Hi #Linux team - any recommendations for a work desktop computer with the following requirements:

  • can do basic research stuff (reading, writing) and also a little bit of basic data analysis (with python or Matlab)
  • would run a distribution like #ZorinOS or Mint
  • with a Max budget of ~£500 (tax / screen / accessories not included)?
  • Ideally buying from this website: uk.insight.com/en_GB/shop/cate…

It's for work so I don't think we can go through 2nd hand websites and such to buy this..

Thanks for any suggestions!

you don't say if that's incl VAT or not, but regardless - the Lenovo ThinkCentre SFF boxes are pretty solid.

Because of the business usecase, I think 500 without Tax?

@P_Lucas yes £500 without tax, sorry, I forgot to mention it but have now updated the original post!

That one seems like a perfect match - thank you!!
