It says "No WLAN". Am planning to keep this in our kitchen area as a light MS office (creating spreadsheets, word docs, ppt presentations...etc.) and internet browsing 'work station' for the family members, but there is no hardwired connection nearby and it needs wireless capabilities.

Can please anyone guide me if this is a good priced and configuration wise better desktop and how do I add wireless capabilites.... TIA.

Sortaguy, this isn't a significant hurdle. A tplink usb adapter works for me very well. I forget the model, it was well reviewed on Amazon.

I'm sure you could stick a very-capable USB wifi receiver in an open usb port...

$17 for a very-highly-rated one with antenna, and you can find others with no visible antenna as well. https://www.amazon.com/wireless-U...r=8-4&th=1

Quote from LavenderPickle7682 :
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.

I know, right? Absolutely disgusting how they shortchange the specs, and even use sub-par 256gb ssd chips. It's 2024, stop giving me specs that were below average specs back in 2013 (when I bought a 16gb ram + 512gb ssd machine).

The power supply might not be enough.

Be wary of Dell because they use proprietary internals often. For example, one computer I got from Dell I had to buy a special cable in order to use a normal sata drive.

Good thing this form factor is already proprietary then, right?

It says it will come with AMD R5 430 2GB.

Does anyone know if it can output dual 4k monitors?

would this be upgradable to windows 11?
Even if it couldn't be officially upgraded, there's a workaround that's pretty easy to apply.

Just Google "Windows 11 TPM bypass".
