So working as an IT director/Teacher for a local private school in the DC metro area, I was contacted by another IT director to see if we had any use for basically brandnew (some of them still in packaging) Lenovo Tiny M715q small form factor desktop units with the 23 inch monitor that you add the machine too and it basically functions as an "All in One" for $400 each. They ordered them last year and are willing to part with them for a loss because the machines were donated to the school. The machines are the AMD A12-9800 version with 12GB of ram and R7 graphics. His school also has 4 additional monitors that are 27 inch in size that run at 2560x1440. With the wear and tear these machines will get over the next 3 years from K-4 grades learning to type and basic coding, I think I'll be good in that respect...
My boss said go for it and we purchased them. I also had a hairbrain idea. My mother has been pestering me for a nice desktop machine where it is "all together" she loves to come home from her nursing job and do her facebook crap and look at pics of the grandkids. I can purchase one of these machines from my school with the bigger monitor and give it to her as a combined moms day and birthday present. Her last computer lasted her 8 years and she doesn't like to use a laptop. I think one of these machines will fit the bill, but I am worried about the eventual bitching of "It's too slow.."
Has anyone else had any luck with these types of machines? The reviews have been pretty basic and can't semem to see anything in-depth.
Thx.
