Why not a fan of refurbished? Most tech hardware follows a "bathtub curve" of failure rates....either it fails early in the lifecycle, or it lasts a long time and fails near the end of its lifecycle.

These machines were announced around 4.5 years ago (sept '19). They've probably been in service for around 4...about half of most computer gear lifespans, as properly maintained desktops get around 8-10 years of life.

With refurbished, you're delaying eWaste while saving significant amounts on the cost. Computer hardware has been very capable for the 5-8 years -- although there have been performance improvements and more power efficient components, unless you're pushing a machine to the limits, you'll be hard pressed to observe a normal/office use difference between an 8th gen and a 10th/11th gen. If anything, it'd be a modest improvement when compared side-by-side.

And the specs are very decent -- video upgrade, reasonable SSD size, and 32gb ram. That's considerably more than most entry-level systems even in 2024, which still tend to be a paltry 8gb ram and 256gb ssd.

There's a 7080 with a 10th-gen i7 with otherwise similar specs for $350 + tax. Is that a good deal for general desktop use?

Biggest concern would be power consumption. You can get a mini PC with Intel N100 cpu that uses almost no power (6W), and it is powerful enough to run plex. I have two, one for opnsense and another for blueiris (14 cameras, and running ai detection) and it sits at 20-50% cpu

If you are interested in a Plex server, >=8th Gen Intel U is a good choice. That's the minimum gen to get HEVC hardware transcoding. Do not buy anything lower than that.

yes, but this one also is...though newer one is likely to last more

QSV is the same in 7th and 8th gen.

I've worked with hundres of Dell Optiplex small form factors like that since the core-2-duos and none of them ever died, EVER! I'm still running a 3rd gen i5 as a HTPC. They are tanks.

Lenovo businiess desktops are pretty solid too. I'm running a core-2-duo Lenovo business PC as well. Refurbished with Win10pro from Staples for $20 from an old slickdeal in 2019.

What about the TPM module, or whatever it is? Does this PC have that?
