[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7856682, member: 718"] The Mac Mini doesn't look like bad value if mid-spec PC's can't be found for much less than a Grand. The Mac with M1 chip has a decent spec for £525 + VAT. That's for an 8 core processor that is very fast indeed, with 16GB RAM and 256GB hard drive. More spec will cost more but for office duty it is a great spec and a 2TB external drive could sit on top of it, to supplement the 256 onboard [Apple charge £180 just to double it to half of a Terabyte] to store files and cost only £45+VAT Another one would be advised for backups to supplement the standard iCloud backup. So £615+ VAT would get you a fairly high spec processor with great graphics, 2.25Terrabytes of total storage, 256GB being blisteringly fast SSD. No speakers though. Few desktops for business come with speakers as standard but perhaps the existing monitor would have speakers? If indeed they are needed for this application. If watching YouTube or any video or music, even games, then speakers are essential. [/QUOTE]
