Whats a Desktop Deal:

There are many factors you need to take into account in order to make something a deal. Manufacturer, Product line, Specs and warranty are usually what to look at when figuring that out. You need to consider prices as well, sometimes you get a price so hot that it doesn't matter what company it is.

Generally speaking here are the guidelines for Intel processors:

i3 8th Gen processor - Under $300 is usually a hot deal, Under $350 is decent
i5 8th Gen Processor - Under $400 is a Usually a Hot Deal
i7 8th Gen Processor - Under $600 is a Usually Hot Deal

to be continued....

Looking for a all in one desktop PC -


    It will only be used for internet browsing, watching movies and some word documents.

Prefer an HP but open to anything!   20-23inch

Looking for a desktop that its primary uses are: Using QuickBooks, Proseries 12, storing qb and ps files and scanning documents into qb. Currently my boss has a laptop which is literally falling apart which is storing 2 years' worth of clients information. My idea is to get a desktop and mirror it from the pc before it dies on us

I assume if you want to mirror it you need something capable of running the same OS. What are you running on the laptop.
