$499 - $100 is $399… Not $299.

Yeah, the OP is incorrect. It's actually on sale for $399 and the $100 coupon code brings it down to $299.

I'm looking for a basic office processor for an accounts receivable staff member. Any thoughts on expanding memory on this and using as a cheap fix for a slow, 10yr old PC that they are on?

isn't the other one at amazon (5800u) a better deal than this for the same price?

Why would you need to expand the memory? 16gb of ram should be plenty for basic office work. Having said that it does look like the memory is upgradable and fairly easy to do but it does look like it uses SO-DIMMs. Laptop sized memory instead of standard desktop DIMMs.

Jesus, when will it stop? People who always tell you that you'll never need more than 8 or 16 gigs of RAM are worse than the vegan nazis. This is just nonsense and nothing more than an uninformed, biased opinion.

I didn't say no one ever needs more than 16gbs of ram. I said

which I think is fairly reasonable. Also for a replacement for a 10 year old computer 16gb may well be more memory than the old computer has. That would be 3rd or 4th gen Intel Core series which should have a max of 32gbs of memory. 4gb or 8gb wouldn't be surprising in that old of a system.

Again, you're just assuming things when no one has asked you to. YOU had computers with 4gb of RAM 10 years ago. My oldest PC is from 2009 and it came with 16gb. All of my stuff from 10 years has either 16 or 32gb or ram.

You have no idea which requirements "office work" actually has, since it's all the same to you. If someone asks you about an upgrade path for RAM, telling them that "it's already good enough" should never be the first thing that you reach for.

32gb would have been the max memory capacity supported by a consumer system back then and in my experience that is pretty uncommon. Sure it's possible and some people have reason to need it many more people don't need it and don't ever upgrade their memory to that point. We are discussing a budget mini-pc as a replacement for a 10 year old PC I think it's reasonable to assume that it isn't replacing a maxed out machine or going to be used for highly demanding task. I did also answer the question.

As a random data point the current Steam hardware survey has ~25% of systems with less than 16gb of ram, ~50% of systems with 16gb of ram and ~25% with more than 16gb of ram. So even today having a system with more memory than this comes with would be uncommon in this data set.
https://store.steampowered.com/hw...e-to-Steam

A historical article about the survey in 2013 indicates 12gb+ was ~10% of the survey at that point.

I know this data set isn't perfect and isn't really related to an office PC but I don't know of any better data set with average system memory noted.

You're pretty spot on-- they're on 8GB. Everyone up front runs a million processes at once (bouncing back and forth between payroll, finance, word processing, etc) so RAM is typically eaten up with low CPU engagement. You're right that 16GB should be plenty to start.
