3d | |||

That's a neat little machine. Reminds me of a Windows RaspberryPi. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||
