I’ve had a Chromebook for over three years now, bought with the idea that when I’m not actually in my office, I spend nearly all of my time in Chrome anyway, so maybe a $250 laptop is all I need. ![]() This entry was posted in Computer Stuff on 2-January-2016 by admin. Of course, I’ll post a progress report here at the end of the week. My Adobe Creative Cloud license allows me to run Lightroom and Photoshop on Windows, so I’ll need to install them, too. I’ll need to put it together, install Windows, and move my 52,000 or so photos over from the Mac. Since it’s a large desktop, it also has expandability, whereas the NUC I ordered has none. (Both the NUC and the Mac Mini have dual-core i7 processors, not quad-core.)Īn alternative, but much larger, system from Dell is an XPS 8700 desktop with a 1TB disk for $900 (without monitor or SSD). That’s a good price, too, since its i7 is a quad-core, and it comes with a DVD drive, a keyboard, and a mouse. And, unlike the Mac Mini, the NUC has room for the SSD internally. By comparison, a Mac Mini with an i7, 16GB, and a 1TB drive is $1400 the corresponding part of my NUC is $657 (including price of Windows), which is less than half as much. The total cost for all of this from Amazon was $1200, incredibly cheap for such a high-end system. No keyboard and mouse–already have them. ![]()
