Need a new development desktop - my ideal choice would have been an iMac, but cannot find anything in the refurb / clearance store + the new ones seem a little bit pricy to get them up to the spec I would want for the next 2-3 years.
Figured a new Windows 10+Ubuntu desktop will do the trick.
Has anyone gone through the process of pricing / building a new desktop or buying something from Dell / Lenovo recently?
Looking at a newish-middle tier CPU - i7, 4-6 core, with 16GB (upgradable to 32GB) RAM, SSD + 1TB drive (should be able to add another one or two drives in the future if need be).
Should support min 2 (upgradable to 3 or 4) monitors. Don't need any fancy GPU / gaming features.
Out of the box this looks good, but have to check and see what this means
XPS 8930 Desktop with 8th Gen Intel Processor | Dell Hong KongZ370 with Intel K CPUs only (some features of Z chipset not supported, including dual graphics)
Could not find anything from Lenovo on their website with 16GB out of the box.
Store built computers open up a larger range of possibilities...
