I am Holding a PC - Dell Optiplex 7070 Ultra

[@HughJeffreys]

When dell can make a monitor stand more upgradable than most all-in-ones.

[@Pearloryx]

Yup. It can rival iMac for all in one monitors. Hi hugh jeffreys btw

[@goqwertygo]

My older Optiplex 9010/9020 is more upgrade-able than this, with a full desktop socket CPU. Although I'm about to max mine out with an i7 4790. With some modifications you can fit a regular desktop heat sink on it🤣I've been playing DOOM 2016 with a beast pcim external GPU dock and a Titan Black. just a fun side project I'm playing with. It's now older and dated, but wish they would make the newer ones CPU upgrade-able😕

For the intended market (corporate offices) a warranty is a given, it's paid for without question, we don't even factor that into budgeting.. it's just a cost of purchase, like sales tax. We normally do 3 years and then just replace it with an equivalent new model with a new warranty, but Dell offers much longer than that if you're lazy and don't like replacing user workstations that often. Most of the Latitude/Optiplex line comes with only half their upgradeable DRAM slots filled so you can easily do a mid-life upgrade to get 5 years out of them.

@@TheBeardedQuack If there was a portable enough solution then yes, I'd do that. That's why I'd like to see what could be possible in this area. I have a custom built mech keyboard and mouse that I take with me as it is, as I'm willing to sacrifice some weight and bulk to use the gear I like. I don't see the point in trying to source overpriced parts in countries where parts are scarce, or getting inferior parts I have to settle on using for months if I could just bring the gear I like in the first place. If I was just on holiday and need a computer then sure it would just be laptop.

To clarify I'm not saying this is a bad idea. But if you're in a different location every day, chances are that setting up and tearing down a PC (even a lightweight and portable PC) probably gets old fast. Some of this is getting easier as slowly USB is becoming even more universal, but for now I feel the best solution is likely a laptop you're comfortable with, and a couple select peripherals to suit your workload.

[@mahir7h]

@@--2 Dell has antireflective coating on the monitor as well. Regarding brightness: 1600 nits was a non-compliant gimmick that only works for a small area and all reference monitors stick to 1000 nits regardless of price range as that is what the standard calls for: as a colorist, you want consistency. The 1600 nit mode goes non linear beyond 1000 nits. As for viewing angles, I'll quotw the verge: And here’s Murilo, who’s been running post-production facilities for 16 years, including his previous gig working at the color shop that did Game of Thrones: Sadly, my biggest first impression was that the off-angle viewing was just incredibly inaccurate, even at the slightest angle. It’s so dramatic that when you’re standing right in front of it and looking at the display, there’s a vignette effect over the whole thing. Having worked a lot with the Sony X300s that Apple compared the displays to when they announced them, it was especially jarring to see how the Apple display stacked up to the Sony in real life. This is not a display that I would ever buy as a reference monitor for serious color work. As for resolution: you can only master content at the same resolution as the rest of the chain, the rest of the equipment will likely be limited to 4K. A possible use case for the stand would be to have a personal use computer that uses the same display in side-by-side mode or for switching between the personal use computer and the color grading computer on the airgapped production network

It was an optiflex

[@superrswalkthrougn]

The gall of that statement lmao. Linus didn't even know he had the damn product until an inventory audit, AND THEN makes a video on it, and then flexes that someone else will make a similar product now that he made a video. No hate but imagine that level of success

[@twistedtechnology]

We recently considered these for where I work but decided to stick with the Optiplex SFF and AIO's instead. Cool concept but the price for a similarly specced AIO was lower when you factor in the price of the PC module, the stand, the screen, speakers, and webcam all of which are included in the AIO.

I kinda doubt it because they treat their business customers nicely compared to their private.

The NUC with a VESA mount is a wonderful solution, I helped someone put one together a few years ago as a present for their wife. Extremely clean setup and I could guide them on which components to buy and how to install easily. Amazing product. Not sure this is necessary when that exists and is most likely higher performance.

Dell's consumer products and business solutions are basically separate companies that shares logo and part of distribution line. As far as I know (may not be true) - motherboards and components for Latitude and Vostro are made by Intel and Compal, and they are assembled by Dell itself in Ireland and Brasil, and (most) Inspirons are manufactured in China and Taiwan by subvendors and only supervised.

I use these in the production plant I work at as an IT specialist. They're amazing for mass maintenance, and deployment. Also, Dell has got something called a Wyse client, which is a small computer that just receives a client machine's stream from the server, usually virtual clients. So you can have a shit-ton of clients on a server, from one place, and the Wyse's will just provide a picture. The management dashboard is great, and easy to setup and use. Its great for various check-in throughout the plant. Good little computers.

[@dreamscape9295]

This is absolutely amazing and I wouldn't mind one for light work. This is a huge step forward and there's definitely a big market for this. It also made me check to see if there was a PC built into the Dell monitor I just got at a garage sale; I would've lost it if there was.

Dell: "Let's make something with an incredibly small footprint that puts Apple to shame for its affordability and ease of repair... and then neglect to bring it to the consumer market." Seriously, what the fuck are you doing Dell.

[@tsmith906]

You could make a water cooling loop with shut off valves to close the loop and act as the clips you line up to snap the pc container into place to connect the loop again and mechanically unblock flow so you can easily protect the line from leaking water or pressure. You dont need a reservoir in that tiny space either so long as the line was pressure filled to a fraction of 1 psi so all you would need in the pc case is a cheap turbine engine using miniscule power instead of a pump, the cpu heatsink, and the water line to connect it all. The stand could be hollowed out with a fan on each end flowing bottom to top. You could feed the loop into a series of aluminum fins like you see on good cpu coolers but hollow and water flowing through the flat fin creating a whole lot more surface area so more water molecules are im contact with the aluminum than in a cylindrical line. You could even possibly use lots and lots of the smallest lines possible before cappilary action occurs and orient them in a lattice and basically design the loop through the wind tunnel as series after series after series of thick strand mesh stacked ontop of one another utilizing as much volume of the wind tunnel as possible and by making the line as small as physics will allow water to still flow through your forcing the most possible watet molecules to directly contact the aluminum dissipating alot more heat from the water and the mesh like design layout of the loop would siphon away the heat right out the top. Then and right out the top of the stand. If that radiator methodolgy proved effective then you could even then consider a waterblock enclosure for just like they make currently for GPUs but make its slightly bigger to make it an eGPU and connect it to the loop as well. so it could be the size of a single slot card by width with no use for airflow to the gpu. Certianly small enough to contemplate methodology to mount it somewhere on the stand with the power, data and water loop connections in the mount so it all connects automatically upon snapping it into the mount just like the other one.you may even be able to connect the egpu to the pc package via pcie lanes if you can connect the extender wires through the chassis of the stand to both data plugins into the enclosures when clipped in their mounts.

Wow, I wish I knew about these. I just bought a bunch of NUCs for work, and this is super cool. Um, yeah, why is this not a mainstream thing? Dell needs to think a bigger market space for this idea.
