Point of sale PC

[DutchTexan]

Any suggestions for an extremely basic system?

 

The system will be used as a point of sales/check out system for a small business. This store has an existing dell inspiron laptop and it works amazingly, especially with the touchscreen. However, this is a total waste of resources...

 

required:

cheaper than a responsive laptop

wireless adapter

touch screen monitor

ssd (32gb is fine)

as small as possible

I'd just get a NUC and attach it to a monitor.

There are apps you can use with tablets IIRC. That'd probably look a lot more streamlined.

This basically limits you to laptops or tablets. Standalone touch screen monitors and a decent computer are incredibly expensive compared to a similar laptop or tablet PC. Does it need to run Windows or would Chrome OS work?

I guess there's no building anything cheaper.

You can take a look at ShopKeep, it works on iOS tablets IIRC. Square is another. But, honestly, it all depends on how the store's set up.

If you don’t mind iOS, you can get a 32GB iPad for only $329. Then get PoS app like Square. https://squareup.com/us/en/software/point-of-sale
