I know of the G series and I know why they are usually a GEN behind specially given the quality of discrete graphics AMD has and they need to sale. But for work, for just productivity a lot of the savings washes up with the GPU. It used to be that you get super lowend graphics card for those workload but these days almost the lowest price GPU is ~90.

- CoolGuySteve 7y agoNo DisplayPort and it almost certainly doesn’t support 4k at 60Hz, both of which the Intel chipset supports and both of which I’d consider essential for high-end productivity use these days.
- copperx 7y agoI still don't get how people are making use of 4k outside MacOS. Windows and Linux Desktop environments require tons of massaging to get scaling right, even with flagship software (some Adobe programs don't scale properly). Here we are, 8 years after Apple started shipping "Retina" displays, and PC software hasn't caught up. It's embarrassing.
- CoolGuySteve 7y agoI use Ubuntu on a 13" 4k laptop with 2x scaling and I've never had any issues.
- broknbottle 7y agoah the OG king of HTPC/Media PC Graphics card. I used to have one in a HTPC paired with an Intel Q6600
- tempestn 7y agoWow, that was a powerful (hot) CPU for an HTPC!
- lhl 7y agoJust as an FYI for anyone looking for cheap basic display adapters, you can basically get an infinite supply of refurbed/pulled Quadro NVS 295 cards on eBay for $5-10.
