I think you can get a 4-core laptop with 16GB of RAM for $876 + $195 for the client, and afford to lose it at these prices; unless somehow your turnover rate is obscene; or you are an industry with extremely high security needs.
- shrubble 3y agoCostco has a Lenovo IdeaPad 1, 4gb RAM, decent low end CPU, 1080p screen and 128GB MMC onboard for $149.99. If you void the warranty by opening the back, you can supposedly add an 8GB DIMM and M2 drive of your choice. Aside from GPU heavy work that you won't get with the Amazon solution either, would hardly cost much more.
- wmil 3y agoWhat are the actual performance characteristics of the vCPUs? I had a farily awful experience at my last job... My 4 cpu virtual desktop was virtualbox emulating a xeon form 2010 w/16gb of RAM. Loaded with monitoring software. Barely useable. No 3d accelleration. It choked whenever I tried to run high end software like, well, Figma.
