Attract compactness. I want to buy for programming and deploying servers.
I ask you to share the experience of those who worked with them, also worked on a laptop, desktop and have something to compare with.

Answer 1

At work, about 10 of these + 4G memory + 60-120-240G SSD - close all office tasks. They don't slow down, they don't make much noise. I bought one such smarter + 8G memory - smart, but noisy and heated.

If the given parameters are enough for you, then take it. I'm thinking of taking everything to my mother, thanks for reminding me. General reviews say that it works and works, an ordinary computer, only small in size.

Answer 3

i3/i5 are cool, i7 gets hot and noisy.
And so - a computer, like a computer. Weaker than regular desktops, of course - still the platform is more like a laptop one.
