Will 8GB RAM be sufficient? Also if I use my Windows 7 Ultimate product key, will that give me access to Windows 10 Pro? If so then I can cut costs by getting a lower RAM config and a Windows 10 Home pre-installed system

So it definitely looks like the Dell XPS13 is the way to go. Now I just need to narrow down a good config. I believe i7, 16GB RAM, and at least 256GB storage will be sufficient, the more the better though.

A bit of both unfortunately. Australia pays massive import fees on tech and the AUD has been a bit weird lately. I can probably negotiate some student prices and my employer can give me some discounts when ordering directly from Dell. I just need to find one in a spec decently priced. i7 and 16GB RAM with 256GB is what I'd think would be a minimum config for my proposed workload

Hello all! I am an Australian IT student focusing on networking. For the past year I have been using a secone hand Surface Pro 3 i5 config, as well as the provided HP workstations in class, but there has been a fair amount of thermal issues and it has started to slow down so I think it's time for a bit of an upgrade. In addition to the fact that we now need to work solely on our personal machines. I have a budget of $1000-$2000 AUD, and I need a laptop that can handle enterprise level virtualisation of Windows and Linux machines. I'd like something with a 13 inch form factor and a decent touch screen. My understanding is that a decent processor and RAM, as well as capable storage will be all I need. Gaming is not a primary concern, if it can play something along the likes of CS:GO smoothly, that's a bonus. One of the things I was considering was a Dell XPS 13, or an LG Gram. If anyone has any suggestions for laptops, or any feedback on enterprise virtualisaiton requirements/recommendations then that would be great. Thanks.

Are your OS resolution settings, and display screen settings adjusted correctly? Ensure there is no zoom function enabled on the display itself. Your aspect ratios may also be causing the issue.

Hello all, I am about to begin studying my second IT qualification. As part of my course, I have to work in a team to implement a help desk system across 3 campuses, as we have to collaborate for a real world project and this is our leader's choice. I am writing this post to see if anyone could supply some good suggestions for some help desk software that I can look into. These are the restrictions for our choices: Locally hosted Open-source Free Compatibility with multiple operating systems As far as our hardware is concerned, we have some decent workstation PCs, and we were just going to use one of them to run a server for the system, get everything set up and working on a reference system, and work on a method of distribution from there. We are looking at using Windows Server 2016, but if anyone has any Linux server options that work just as well in running a help desk system, please let me know. The majority of work stations across the campuses are running Windows 10, with some Mac machines available, but it is hard to say whether they are used for anything other than familiarization with Mac OS. We are currently looking at 2 options, Bugzilla and Spiceworks. If anyone has any opinions on those, then please let me know as well. Thank you in advance for any replies.
