You have an 8core laptop with 32gig RAM for $700? That's not super common though, I think usually you'd spend more like $2500-$3000k for it. Count in the reduced maintenance and hardware support + having your whole stuff in one place.. Might make sense if you are not super low on money
- betaby 5y agoYou still have access that cloud Windows from ... laptop. So one have to pay for laptop + that cloud instance.
- formerly_proven 5y agoThe idea is probably that employees / contractors use their own hardware to access this. Someone likely already figured out how to fill out the Excel spreadsheets to make this secure.
- aksss 5y agoI think you can get the Dell XPS 13 , 32GB RAM, 11th gen i7 for about $2100 or sometimes less, but yeah. Definitely not seen these specs for $700.
- donmcronald 5y ago> You have an 8core laptop with 32gig RAM for $700? Like I said, it's used, so yes. I think the new cost is right in your $2500-$3000 range for a new version.
- pb82 5y agoNot quite 700$ but I recently bought a Laptop with a Ryzen 5700u (8 cores, 16 threads) and upgraded the RAM to 40Gb. Easily under 1000$ brand new.
