What you guys got? Looking for a new office computer. Recently bought an HP about 2 years ago but it glitches out. Wife says she never has problems with it but I seem to on the programs I use. We have our own company and we handle different aspects of it. Is Newegg still the "go to place"?

This is what I'm looking for:

1) Not cheap but not crazy expensive
2) Doesn't need to be touch screen
3) Good->Very good speed. IDk if it's internal ram or whatever is needed
4) Good size screen. I don't need something huge. Still have good eyes. Will also be connecting to another monitor for dual screens

What I use it for
1) Xactimate/Xactanalysis
2) Google Earth/Satellite (this was very glitchy on the other computer)
3) Job Nimbus
4) ABC Supply
5) Atlas Roofing
6) Home Depot/Lowes
7) Gmail

I know it's what you specifically asked for but I would not get an all in one. Screen goes out computer gets trashed. Computer goes out screen gets trashed. And putting all the heat generating things in the same box makes everything more likely to go out and get trashed. You also get less bang for the buck with an all in one.

I absolutely love small-form factor off-lease units like this + whatever monitor with DisplayPort inputs you want. Looking at your desired use case, it doesn’t seem like any of those programs are overly power-hungry.


Any chance you could navigate to this screen (settings—> about) on the current computer and give the Processor + installed RAM specs:
?

You are too broad. What does "not cheap but not crazy expensive" mean to you? Cheap to me is $500-$1000 and crazy expensive is $1,500-$3,000.

Need more specifics... What you are wanting to run, you will be wasting money on anything under $800. If its your business, then invest in your business and get something nice.

Another "no" vote. They are a PITA to work on (along with the reasons stated by others).

With what you are using it for, pretty much anything off the shelf will do. The only caveat I would add would be to get the RAM bumped up to 16GB. If you go with a big-box buy, you might want to have someone who knows what they're doing go through and remove bloatware.

It’s very unusual that a box like that will be “glitchy” with the programs you’re talking about.
Any chance you can expand on the sort of difficulty/frustration you’re having?

Google earth will flip out. Something about the webgl not working and that it’s rendering. Lose the image, measurements, etc I have been working on

Try updating the graphics driver on your current PC.

For general business use, I've been going with Intel NUCs.



They can be mounted behind the monitor of your choice for a clean all-in-one look.
