VeryPC Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Hey @LukeC We'd more than happy to help! I'd highly recommend the VeryPC Aspect Slim or our Flex Micro, both of which are very popular with fellow EduGeekers! I'll get one of our awesome sales champions to drop you a PM! - Ryan 1

steveg Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 We got a load of Intel NUC computers with vesa mounts and monitors from VeryPC which we've been very happy with. Even had our branding put on them too, look very smart! 1

I still have an email from your marketing person somewhere that I said i'd reply to with some photos of them, it hasn't quite made it to the top of my to-do list yet though! (only been about a year!)
mrwoberts Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Hi Luke In answer to your question... I've recently purchased that model, with the 256GB - the users didn't need the 512. In fact, depending on the usage, you could potentially opt for a 16GB RAM with the 256GB if that works any better. For the disk space, I generally set aside 10% of space for over-provisioning. So my 256 disks become roughly 220, and 512 becomes 450. I can say without a doubt that they are fast and very easy to configure. I like the fact that the Prodesk model has an HP driver pack, so very easy to add to your deployment tasks, or just to install all up-to-date drivers in one go. These have replicated BIOS setup options, so you can configure your settings on one, back up those settings, then import those on the remaining units - saves a bit of time. No issues currently. I'm using 1909 EDU version. EDIT: Just an extra comment. The units I purchased had VGA and DP outputs onboard. Therefore you'd need an add-in graphics card for HDMI or DVI.

Oooh that's probably me or my colleague, Nicole! If you bump it to the top of your to do list then once I'm back in the office I'll send you some VeryPC socks... How's that for bribery? - Ryan
DrBeaker Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 240/256GB SSDs are perfectly fine. That's what most of ours run/will be upgraded to. Still loads of room after being reimaged. Maybe 150GB or more. Only people who need more are maybe your IT team/graphics/video people. Everythng else is either on a large HDD, NAS or file server.
