can these be upgraded to win11 free? or is win10 pro better?
I assume these don't have any kind of internal expansion/upgrade, IE you need to replace current drive or RAM to upgrade

EDIT looks like price went up $20?

Who are their target customers? Small business owners?

That's typically what I've seen these used for. They are probably leased out to big business and resold once the lease is up.

I personally use one of these as a plex media server.

These are SMB/enterprise grade computers. I rather have this than what you see at Best Buy.

Its good for anyone needing a desktop at the house or small business network.

Strongly debating this -- for $124, it's a very decent machine.

Cons -- not as good of a value as a previous deal for a Dell 7060 MFF (8th gen i7 w/ 6 core, 32gb ram, upgradeable to Win11, and has an intel ethernet chip instead of realtek -- this is better for VMWare usage).

Then again, that was $250. So do I wait around and hope for another round of those being put on sale for literally twice the price?

These have an m2 slot and space for sata. So you can have 2 drives
