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😕

That's a pretty cool item, and I hear the warranty is really good too... And you're going to get the warranty whether you want it or not.

[@W1ldTangent]

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.

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. Heck, with the external GPU, this is actually a good argument for even some gaming rigs, and more mobile ones at that.

I deployed Intel NUCs in the past for small footprint setups. I saw these and decided to give the 7070 Ultra and decided to give it a shot. Super happy with them so far.

[@TheVirusWar]

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.

"Especially now that we've made a video about it." Loving the clout flex. It's true though, the high opinions of this thing in the video could very well drive a bunch of new customers to these that otherwise never would have known about it. I believe Dell probably already has it's own consumer iMac competitor in the works, and launching these to the business segment is a way to get the design perfected and tooling paid for with the higher prices business customers are willing to pay.

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.

[@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'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.

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.

[@sbrazenor2]

Eventhough this isn't 'consumer', you can still buy it as a consumer. It does have some good applications that I can think of. For an appliance PC, where you want internet access in a workshop for example, without having a big PC case or laptop spread out on a bench. My personal use-case would be as a music server connected to my DAC, which allows for a simple footprint and portability if I move around my setup; while keeping a sleek and simple footprint when in use. (I'm presently using a small thin client for the job.)

Dunno if I missed it, or it's not been done - but I would really be interested in seeing contemporary computers running lightweight Unix distros. Maybe contrast with what you get out of the same hardware with Windows? Can you imagine how quickly a distro that doesn't eat up resources would run? Got a gen 1 i5 in an old laptop (used because it's a tank and it runs so well) and for dedicated computing demands like basic audio production - it is perfectly suited. True multimedia work isn't going to happen, but sometimes a one trick pony is all you need - if you only need one trick.

We bought the 7090 Ultra model for our business. So far I'm not too enthused about them. Users experience slow load times, slow performance, and lagging keyboard inputs. I contacted Dell for a replacement due to an issues where once the PC restarts, it no longer posts and has to be hard shutdown. Even the replacement model locked up after downloading and installing Windows updates. Not sure if it is due to the mechanical drive we opted for, or the single stick of DDR4 RAM, but they are overheating I think.
